Singles; what do you like to do? (how to, married, women)

[mitopcat]

So, I used to work at multiple restaurants here in the area. Most of the time I was invited to hang with some people that would venture to bars that had a band that would play any type of song, or jazz-type music. On some nights I would lose myself to the music and dance with some of the single ladies, just to give them a dance partner and just enjoy myself. I miss the good old days.

I am 30 years old now and I'm one of the oldest at the restaurant. The other is a married women with two kids but only 4 months older than me. Everybody else ranges from 19 to 24 years old, with spots of 28s. These people usually hang-out at a club called Streeter's; which is basically a club of mostly guys trying to get women where the setting is just electric dance music...just not my place.

I'm bored with my life and really need to start meeting people my age so that I can again start to enjoy life. Does anybody have any ideas on where to start meeting people my age bracket?

volunteer and church but my hands down favorite is art and crafts and self improvement classes.

My routine is work, reading and Netflix. I'd say there's a good reason why I'm a lifelong single.

Honestly, I'm not sure what to suggest as I struggle with finding ways to meet other people (women in particular). Outside of bars I have no clue where to interact with others.

Perhaps you could search MeetUp for local activities you have intetest in. I have yet to try it but some say it's a great resource for meeting people.

Thanks, and like I said, I miss the good old days.

I'm not big into meeting people through online websites, but I'll have to give it a trial run.

What are some activities you enjoy? That is a good start. If you like church, that is a start. If you like like music, think of creating a meetup group that travels around to different music venues. Something along those lines.

I believe in common interests! I met two men (long term relationships): one I met in my cycling group and the other I met when someone started a poker /scotch or wine tasting party with alternating people hosting. You get to mingle and meet people.

You can always try online, and I have met some cool people, or organically in the real world, I find the better connections.

Try taking classes of interest at the local colleges. Two of my friends met their spouses at dance classes. The good about meeting someone at an activity of interest is that at least you know you have one thing in common.

[ho hey!]

What do I like to do? that's a good question... I like to go for long walks (usually 2-4 hours) in the park (which it is located in downtown). I enjoy going to cafe, bookstores, and volunteer. That's about it. I am working on expanding my interests and hobbies to other areas.

Playing the bass, go to good restaurants, go for drives (not having my own car means I rarely get to do so, making each ride all the sweeter), drink

Moving from traverse city would be a start, your not too far from the upper peninsula. That's a sparsely populated region in general. Take a plane ride to Chicago or Toronto or elsewhere and you'll find something you like.

As for me, I love to travel. Through this past summer I did alot of domestic traveling but in the next few months I'll be headed abroad on a few short excursions for fun and work (i'm a musician). I like to give back and help children and adults learn to play specific instruments, I also enjoy teaching people how to use the fine arts for cathartic experiences. It's a cold world out there but many of our negative obstacles can be defeated with positive reinforcement, discipline and some support.

The only problem I found with those meet up and activity groups is that the age group is like 35-50's.

I just posted a forum in the Tampa Bay area asking about the same thing. I want to get out there, I'm 31, and sick of rearranging furniture & watching my fish..
