I meet the most interesting people, women and men, when I am pursung my interests--the walking trail, the bookshop coffee shops. lectures and etc. 

At this point I guess I am not allowed to pursue my interests. I do not have any money! I can't go anywhere cuz I can't afford gas. I try to meet people on line in places that I am interested in something; but so far nothing has really come of it except online pals. One of the problems I think is that I live in a rural area...a distance from most things that are going on. I go walking near home, but rarely even see anyone except in cars that are going by. I used to make $50k + a year...now with this economic situation going on, I have lost my business and I only make $141.00 a week from unemployment. I can't spend that money on anything except neccessary bills. My house payment is $1050.00.

Thanks for your kind reply, but I just don't know what to do. I am very lonely. WOULD LOVE A REAL HUG!!

A senior from our church moved back to her home state after meeting an marrying again, she was a widower. Has grown children, and grandchildren, her mother and step father still reside in KENTUCKY, UNSURE If SHE MET guy on facebook, or some other site. But she is a great sister, and we all pray for her continued happiness, and it just shows that some are finding joy, and even when it costs them.

This is a national site someone mentioned in another group which I Started, so I Thought I Would post it in here its like for the city you are located in www.meetup.com

When I Looked at it a while a go it seemed to have a lot of different even hobby groups, book clubs, bible studies so look at the list of activity groups in your areas. Also some areas have senior groups that get together for dancing square dance and other types, and plays and field trips, some have a minimal membership fee, like twenty five dollars in this area, might be cheaper in yours two suggestions.
