Best activities for meeting new people

[RelationsAkin]

I'm late 40s and after coming out of a l/t relationship last year I want to start developing something of a social life. I'm looking to meet new people of both sexes, rather than find someone to date.

I don't have any particualr hobbies and interests but would probably have a go at most things.

Any ideas?

My passion has always been music and drama. Instant social life if you get in a drama group or some kind of choir. Musicians like a few beers too. Can you sing? :)

Go to park run. It's free, very friendly and you'll get fit. There must be something you've always wanted to do though? I would start with what interests you and meeting people will follow.

Do you work just now? Are people at your work a potential source?

dogging. joke.

evening class; accepting any invites that come your way. ive also met loads of decent people walking the dog- get one or borrow one if your lifestyle and temperament allow

small talk is great, much underrated. think about your opinions and feelings and don't be afraid to express them. unless they're vile of course.

Ukulele! Quite easy to learn the basics and there's likely to be a local group you can join. Most groups play and sing together. Attracts people of all ages and lots who've done no music before.

Save the planet! Or your corner of the planet...I don't know where you live but where I am there's lots of groups who look after the park, do stuff to improve the local area, run festivals - all ages and from all walks of life. I second Cog's music and drama - learning and performing, art and craft groups, check Facebook. I wish I was retired so I had time to do it all (and I'm speaking as someone who was virtually a recluse a few years ago). And of course there's there's feminist groups...okay that's mainly women, but I have met a few men through new women friends. Go for it

Amateur dramatics is great for meeting people. Some kind of classes. Volunteering.
