Just wanted t'pop in and tell ya that there were gatherings in Columbus. One happened not long past, though there's question whether the host, Bella, will do any more. There ARE women in your town, though. Cool folks, too. Met a number of cool women there. There's also folks in neighboring Wisconsin and Ohio, with their events, and there's others on this section that have posted.
Keep the faith, sir. If ya don't find 'em one on one, y'might wanna meet 'em in a group, at a gathering somewhere you want to travel. Better vacations are rare, IMHO.
