I'm just a pretty regular, one-woman guy who is without and has been for years now - I don't meet people very easily, it seems, and I'm beginning to wonder if I will just be alone for the rest of my life like my grandmother Lola after the death of her husband. I not a 'lost soul' just a solitary one, it seems.

Probably best to meet for something light & easy - the coffee/lunch thing, I suppose. While you can learn about someone by reading thier messages, the critical chemistry/timing/fit aspect of personal relationships really only becomes clear in person, so something simple, easy, safe and fun would be best to start with I have to think. After that ? Well, I think I know where the best sushi in the state of Hawaii is served....
