Finding Love Again
I got a comment about how to meet new people. I think the first thing I would say is that just like something that you have lost and are looking for - if you search too hard then you cannot find it! For me, it is about putting yourself back in a social circle, enjoying the company and looking for friendship that may grow in the future. Some ideas that I have are
- Join a local interest club - walking, pottery, heritage, music
- Take a course - learning a language, computer skills, cookery - whatever you would like to learn.
- Hold a themed party or barbecue and ask friends, family
- Join on line groups that are for widows, widowers, bearevement
- Join a bereavement support club
- Start a sport - my mum at 76 took up crown green bowls!
- Join a volunteer group - bonus of helping others whilst meeting new people
- Arrange a holiday - one that is for singles with similar interests - I went on a walking holiday
The key is about being out there, learning to be YOU again, learning to enjoy life again without feeling guilty. I am a believer in givers gain - when you meet someone ask how you can help them, ask questions about them - people love to talk about themselves.
Anyone else got any ideas?

This is really true, If you’re constantly seeking for something, be it new friends, love or money, the more you are looking for it, the more you’ll feel harder to get.
Most of the time, we found what we’ve lost in the less expected manner.
Cheers
