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.
First off - since this is a 55+ community, the availability of "single" people will mostly be widows and widowers. Not exclusively, but mostly. People who have already grown up, had jobs, and contributed to society in some way other than living with their parents in a retirement community at age 27.

Second - consider that children under 19 aren't allowed to live here. So if you DO meet "the one" and decide to start your family, you'll need to do it somewhere else. Might want to start working on preparing for that.

You asked - that's my suggestion to you.
