To go out and do something...

I know everyone has had someone tell them " you need to get out there and meet people". The funny thing about this is that when I was married, I never really went out, and all of my friends were single and could not understand why I didn't want to go out all of the time. Now all of my friends are married, and I want to go out from time to time, and no one is availiable to go out with me. Oh yeah when you are at work and the twenty somethings invite you out. I'm sorry but I don't want to be a chaperone or go hang out in a bar full of college kids(No Offense) I've gone to movies, dinner, bookstores, coffeeshops, libraries, and even sports events by myself. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I get where you are coming from...I have a couple of single & divorced friends, but I still like to be home and I often force myself out...

I looked into the Meetup.com. It looks good though I haven't taken advantage of it yet.

I'm glad you asked that question! I am not a "go out to the bars" kind of person. I went (begrudgingly) last Saturday night and immediately recalled why I never liked bars in the first place. I, too, go to bookstores and coffee houses... summer is better when you can hike and go to parks, farmer's market... outdoors (I live in Iowa so the "outdoors" ends from October to April). Anyone have any more sugguestions for us. I could happilly stay at home and busy myself...but I know I need to "get out there" :)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
