What I do think you need to do it to stay away from men and bar scenes/partying. But it doesn’t mean you must sit around alone

divine1966, thank you.
What I meant was I need to be by myself in the romance department, not the friends department.
But friendship-wise, I need new friends, and that's difficult to accomplish. I do make friends easily, so I think it's very possible to establish new friendships, but I worry because I am 50 years old and everyone seems settled in their lives with the friends they already have. I have tried to reach out to several women acquaintances over the last year to establish more of a friendship, but it hasn't worked out too well so far. Of course, it's been covid all year too, so that makes it even harder.
This is why I know I need to join some outdoor groups and meet people other than in my music scene. The music and bar scene has grown old for me, though I still want to enjoy live music since it's my greatest passion. I just need to be aware that a lot of people who run in this crowd are not the kinds of people I want to invest time in.
