I will see how things develop with Alan.  Alan is a very friendly man, who works hard and loves his children and grandchildren very much, as well as his extended family.  Alan is open and easy to talk with and seems to be willing to have a casual dating relationship.  While he lives about an hour and 45 minutes from me, we have seen each other once in his area, as I have family near him.  I am not sure how much we will see each other, but I wish to take a little time to learn more.
