Am I too old to start life over? I just moved, got a new job, I'm 32 years old. Where can I meet friends?

I'm single, and most my age are married and starting a family. I have to make all new friends because I'm living in a different state and have started a new job. The job is great, but now I'm lonely. I want to be able to meet other people/singles like myself who (but not partiers). Where can I do this at my age? (32 years old) That number sounds old to me but I look at feel 24 years old.

You can find some decent men doing online dating. Try match.com Also, if you are into sports, you can join sports recreational leagues. Even online. Check out the cooperative sports leagues in your area. Join a health club or if you're religious you can even meet people at church. Just capitalize on whatever hobbies you have (even if it is knitting) and you're bound to find people who share the same hobbies. If you search online, you may find clubs of groups that do those hobbies is basically what I'm saying. :)





Good luck!
Reply:Too old at 32?! No way are you too old. I wish I was 32 again - sigh... I'm 44 and trying to start again (now that's way tougher, believe me).





It's all about activities. It's time to start getting into new activities you never even dreamed of doing before. Go outside your comfort zone... ie somewhere other than bars and Starbucks (sorry no offense intended). Go horse riding, ice skating, help at an animal refuge, become involved in an amateur dramatic club/society, or simply do something outrageous which will make you famous or rich (guaranteed way if you're pretty - take your clothes off in an aeroplane at 30,000 feet and walk up and down the aisle. You'll be arrested on landing and get straight onto all the talk shows within 24 hours. Don't believe me? try it).





So... think sideways, do some interesting things, and you can't fail to meet some interesting people.





Good luck :)

Reply:32 is not old.. and you are never too old to start over.. believe me ..I did it a 40.. upped and moved from Canada to Europe.. I didn't even speak the language, but 7 years on, I am still here.
Reply:32 is not old I started over at 48 it was hard but by doing activities with other people I met new friends. Most churchs have single's groups that have dances and parties. Some towns have clubs like the newcomers where you can meet other people your age that live close by. Just go out an explore the available things to do. But 32 is not to old to start over. Good luck.
Reply:A great way to meet people is through the internet. I know it sounds risky, but I met my boyfriend through Lavalife. Most of my friends are married as well, so I know how you feel. The internet was the last place I thought I would ever resort to meeting people. But I'm not a partier and am not into the bar scene. At this stage of the game I suspect you are apt at judging new characters so it shouldn't be difficult weeding out the contenders. Once you try, it's actually quite fun.





As for meeting friends - do you have any hobbies? Maybe you could try a Yoga class, or join a local gym to play squash or tennis. There is also an organization called Toastmasters, where people get together to give speeches. It's very relaxed and there is no pressure to speak. I found it to be a very supportive atmosphere.





There is another online site called Meetup.com that has groups meeting about every topic under the sun. From car enthusiasts to Scrabble players.





Whatever you do, keep in mind that you're networking and you may meet a friend through an unlikely introduction. Once people get to know you they'll want to introduce you to more people. Good luck and have fun!

Reply:Wow! You're very young. Too young to be feeling this way. I met my current wife when I was 51 and married her a year later. Enough about me. You need to get out and meet people. Make yourself outgoing. Just talk to people. Be friendly. Try an online dating service like match.com There are lots of sincere people just waiting to meet you. You've got to answer the door when they knock.
Reply:That's always a tough one isn't it? Moving to a new place and not knowing a soul... Online may be the best place to start...there are numerous networking, discussion forum, and dating sites (believe it or not) where you can select from millions of people who are not looking for romance (men and women) and who are in the exact situation you are finding yourself in. Myspace, craigslist, are some examples, there are tons more. What are your interests? Join a club or civic organization to expand your circle. You can always meet people at these two places that are typically in our age group (I'm in my 30's as well) and are single and that have moved past the partying part of their life. Take up a new class: painting, creative writing, etc. There any number of ways to meet new people in a new area...the posibilities are only limited by your imagination and comfort zone.
