I joined a widow/widowers group but most of them are 20 years older than I am.  They have dances, but do they play 80s music?  I was told probably not.  I just don't fit in anywhere.  I do have friends who are in their 70s and 80s, but for dating, I'd like them to be in their 50s or 60s.  I do NOT want to meet anyone online here or anything, just looking for suggestions.

 

My sister warned me against online dating.  She said just meet people naturally.  I go to church, but the men are married or too old.  Church is where I met my late husband 32 years ago.  But he was truly special.  Where do you go to meet people who are in their 50s?

    Never mind.  I guess I am just meant to be alone for another 30 years. I hate my life.

    Don't give up Carolyn, good things usually happen when you least expect them too.

    I was having a bad day.  Also, I need to laugh more.  My husband always made me laugh.  Thanks EricFalk for the kind words.

    I understand my lady. I had to find myself and what I really enjoy and love besides my family. And started looking for the things I wanted to do and places I wanted to see. And one thing I really like is comedy shows and I love places were they play jazz music. And there be folks of all different ages and backgrounds that is how I started meeting people. Not trying to bore you just saying stay encouraged.

    I like comedy shows too.  I used to go with my husband often.

    Don't give up.   You find what you need when you need it.   I know,  i found someone in an unlikely place and i was not looking.   Hang in there.
