We talk to you here, online, unguy. Not the same but maybe you could take an online college course in a subject you faintly have an interest in? I've been wandering around online college since around 2001, getting degrees, "meeting" people online and even getting to meet many in person. Having an online relationship can help when meeting people offline, I have found. It's still scary meeting the people in person but over the years I have "practiced" online and I'm brave so I have learned to take more chances over the years and give up on my looks, just accept it will be okay, that there's more here than just my looks.

Find an interest, unguy, and claim it? It's sad and even depressing but also freeing when our parents die. We're our own people now for the next 20-40 years. Everyone has likes and dislikes, work toward some of the likes. Congratulations on having taken yourself off on "vacation", I'm sorry it was so lonely for you. What would you have done differently if you had been able to plan/execute the vacation for you? For example, some of the group tours I've been on had a beginning group dinner party so we could all get to know one another a little. Maybe where you vacationed would have been different if it were a little more informal? What would you have changed? Have you ever belonged to a group like Toastmasters? Tried karaoke? The bar my husband and I go to in Florida has karaoke nights but the people are our age and there for the singing (and eating) not necessarily for drinking, a lot of older people can no longer drink.
