Sit at the bar
 

I’ve had great conversations and met some wonderful people at the bar. You don’t have to drink alcohol to sit at the bar, just eat a snack or meal with a soda. Exhange numbers and there you go.

I wrote to the email provided, last night, when I first read about the problem. 24 hours has gone by and I still haven’t got a response. Hmmm . . .

Yes'm.

And heaven forbid they meet someone over seventy.

Some folks really like us older birds.

Oh well.............jewels before swine...........sigh.

In fairness to the OP, they specified to 'private message' them. Whether they respond to your PM is their choice...

Haha soooo true ! I'm 67 and wish I had the energy of many 70s and 80 somethings in classes. I hope I can teach these old knees to move like they do!

Well, if they post 13 times in 10 years, then waiting 365 days seems more realistic than 24 hours :)

They’ll be in their 70’s before they make a connection that way…

Maybe they already did...
Again, maybe the prerequisite was listening and following direction....like to private message. Some post on here and don’t want to be part of a continuing public dialogue. We all like to engage....some don’t.

A bit strong, Ms Graciegirl, but suppose they only wanted to play with toddlers?

It’s now been 48 hours so I guess so.

As I heard it from my grandmother it was "casting pearls before swine" but no matter. When I read between the lines their post suggests they may be seeking encounters of the more intimate sort with other couples. Otherwise, as we all know, meeting people in TV is the least of our problems.

Michael,Are you the guy that had trouble meeting people when you first moved in and had Jerry and Linda help you meet people?

My wife is visiting her mother out of town but I am going to give her a call and let her know that we are young again! Been quite a while since anyone thought of us that way, including ourselves. Heck, I might go for a 5 mile run later! 😁

Yep, that’s me!

Didn’t take long to meet so many great, happy, positive friends here in The Villages - once I started joining clubs, becoming a regular at the Show Kitchen, attending events, getting involved in pickleball, shuffleboard, bowling, water volleyball, etc, it all became very easy to meet friends. I even started my own “sanctioned” social club at one of the rec centers.

Your AED organizers should start a social club in Richmond....under the header ‘how to win friends and influence people’! ( Sorry, inside joke! ) ;)
