Because The Villages is marketed at "the friendliest hometown", I think that some of us have unrealistic expectations. We hear about other people instantly fitting in, and going on cruises and out every night with their friends, and living in each other's pockets. So we are disappointed if we don't instantly make deep and lasting friendships. Some people are able to do that, but for a lot of residents, it takes time and patience. And putting themselves out there.
