I am very sorry for you. I hope you are alright. I can't imagine a loss like that. Don't jump into anything too fast. Give yourself a time to adjust.

[manaboutown]

Best of luck to you. It is likely quite difficult for you right now. Been there. Done that.

A musician And a golfer?

I bet the ladies can't wait to get a piece of that! ;)



P.S. I'm also a golfer, but I'm not a musician... I play guitar... :1rotfl:

But seriously, hope things work out well for you!

From the comments I have read you.lost your espouse. Very sorry and my condolences to you. I hope you find love and happiness.

[paulat585]

Dr. Boogie, Condolences for your loss. There is a thriving singles scene here in The Villages. Most of it is very laid back and non-threatening. To get an idea of what's available, you can go to Facebook and search for the group Single in The Villages.

Wow! That’s me to a ‘T’! :1rotfl:

[rustyp]

Before this goes too far what assumptions are being made about "a loss" ? I'm sympatric to any kind of loss but why does my gut tell me this is heading somewhere it was not intended ?

[Northwoods]

There are a number of singles clubs/Facebook sites. It's one way to meet people.

Be careful, THE GOLD DIGGERS are good at their game! Secure your finances ... always keep your financial situation mysterious to future prospects! Casseroles are overrated, a thick steak and a baked potato can seal the deal...can you drive at night?

I found computer dating disappointing. Many "fakes" out there. Some are on it just for fun.
Other than computer dating, I found most women to be sincere, but yes, there are some "gold diggers", so one must be careful.
Take your time, yes, but do not be afraid of "jumping in", if it seems the right match comes along. We are not getting any younger.
You are welcome to PM me for more of my experiences.
Good Luck!

Did he say his spouse passed? I didn't read that.

[mydavid]

I am very sorry for you. I hope you are alright. I can't imagine a loss like that. Don't jump into anything too fast. Give yourself a time to adjust. I'm not sure he is saying his spouse passed, or if it she was his wife, maybe she just left.

[lwmilo]

Have similar feeling...Not clear on loss. I hope I'm wrong and apologize up front.

The Villages is packed with single people. I also saw nowhere stating this was a “loss”. SO, join some clubs. I wouldnt look for dating options on here.

Wasn't me ! But there it is in black and white or should I say red.

Your welcome to all my x's. Good luck!

Just to clear up the confusion, I am recently divorced.

Although I have been down the road of having a wife pass away from cancer.

I was told by my grandmother that there are some things in life worse than death.

I have observed a lot of things in my lifetime and the breaking apart of a deep love is an awful thing. I have watched one of my children divorce. We all grieved for a long time and in some ways are still grieving. That is MY opinion. I am sure others will not agree.

I hope that the O.P. will find comfort in a new relationship. He is a very nice man. I just caution him to take care of his sadness first.

Dr. Winston O. Boogie is the leader of Beatlemaniacs and can play every single Beatles song. He is also a fountain of Beatles trivia and a great guy. He leads a UK Beatles tour most summers, and people I know who went had a great time. Go hear the band and you will have a be smiling all day. (Friday at 10 am at Odell Rec Center, 2260 Odell Circle.) You can sing along. You can be a groupie! Go up and ask for his autograph after the show and ask if you can buy him a drink.

(I became single last week after eight years, Winston. She left me because her horse came first and she wanted to spend the next eight months training in New Jersey, and next winter rent a house in Ocala, while I want to stay in The Villages and play music. I loved playing with Beatlemaniacs, but I’m more needed on mandolin.)

[Nick B]

A musician needs help finding girls? How times have changed.

Been planning to check that out. In fact, I'm going this morning...:a040:

Agree....there was no mention of death or grieving....so sounds like she moved on. Maybe she needed someone who was not always off doing "his" thing.
This playground could ruin many weak relationships. There needs to be you time, me time but equally important us time.
I witnessed a very sad exchange at SS the other night. Guy and his wife walk in, he wanted to dance-she didn't, so he gets up and line dances all night. The odd part is he was having as miserable of a time as she was. He's obviously a very beginner- so he has that, and he never smiled or acted like it was fun ( but none of the dancers do)....so why, why spend the evening with both of you so miserable? She didn't move here to watch him dance in a circle like a clown, and he didn't come to have her watch him and be miserable.
So yes, this wonderland of "fun" can certainly put a strain on a relationship.

Sorry to hear that you are single now. We knew you & your wife when you 2 shot billiards. So if any of you ladies out there that would like to meet a super nice guy don’t let this guy slip away!

Those are a lot of assumptions, both about the OP and the couple at the square.

Never saw a runner smiling either, but they're hooked on the sport. Don't confuse concentration with feeling miserable.

Sounds like he has adjusted and ready to move on with his life.

PM for more details.I find it strange for him to say he "became single" and people assume his spouse died. I think it's more along the line of his girlfriend left him. If, indeed, his spouse did die, then looking to hook up a few weeks afterwards, is disrespectful

Why is it anyone’s biz? Boogie is newly single. If his loss is of a spouse, my condolences.

[manaboutown]

It has been kind of tough to meet potential dating partners since the pandemic started but things are opening up.

May there be a supermodel in your future who loves to cook gourmet meals, clean house, do your laundry and loves sex. Oh well, a guy can dream...

[rustyp]

I agree with you. OK I'll try this for the last time. It was not me that sent this thread in the "loss" direction. Actually if you read the sequence of posts you will realize I was trying to stop it as the train was in the process of derailing. It was post number 2 that opened up the "loss". Look at post 21 and see if it looks like a clean up in aisle five was being attempted.

[Velvet]

My guess is, whenever you become single and you look for a new interest, it sounds like you lost something. If nothing else it is a change. Hopefully it will be for the better.

[Villageswimmer]

Actually, it’s no one’s business. It was the OP who posted it. Why does anyone post personal information on a message board? :ohdear:

The OP posted it, but he asked for private messages.

[tvbound]

Agreed. I've seen a couple of my buddies, that seemed to be in a hurry to jump back into a relationship after a divorce without taking the time to grieve and spending the time to get to really know themselves (after all, there's almost always some culpability from both sides). One friend even had a date tell him, after hearing about his recent divorce, that he gave off a bit of a "desperation" vibe. She said this to help him, not to be mean and instead of getting mad, he took it to heart and did what she suggested. He says it was some of the best advice he had ever received.

[Luv2Bretired]

Just after my divorce I tried to date a woman I had known for years. She told me to wait a while which I did. After a year or more we dated and it was great!

[Spalumbos62]

No, I was close enough to get wind to what was happening.
On a lighter note....I understand people are trying to memorize the steps....but, come on....its dancing...its still suppose to be fun.

OP,
the support your receiving from the folks on this site is really a true reflection of the quality of our neighbors!

As a suggestion from many of the folks I know that have experienced what your going through,... ensure your financial items are in order, going from one household to two plus split of $ at retirement with little chance of catch up can be catastrophic, wish you the best

Thank you to everyone that responded. I have met a lovely woman and we have been spending a lot of time together. I am a one woman kind of guy so my search has now ended. Hopefully, I'll never have to search again.

Don't take the "90 day fiance" route of finding a mail-order bride that is 40 years younger than you... they're only trouble and looking for a green-card.
