Find a Companion?

Once you find yourself on your own, you may want to find yourself a companion so that you can go on holiday, go to shows & functions, just enjoy some company.

But how do you find someone like that?

With extreme difficulty in my experience
But then I'm weird and it puts people off.

You and me both, Tess.
I've been on my own for 17 years now.

Sorry Ted, we're probably not the best ones to give you advice.

Re: Find a Companion?

Weird would not be an issue - it suggests that there is a personality there.

Looking at your locations, the distance might be a problem!

What i'm trying to get my head round is having a friend to meet, dine with, and then go our ways.

If that worked it might develop into separate rooms on a holiday, or whatever.

Just companions.

Hope you get my drift.

A suggestion. Get a dog and get out walking.

You meet and greet. Social encounters face to face. I'm happily married going om twenty years. When I was about to retire I said to my dear wife I'd like a dog - a collie. She found Max at a rescue centre. We walk a lot and have social interaction with others. My dear wife says that I flirt with the lady dog walkers. Possibly true....

Re: Find a Companion?

Besoeker, you 'quoted' me and Tess there.

We both have dogs already. ( I have 5 in fact).
