Are you a senior single

By: joe golz

To some people being single is the most unpleasant thing that you can think of, to others it can be a whole new adventure. To be part of the singles group is quite common.

People can arrive at this destination in many ways; the loneliness can happen because perhaps a person has gone through a divorce or sadly lost a partner earlier in their lives. They do not always wish to re-open the wounds by letting someone into their life again. They arrive at being singles purely due to not wishing to find anyone.

There are seniors who have possibly never married throughout their lives and are just single through the passing time , so they have remained single all the time and are now deemed as a �member� of the senior singles group.
Then there are people that are genuinely lonely and have searched for love but have never discovered it and so are classed also as single.

So, is it really that bad to be part of the singles group? This depends completely on your character, if you are sociable and are not anxious to meet with new people then you will deal with your being alone status well. If however you are shy , and find it difficult to meet new people you might find it hard to accept the single label that you seem to of been presented with.

There are plenty of opportunities open to a single to meet others , and you do not have to be the most extroverted person going either. You could attend a local coffee morning held in a library or club; these are generally open to everyone. They are the perfect chance to meet new friends and you will probably find out many more singles present along with yourself.

If you are a single lady then how about considering a new hobby ? You could try knitting, sewing, assisting in a small shop or helping in a local library. There are many opportunities available and it is always rewarding to learn something new.

The same if you are a senior gentleman , there are plenty of new hobbies for you too, how about golf? Or you could take up Nordic walking if you are able , or again you could assist in a local store.

Becoming a senior singles need not be as scary as you might first think; it can open up new roads for you that you probably would not think of taking if you had a partner.

There are some beautiful coach tours on hand that visit some delightful places; many of the people on the tours are seniors that find out the beauty of travelling away from the area for the day. Just escaping from daily life and being in the company of others in a similar situation is like a breath of fresh air to most senior singles .

If you are feeling extra adventurous why not take a coaching holiday? There are many travel companies specialising in holidays especially catered for senior singles, just simple sightseeing holidays nothing too exhilarating. They give you the opportunity to break away on your own though , and can offer a welcomed confidence boost for the senior singles .
