Just being nice or nosy or something else?

I'm fairly recently single (12 months) after a 30 year marriage and completely clueless about dating, which seems to be completely different now, even if I could remember it!

I have a wide circle through a hobby. Some of the married people I thought were good friends have practically disappeared, but I've become closer to the singletons.

I've had Covid this week, along with 4 women from this group who I was out with at the weekend. I've been quite ill actually despite 3 vaccinations and having had it before

Anyway three single men have been in touch to ask how I am. (And a couple of women, but only the ones who are also ill). My first thought was doesn't bad new travel quickly, but then I thought, they must have been talking to someone about me and then they've bothered to send messages. None of them are people I'm regularly in touch with.

They have previously only been friendly, in some cases only polite, not quite friendly, nothing more, but are they circling or just being nice. Or nosy, is Covid still a bit of exciting gossip?

I accept I'm overthinking, but I've been home alone all week and am starting to feel a bit better 😆

Being nice I think? I messaged a friend I don’t see or message often who had covid a couple of weeks ago, and she was grateful as she needed groceries dropping off.

Blimey, just had another one. I've never been so popular 😆

So four single men have been in touch with you to ask how you are? Hmm.

What is the club and do they have space for new people? (Asking for a friend)

Could be using it as an excuse to contact you, to see how receptive you are 😉
I also would like to join your club 🤣

Haha. They don't even all belong to my club. Two of them are from a rival club 😆

It's running, which I have to say has been a superb social thing for me for many years. I'm not really very good in social situations, but I've made some good friends through running and know loads of people I wouldn't otherwise. Useful when you need a plumber or mechanic too 😆
