I'm 41F. I was married but separated 8 years ago. I was still young but was very traumatized and never really wanted another relationship. Lately I've been feeling a little lonely and would like to meet some new people but I moved and don't have many friends here and the ones I have are younger and do younger people things (like going out at night. I'm too old for that lol). I wanted to meet some people my age, friends or dates, but almost everyone is married. I do cooking and French classes but again, only young people do that and I'm the "odd old lady". I think people past 40 don't really have hobbies or money to spend on them. I'm overweight so I can't really use apps, and to be honest don't really want. So how a single woman without kids (can't have it) meet people?! Or do I just give up?! lol

If you're at all interested in traveling, people of all age, travelers anywhere are the most open-minded welcoming people that I've ever met. It's so much easier to start a conversation while traveling.

Anywhere you go there will be expat communities eager to make friends and learn about you.

That's not a bad idea, I'll look into some groups from my area!
