Anyway...my wife and I are both by nature rather reclusive. (The word 'shy' probably even applies...heheh.) So while we're staying busy, making personal friends to socialize with does not come easily for us. Don't get me wrong. We're doing fine and we both have activities...dance troupe and golf (beginner) for my wife, softball, bowling, golf for me (with a hiatus due to surgery of course). We take some line-dancing classes and frequent the squares pretty regularly. We have some casual friends as a result. We're staying pretty busy and enjoying life in TV. So what's my question? Well...

Most of our close friendships from our pre-retirement life came from work. Retirement is...obviously...heheheh... a whole new world! Do you have any advice for TV newcomers who aren't as naturally adept at developing social friendships as most of you appear to be in this thread. Sounds like it comes very easily to most of you folks! I'm not even sure of specifics I'm asking about...activities, clubs, groups, whatever. I'm just soliciting advice from the experts!!

Just talk to anyone, and everyone. We don't bite.
