Any suggestions?
I would like a new partner
I exercise with meetup groups
Considering being a volunteer if I can find the right atmosphere
I enjoy arts
I'm in the same boat as I just retired in April.
People think that once you retire your problems will be over, when in fact it opens up a whole new set of problems.
It's the empty time that previously work took up. I like to workout, indoor rock climb but doing it everyday doesn't give me enough time to recover physically. To help kill some of that time having a part job helped. Something interesting and new that I didn't do before. Sure volunteering could work, but so could starting a business.
Group activities area a great way of learning new things and meeting new people. I went on face book and looked through my local cities groups. They have swing dancing groups, sewing, hiking, climbing, cooking and loads of others. Recently I tried swing dancing. Had a great time and there were single women there.
I think if you do things through Facebook groups it will get you out and about and naturally you will meet people/women in person which is way more effective than online.
I've also started reading books from library, learning Spanish, planning my upcoming 6 month tour of Thailand and Philippines.
I am no longer tied down and can explore whatever I want. Be an adventure if you want. Go to somewhere new everyday.
Your life has the potential to be limitless....
