Making new friends, or at least acquaintances is a snap for some folks and difficult for others. If a person has moved a few times during their lives and made friends at their new locations it should be easy to do so in The Villages. If a person is quiet and shy making new friends can be difficult.

On my last visit I made a new friend before I even got out of my rental car. It was 10:00 pm. A guy was walking his dog and I was trying to find my rental house using my GPS. He noticed me and came over, said "Welcome to The Villages" and pointed out the house. We had quite a conversation until the property manager showed up and let me in. I got to know him over the time I spent there. Nice guy!
