What I love about the villages is just how approachable people are. Just in this month or so of living here I’ve had some really insightful conversations with others and plenty of unique experiences.
I can’t think of a better place to live in the world and I’m very happy to be here. I’m super grateful that my family asked me to come live down here. I don’t see Ohio being nearly as meaningful.
One thing I wanted to inquire about or see if anyone had any suggestions when it comes to dating. I was talking to my coworker who is my age and he has a wife in their late 40’s, same with another friend back in Ohio who is dating someone in their 50s.
I wanted to see what avenues exist for me to meet someone older, I don’t know if I went to singles groups whether that would be heavily frowned upon. I could try hanging out at bars, but I’m not sure if that would be the right demographic for potential romantic relationships.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.

Just head on over to Facebook to one of The Villages Groups. Post that you're an under 40 single male. You'll need a machine to give out numbers, like at the Deli at Publix.
I'd recommend the "Speed Dating" methodology. 10 minute dates, 4/hour ... no more than 8 hours a day & 6 days a week (you'll need your rest). After a month or so of that, narrow it down to your Top 25 or so and then do an hour date, with each of them.
Once you narrow things down to 10-15, make a date for dinner and require them to bring a Bank Statement.
You'll be all set.
