I’m also like you comfortable in my community, where I can express myself in my own language (not English). You did forget one thing Ken, many people tend to forget their new learn language, when they get older.

I don't mind online dating at all, that's the most common way to find a match today. I think we tend to reject people too easy, when we're online.

Are you sure he isn't married? It happened to me once, I did know his first and last name and made some search and found out he was not only married, but also 14 years older than me!

There are many red flags here, try to forget him and move on. I wish you allthe best, but be careful.
