Don't give up. When we first moved in I was 55, hubby 57. We were so thrilled to be here we joined every club. The very first club we walked in, I'll never forget. It was the NY club and I couldn't wait to meet everyone, see where they were from etc.. Hubby had stopped at a table to talk to a fellow he knew. I proceeded to walk up to a table of about 4 couples, introduced myself, (l am very friendly) and they sat there staring at me like I had two heads. I thought hmmm not to friendly so grabbed hubby and moved on to table no 2. Well we had a blast, ended up sitting with them and are still friends. Go to clubs of interest to you, keep hitting pools, and you will find friendly people. I make it a point that whenever we are out at club or dance if I see a couple sitting alone go always invite them to join us! No one should ever sit alone in the villages!
