That place sounds awful. I'm not surprised it's in the Northern section of the villages.

Are there any places like that further south? I want to be sure I don't accidentally end up in one of them on my next visit.

SITV is a very active group of sinles who play pickleball/bocce ball/water volleyball, golf, have socials, pop-up happy hours, etc. This not a dating site, just singles enjoying The Villages. It's very well organized and a great website with a calendar that shows the multiple activities. Participate in as few or many as you like. Only single residents can belong. Check it out!!

Hi -
I’m literally days/weeks from purchasing in TV (The village of Richmond - Fingers crossed, as this village location is extremely popular with people seeking new builds). I’m a single 61 year old male, that will be all-about pickleball/bocce ball/water volleyball, and to a lesser-extent golf. I love having a late afternoon glass of wine at either Harvest or Blue Fin, grabbing a bite there, and then moving onto Brownwood square for entertainment. I’m pretty social, and have found it easy to meet people while eating at the bar, at the squares, having coffee, at the pools and rec centers, etc. I did two lifestyle visits this summer, and have been doing homework on TV daily for about five years, so I feel I have a real good grasp of TV. I’ll be coming back out for a few weeks in a few days. Here is my question — How can I quickly get paired up with a partner or team to engage in the activities I listed? Do I just contact the various clubs, and do they pair me up? I know I’ll eventually meet people who share my interests, but until I do, how do I “hit the ground running” and engage in these activities? Thanks for your replies, and so looking forward to becoming a TV resident and member of the community very soon!😀

For the new to TV. I'm sure you have been warned already, but beware of all the door knockers/solicitors offering services, especially when they offer special price if you sign-up now. Also, beware of the Welcome wagon gimmick. It isn't a real thing, just solicitation/advertising trick to get inside.
Good luck and welcome to TV.

What of you're married, but identify as single? Asking for a friend. 😄
Just a joke. Don't get angry.

You are either very lucky or just never noticed them. Been her 9 years and were turning them away regularly. Slowed down as time went on, but we still have at least one a month or so. Even had a few that would come back once or twice just in case we changed our minds.

Supposedly “illegal” in TV for door to door solicitors. It’s all about enforcement…who to call and by the time they show where is this person?

A friend who runs a singles group told me that when one moves to TV and gets a village id, at that point they ask you your marital status. This somehow goes on your record and the leaders of the singles groups know your status. So what your suggesting can't happen.

I'm not sure where this info is kept but I notice that on our village id there is a U/L number. My wife and I have an "M" in the number. Could a single person here check to see if there's is an "S" on theirs? Thanks.
