single friends

[Dena]

I have been leaning alot on my friends and they keep telling me that I ned to get invovled in a single's group at church. Well my town is so small that that is quite unreal!! Do ya'll have any ideas?

If you don't have a job why not move to a bigger city? A fresh start may do you some good. I hope you start finding some peace.

I wish I had some great advice for you but I don't... but I just wanted to say that I hope everything works out well for you. Things have a way of working themselves out. :)

bye... :wave:

It sounds like your friends might know of one since they are suggesting it..ask them. But I agree with Angie. Move to a new city and make a fresh start..it doesn't sound like there is anything keeping you in the town that you live in now.

I'm with the others. Try for a fresh start, somewhere new. It doesn't have to be too far from where you are. You'll still want your friends close by.
I don't know if I would be rushing out to a singles group right away. Take some time for yourself. Just relax, get to know yourself again, set some new goals and go for it. Oh, oh course. keep coming to chat with us. Very important, Don't forget that part. :)

I agree with Ryleigh on the singles group especially if your goal is "looking for love". It's too soon. If, however, it's just for mutual support during a difficult time, then go for it. Remember we're always here for you too.

I am a little late, so I just wanted to say that I hope everything works out okay. Let us know how you are doing.

I've mainly away from the board for awhile so I'm alittle late with my suggestion. Since you are just going through a divorce, I'm not really sure a singles group is the thing. Aren't they usually away for you to *find love*? I'd suggest avoiding dating for a little while just so you can *find yourself* and what you want - then find someone that shares your interests. It's possible your friends just want you to get out and have fun. You can maybe do that by taking some classes. What are you interested in? Maybe you can start a self improvement project. Go to the gym or an aerobics class. Maybe a Bible study class since religion is important to you.

Moving can have advantages and disadvantages. I like the suggestion of moving far enough to find a job and open up more social oppurtunities without going to far to lose contact with your supportive friends. Moving would help you feel like a fresh start.
