    I think that is what I am worried about, I know some lovely people who are older than me, but I really want to make some friends my own age.

    I guess it would be a case of giving it a go.

    What's the worst that could happen?

    when I went to a speed dating night just out of curiosity, I was easily the youngest one their by about 15 years. :rolleyes:

    Now that's a scary thought.

    probably a laugh though.

    Yeah, it was good fun actually.

    I was chatting to this woman and she set me up a date with her daughter. :rotfl:

    I've said it before, local Am-Dram societies (Amateur Dramatics) love new members. You don't have to want to be on stage there's loads of different parts to putting on a show. In fact if you can wield a needle, operate a spotlight or paint a bit of scenery you'll be very popular!

    There's usually a huge range of ages and characters in a society. They're usually crying out for able-bodied men. (I met Popeye at mine ;) ) and some of the girls are just gorgeous (I'm not, he didn't marry me cos I look like a show-girl, I'm more a roly-poly)

    And I found the back stage guys really useful for my own domestic DIY too when I was single......

    I'm sorry but those "....." make me think of that sentence as a sort of euphemism!! :rotfl:



    And yes Lucy, it does work. However it's a rather strange story to be telling your friends how you met her! Trust me on that one :o
