Default Is TV fun for singles?

I am a 67 year old male visiting TV in late September to consider relocating there. I love to hit the gym, socialize, fish, dance, read and I have been known to play a little golf.

Does anyone have any specific recommendations for me?

Are there any active singles clubs or???

Bob

Default Lots of singles here to hang out with.

All of the singles I know in TV look like they are having a great time. They are always out and about and belong to a number of groups that I belong to. In fact they could be happier than the couples.

I know that you won't feel alone or lonely...just send a signal when you are to arrive and someone will schedule a meet and greet for you....but be careful, two of my friends who met under the clock married each other a couple of months ago. They look really happy.

This is a place for everyone. I know I never think of a person as a half a couple or a single. Everyone I have met is friendly to all. I feel sure you will think this place is Paradise just like all of the rest of us do.

I think you should stay away from TV. Unless you want to be swamped with attention. If you like to socialize and dance, TV is the place for you.

The Singles Groups will welcome you with open arms. Just post here when you're arriving, and prepare to have a wonderful time!

Default I appreciate the comments

both you ladies have made. All I have heard so far is good news to me.

What are the names of the organized singles groups? How can I contact people in them to see if anything is going on while I am in TV?

Is there any special place where single people tend to hang out?

Send a PM to KathieI .. a member of TOTV. She is a great gal and will give you tons of information.

Try these two links as they will give you an idea of the activities going on in TV for the following week. They come out on Thursday in the local newspaper, The Villages Daily Sun, and are posted on line within a day or two. Check it every week as it changes.

http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/c...ns/recnews.pdf

http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/c...s/actsched.pdf

I noticed that the second link may have been scanned incorrectly as it is a little hard to read.

Default Thank you

one and all for your tips and guidance. As my visiting time approaches I will check things out further. TV appears to be such an incredible place. I hope my expectations are not too high but I can hardly wait to get there!

Default you will love it here....

hi all singles wondering if there is life for you here....YES! kathiei is a great contact, as well as many of the singles you have seen posting on this site who live here already....there are two huge singles clubs, and many other informal groups of friends who are always welcoming to newcomers....we often take advantage of the lovely patios of various country clubs which offer music during the week, as well as of course the squares and numerous karaoke venues...we look forward to meeting you.

Thanks for the recommendation, Bare and Cha x 3 .... I wish there was a salary to go with the Sr. Social Director position, LOL.
Yes, Manabout, Just let us know when you get here by PM or post, and we'll let you know the happenings at the time. You will have a great time, we have a large group of singles who meet to dance, go to the movies, have dinner and have lots of fun. Can't wait to meet you. I promise you will love it here.

Default ETA, etc

Hi KathieI,

Thank you for volunteering to introduce me to what is available for singles at TV. I expect to arrive the afternoon of 9/25 and be around until 9/30.

Since it will be my very first visit I hope to get an initial overall impression of what TV is all about but since I am single I want to be sure TV has some single residents, welcomes singles and would offer a comfortable living environment for me. Most of all, I want to live among active, positive and upbeat people who enjoy life!

Thank you too, Chachacha. It appears some singles are indeed alive and well, enjoying themselves in TV. Again, I look forward to my visit and meeting any of you who may wish to meet me. I put a photo up and posted some basics about myself.

I'll be coming to TV this weekend. Any suggestions for a single lady as to dancing, sight seeing, shopping, etc? All suggestions are welcome!

Hi Awe, Is this your first trip? We would love to get together with you to show you around. We'll be at RJ Gators on Saturday night for karaoke. You're welcome to join us. It doesn't start until 9:00pm after the square closes, but look for us on the dance floor. I'll pm you my phone number so we can try to connect. Have a safe trip to TV.... Kathie
