Welcome to the online dating world! I've been at it for over a year with very limited success. It seems to me most people are pretending to be something they are not and the authentic, real, and vulnerable ones ready to open their hearts to love are not online (at least the males aren't). Sounds like you might be one of those, so lucky for all those ladies in your geographic area.
I've met guys very early in the process and after emailing for a lengthy period. I prefer to meet early on to see if the "attraction" or "chemistry" really exists. 90% of the time it unfortunately does not. I wish you all the best and can't wait to follow your adventures!!
BTW, just an FYI...if you put down that you are "separated" many of the women you are seeking won't respond. Talking with my g/friends, who are also looking for a relationship, we believe that's a "deal breaker" because it shows the guy isn't finished with his previous relationship and unavailable for commitment. For what it's worth.....
