I met my man at the skating rink, about 43 years ago. It was on a night that they had dancing there. it was love at first sight.
It would be hard for me to be on the 'dating scene' again. Things are just not what there were way back when I dated in the 60's. I'd hate it now I think.
that doesn't help answer your question, but I have a hard enough time finding female friends.
Good luck
