Clouds, depressed people definitely can find love. I understand and can relate to your apprehension - but I think that if your minister is recommending this minister, then he must be a good guy. One who wants what you want, and agrees to take things slow and abstain from sex until marriage. I think that it's worth giving a shot - meeting this minister and getting to know him. The age difference is insignificant, and you have a real possibility of meeting someone you really connect with. I hope you take a leap of faith and give it a shot
