Dear June:
Midlife, I was caught up with my job, marriage, caring for aging and then dying parents, etc. Then I turned 60, only to find myself single, without children or a family, and just plain lonely. For a while, I was looking to remarry, but found dating sites were not for me as I wanted more wholesome men. I turned my focus from dating to just finding friendships. It is difficult to just meet people, male or female, to develop friendships. My job isn’t really offering that avenue, nor my hobbies, nor do I have a church to draw from. I don’t drink, and I don’t dance, and I don’t have a pet. Any suggestions?
