I seperated from my husband in December and our divorce finalized last month. I'm not ready to start dating, but I'm struggling with my new life, spending so much time alone is hard. My friends are all married and keep inviting me out on their date nights, which is awkward to say the least. I need to make new friends my own age who are single and want to get out of the house like I do. I don't even know where to begin with meeting new people. I'm not a drinker and don't want to go to bars and I can't afford to pay to go to the gym or join a class. Can anyone offer ideas as to how at 40 I can make new friends and get out of these four walls once in a while?

I'm not sure how big of a city you live in or if you live close to a large city, but there is a "club" for want of a better word near my city where singles 35+ can sign up for group outings. You can go or not go on any that you want. It could be theatre, bowling, bungee jumping, a cooking class, ect. There are members of both sexes. (think of senior groups for younger people)
A friend of mine and I looked into it but never ended joining. Something like that may be outside your comfort zone but that's not always a bad thing. It's not a "dating" group so no pressure.
-------------------- When we were together, you said you'd die for me. Now, I think it's time you kept your promise.

I am going to chime in because I actually have the same question. Wow what a struggle it can be when you feel so alone and you just lost your thought to be family and best friend.
