It is always difficult for me the first time I attend a singles function where I literally know no one. When I went to meetings of two of the singles groups we all sat at long tables in groups of six or eight. I actually talked to only a handful of people and I was OK with that. I was totally new and wanted to look around and get a feel for what was happening - and I did.

Wherever one goes it takes time to meet and get to know people, but in The Villages it is much, much easier because so many people are in or have been in the same boat.

By the way, these meeting did not feel like any meat market to me and I have been to plenty of those!
