I am glad to hear that you are feeling ready to put yourself out there. You have a very clear idea of what you want, and more importantly of who you are, and that will serve you well in the dating arena. My only recommendation would be to push the limits of your comfort zone as much as you can without betraying your values. Putting yourself out there, dating different people, making yourself vulnerable - these can all be highly uncomfortable, but it is in that discomfort that most of our growth happens. I look forward to hearing of your adventures.
And I look forward to hearing about you heading back to the climbing gym soon as well!
