Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I have just returned to this site again after an absence of a month or two and saw your message. I too live in Dorset (Bournemouth area) and would also love to find some new friendships after suddenly finding myself on my own after a decades long relationship. If you happen to see this message, you're welcome to get in touch. Good luck!ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I know you joined well over a month ago but if you see this message, then welcome. I only dip in and out occasionally and haven't got a clue how anything works Hi, I know that you joined well over a month ago but wanted to say welcome anyway. I live in the Bournemouth area and it is rare to see someone on this site from the South. I only dip in and out occasionally and still haven't got a clue how anything works but if you see this and want to get in touch, please do. I hope you find lots of new friends on the site.ViewDate:

New to this!Hello to you. I've just returned to the site after joining around a year ago so I still feel like a newbie here too. It might be helpful if you tell people a little more about your interests and which area you are from. I hope you find friends on here and just wish you luck.ViewDate:

Hellooo I'm a newbieHello and welcome. Although I joined this site almost a year ago, I got busy with other things and have only just returned to it so I don't know my way round on here at all. As someone else asked, what part of the country are you in? I appreciate your situation only too well and hope that you find friends who are local to you. Good luck!!ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I really understand how you feel. I remember how it was for me when I found myself unemployed .. at the time I was around 58 and no-one was interested in my skills or experience. It was a dreadful time and my self confidence was at an all time low after trudging round agencies and attending interviews where it was clear I was viewed as being 'past it' and 'over the hill'. I managed to get a temporary job (thankfully, there was only one other candidate) and have now worked full time on a permanent basis for almost 3 years. To my surprise, I have won awards within the company and am a highly valued employee. Take heart, it really is possible! Good on you for refusing to give up. Think positive and keep going. I take it from your post that you are hoping to return to employment and so I would say if you have yet to find a job, look out for temporary or charity work .. anything that keeps you active, motivated and will be viewed favourably by potential employers. As you posted a little while ago, you may have already been successful in finding what you want. I certainly hope so and wish you lots of luck!ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I hope you find some new friends on this site. I'm from the Bournemouth/Poole area and believe that Meetups are active in and around Lymington. Just type in Meetups.com in your browser, select your area and see what is available. I hope this helps and good luck!ViewDate:

What would you do?If I were you, I would do whatever makes you the happiest, otherwise you risk looking back with regret. Life is short .. just go out there and enjoy it! Make your plans, tell your husband and hopefully, it might spur him into action but if not, then you go girl and do the things that are important to you. I wish you luck!ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I'm so glad to hear of another person who thinks they're still in their 30's! My mirror may not agree but I fully intend to carry on feeling that way for as long as possible. I've recently joined but haven't got a clue how this site works - I've had a couple of busy weeks since then and haven't been back to work it out .. I'm sure I'll get there though! I hope you find lots of new friends through this site .. reading through the posts on here, everyone seems really friendly. Good luck!ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hello and welcome from me .. I'm a newbie who just joined this weekend too. Your thoughts struck a chord as I've recently found myself alone and I've discovered that the weekends I so looked forward to, now seem lonely and hard to fill. Like you, I keep busy during the week as I work full time. It's good that you're volunteering and going dancing. I'm just starting to look at what options might be out there to help me find new friends and rebuild my life and I wish you all the best in finding fulfilling friendships and enjoyment.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, thanks for replying. I too think this will be a great site once I've worked out how to use it. I live not far from the beaches at Bournemouth. Life might sound good for me but it's really not my partner died very unexpectedly just a few days before Christmas 2017 so I'm trying to make a fresh new start.You asked what my job is? I'm an admin worker in Bournemouth. I too am keen to do lots of city breaks. Sadly my partner developed mobility problems a few years back so we were not able to roam around and explore places. I have been to Rome though - I really enjoyed it and I'm sure you will too. I hope you have an amazing time!ViewDate:

HelloHi, I'm not sure if you'll see this as you posted back in October and I've only just joined and I've yet to work out how the site works. I also live near Bournemouth, so if you see this message please get in touch. Thanks.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I've just joined too. I'm 61 but stopped counting birthdays years ago when the numbers began stacking up. I live in the south of England near the coast and love wandering along the beach when I can. I work full time, like to stay active and am interested in most things except sport. Travel is my first love though and if I could, I'd be off round the world like a shot. I would also like to make new friends. I figure there must be a lot of people out there, especially other women who also want to live the best life they can and would like more friendships. I'm really hoping to find some other kindred spirits amongst the silver surfers.
