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.

You need to find and watch the old 1971 movie called “Harold and Maude.” Harold is in his 20s. Maude is 79. Harold falls in love with Maude. There are sex scenes. Music by Cat Stevens. Just so you know what you are getting into.
If you are 27 and female, there are hundreds or even thousands of single men here straight off the golf course hungry to meet you and take you out to nice meals and all that. If you are 27 and male, there are plenty of older women who would love a fling with you, but they tend to be harder to find and to have better sense than to imagine a long term relationship. In either case, go to City Fire around 9 and show yourself friendly and you will soon have lots of dating prospects. Welcome to The Villages. Just be polite and don’t be a criminal, heavy drinker, drug user, or con artist. If you are any of those, you won’t be welcome. In addition to dating, there are thousands of people who are just nice to talk with.
