I moved to an area I had never been to before when I was newly single after 30 years. I needed to build a new life for myself. It was the best decision I have ever made. I tried a number of clubs and organisations and stuck with 3 of them. I joined MeetUps.com who have a social group for every hobby interest of all age groups from cinema to walking, reading, lunching, tai chi, and so very many more. It's nothing to do with dating but making like minded friends. They are a world wide organisation. I met some really lovely people. Also became involved in a little voluntary work. There are so many organisations needing volunteers. It's great fun and very rewarding. Good luck, keep positive and be open to new experiences.
