So, I have a very dear friend who is single and lonely. She's one of Nature's really lovely people, she's had a really hard year (unemployment, illness in the family, etc), but determined that next year will be better.
We met at university, where she was a mature student and I was your bog-standard immature student. She has asked in the past if I know anyone I could set her up with, but I no longer live in the UK and even when I did, she was so much older than all of my friends that I didn't know any candidates. It's only because she's asked about being set up and has in the past used Soulmates that I'm posting this - please don't think I'm just a bossy cow who thinks I have any sort of right to barge in and take over her life.
She would probably kill me if she knew I was doing this (but after a minute would calm down, laugh and hope I got a result), but I've been watching "Arrange Me A Marriage" and decided it's time for the people around her to take the job in hand! Does anyone know any single London/Home Counties-based lesbians in their forties or fifties who might be interested in an email or two leading to the possibility of a date if they hit it off?
My friend is your stereotypical London Guardian-reading, arts-loving lesbian. She's a lawyer, loves good conversation above all else, very well travelled (has family all over the world, mostly in India and the US), a dervish of energy, childless (but adores children), generous to the point of insanity and in her early fifties. She doesn't have a car, so ideally your equally lovely single friend would live within easy reach of London.
I spoke to her the other day and things are looking up on the job front, so I think she would be in a receptive frame of mind if I said "oh a friend of mine has a friend....."
Thanks everyone!
