Feeling really lonely making friends in your 50s

[InAFunk100]

I feel so lonely. I have a few friends. Dh has been out this weekend. He's out mountain biking now...

I just don't know hoe to strat finding people to do stuff with. I'm sitting in the house just feeling lonely.

Join a WI. Your nearest might not be the one for you as they are all different. With mine you can be out at least once a week and we are women between 20s - 70s

This is totally up to you. Friends will not start knocking at your door.

I totally under, I found myself in the same situation when I moved to marry my husband in my late 40’s. I joined a group of like minded individuals, we had a common interest.

I do remember saying there should be a dating style app for people to make friends!

Find a group that has a shared interest, be that open water swimming, knitting, book club or a weight loss group. Be friendly, chat to people. But don’t expect someone to knock on your door and ask you to be their friend.

Go mountain biking as well? it is good fun and loads of other ladies do it.
