Chachacha, I have no idea why anyone would say they couldn't understand your post! I am brand new to this site and a new homeowner but not yet resident and what I see in you is the epitome of the spirit of The Villages! Your efforts are as welcoming as your smile and you have already been a big help to me. And of course you are a celebrity - the Royal Hostess of TV and we are all better for it!

One advantage to being single with your own house in TV?

Loads of closet space!!

ChaX3 is a TV star and so very nice and welcoming to all newcomers. She was the first person I met when I first visited there and she went out of her way to introduce me to folks. I am moving to TV in Feb. and I often say to myself "Thank God Cha is there. At least I know someone."

Are there any single snowbirds?

I am following Joe's (2BNTV) thread about not being able to bring off campus dates to events. Anybody else experiencing that difficulty?

Since I don't "date" because I love my single life, I haven't had this problem. Also, where I usually go for entertainment, you don't need a Village card to get in. Most of my entertainment is at restaurants that have music and dancing and its only at rec centers where you need a village card. But I want to make another point about single life here, I was really concerned this year that the holidays were going to be upsetting for me being a single person amongst all my married friends. Well, it wasn't at all. I went to parties galore and never felt like a fifth wheel, always welcomed by my friends and never felt "left out". That is the best part of living here, you can do what you want, when you want and with whom you want. Its just the best.

My first love is my greatest love and will be my last love. so if fate deals me a hard blow I have already let it be known to my wife and kids that I would never marry again.

My daughter is single lives in Westchester County and has many friends both single and married and many places to go.

My brother was single for many years and traveled the world, partied hardy nightly, remarried and enjoys a very social life.

What I am saying is you can be almost anywhere and enjoy an active life its your personal choice.

The Villages has many and varied interests and attractions to keep us all entertained . The majority of people here are fun loving and approachable and indeed we are all blessed

we have discussed this issue many times, and obviously people who are not dating are not affected by it at all....but singles who want to enjoy their amenites with the person they are dating are often denied this simple joy. true, there are many places, fortunately, where anyone can participate, such as country clubs and restaurants and movie theatres...but if you want to play cards or see a play at Lake Miona or attend a club meeting or dance, your dates are limited to villagers or someone who lives more than fifty miles away, which is not likely. the simplest solution is a companion pass to be held by the single resident and used for their dates only when accompanied by them.
personally i am sick of talking about this but would very much appreciate anyone with the patience to pursue the issue lighting the fire under the singles community.

Yes, TV is a great place to be a "senior" single. One of my friends (age 60) just said yesterday that outside of TV, she feels "old" but in TV, she feels "young"!

My sister and I just bought a house together. We are, at this stage in our lives, single. If I was home in Jersey alone I would be staying in the house trying to keep warm. I look forward to getting involved and meeting lots of new people, especially those who are single and very young minded. I also know that I will feel comfortable doing things on my own here. Just remember, "Don't look back, you're not going in that direction". Lorraine

There is indeed a problem for singles who may meet a "local"non-villager who cannot attend social and club event with them. Luckily my BF is a Villager still, this is an unfair policy for a single here. We should be able to get one pass for a significant other regardless of the county in which they live.
