50M [M4F] NH/MA - looking for someone to relate to - proud parent, lonely parent

As mentioned above, I'm older and quite honestly lonely. I have one real friend. I'm not about to spill my emotional guts to him. He already knows enough. I'm looking to make new friends, online and in real life. I want to meet someone I can feel comfortable talking to concerning inner feelings I have on all kinds of topics. No, I'm not looking for you to be my therapist, I already pay someone for that! I'd like to meet people that might help me break out of my shell. Ironically my day job has me talking face to face with all sorts of people but when it comes time for finding friends or putting myself out there I become shy, quiet, and an introvert until I get to know you. Then, well, then you get to see the real me. Hopefully I'll hear from you. We can chat, text, or potentially talk about just about anything..
