Hi Pango ~ I kinda disagree about the online thing. I think that's dangerous. People are seldom what they portray themselves to be, and you COULD end up with some woman looking for a "sugar-daddy." I think you should stay with the "real" people, and do what Sesame suggested. Start with baby steps, go to libraries, join book clubs, join a senior center (if you're old enough), find things you're interested in and pursue those things, go to concerts, etc. I'm sure you'll begin to meet people. And don't worry about what to talk about. It will come easier in time. Just smile and be friendly. Let the other person begin the conversation!

Best of luck and God bless! I wish you all the best. Hugs, Lee
