Hey there Max,
My name is Emily, 34/F, in CA (USA).
I align with much of what you shared in your original post. I’m wary of meeting people on line and have only looked at this website once before (the first time I read The Ringing Cedars).
Almost didn’t reply but seeing you posted last yesterday , how could I not?(!)
Would be interested to chat
Not sure next steps,
Cheers,
Em
