angel, I'm a single, have joined no singles clubs and am relatively busy with friends, neighbors, TOTVers. It really is more a matter of finding your interests and going from there.

There is no question that couples out number singles but they don't usually exclude the singles. I've gone to dinner with 1-4 couples, been the only single person in the group and was very much included. I play bridge and there is no problem being a single there, just find a partner and away we go. There's lots of line dancing in the squares, so dancing is not a problem. Even if you don't line dance, you can go to the dance floor alone, with a member of the opposite sex or member of the same sex. No one cares. There are many activities where couples go their separate ways -- the male might go play golf, the woman mah-jong. The one place that being single does seem to be a true negative is in peoples' homes. Couples seem to congregate together for dinner and a night of cards, etc. So, it pays to find singles with your interests.

Don't worry, being single doesn't exclude you.
