Hmmm...

I don't belong to any clubs and I stay away from single people. Actually, I stay away from everyone. LOL I spend most of my time with a dog and turtle. Neither will ever hurt my feelings, expect too much of me or be disappointed that I didn't live up to some pre-defined expectation.

I used meetup.com to get connected to a art group and a walking group. Both are nice yet the connections are rather lose.

Due to my circumstances I belong to a group, which helps me majorly to overcome the affects of a marriage with a malign narcissist. These ladies and gents are terrific and I go out with them outside the group too.

I joined germanicans.com which is a nation-wide group for Germans in America. Up to now I it has not clicked...

DC offers a lot of museums and I am very happy about it. I missed the Smithsonian folk festival though because of the heat....

I'm more like Red. I don't hang out with other singles much. It's not particularly intentional, though. My besties are all married and I love to hang around them and their kiddos. Gives me an opportunity to be part of a family, too. Very needed for me.

Well, I am not single, but my three closest friends are all single and have been single for most of the time I have known them. The marital status has not ever figured into our friendships at all. Two of them are the friends I have done the most with. Not including my husband. We go places and get together like shopping at a local Mennonite store, produce store and then going to lunch. Or thrift and antique store shopping. Or visiting places that sell sheep, rabbits or goats for fiber (one of the my friends is a spinner).


I do belong to a Mystery Book Club and ArtMuse Dog even goes with me ~ do a Yoga class ~ belong to Spiritual Group ~ used to go to Art group and Needle Guild ~ I spent most of my life married ~ so getting used to being single has taken time and finding out what I enjoy ~ basically small groups and individual one on one and ArtMuse is my best company ~ LOL

Good you have them ~ lost most of my 'married friends' ~ stopped inviting me so making my own life ~ my brother and his family help me enjoy 'family' ~ married most of life ~ so 'being single' is taking time ~ don't want to be a recluse but don't want to 'hang out' with people that are not a 'good fit' either ~ getting there ~ thanks for sharing with me ^_^

I know what I like, but I don't think I will ever get used to being single.
