Ellen, I won't lie. I had given up, and when this happened, I was stunned. I have known this guy for so long! It's unreal. I will not pull that crap and tell you all the cliché things I have heard for years. I will say stay alert. That guy may be right there, but you never considered him a love interest. Just look around and consider. I believe all the men in your small community know what a great woman you are and beautiful, to top it off, but may be afraid to approach you. Think about it.
