Dear Cloud:

My recommendation is not that you find a “rebound”- that would be unfair for the rebound. No.

Better this: avail yourself for a friendship with a local woman, one available to see you in-person. Share with her your feelings, including about your friend. Keep it friendly and keep it honest. Maybe feelings will develop.( She will have to be willing and able  to have a friendship and open to have it possibly evolve, over time.
