I have this problem.. I live in a smaller area, not much going on, I work with non Christian smokers (no judging, but I'm allergic) and the church I grew up in is full of older marrieds.. Tried other churches but not much luck.. Online dating is not for me and I have tried it in the past w/ no luck at all. I've seriously pondered moving.. so BORED!
I totally feel your pain, I guess I should have looked through the forums prior to posting. I'm new to forums. I have always ended up banned on sites when i start using forums. (it'll be likely mine will come soon here too lol, but beyond that)
I have tried finding interesting things to do... but I have a specific comfort zone that's not conducive to meeting new people. I am a recluse. I like my home, I dislike leaving my home which is not helpful when trying to meet people.
I joined a *meetup.com* area singles .. board games... christian social events held by meetups.. but these are all very tightly knit groups or completely the wrong age group. Many seem to be married or under 30. I asked earlier where do all the people my age hang out and I've come to believe... They Simply Don't
Right now, it's Saturday night and I'm home, watching TV. I have no desire to go anywhere. Like you, I appear much younger than 43 years of age and this attracts hormonally driven guys/boys ... not Godly men to talk to me.
I find myself chatting with a guy and turns out he's only a few years older than my son... I'm like oh man FAIL again. lol
I suppose it is time for me simply to do more volunteer work for charities because that seems like the best way for me to at least be around people and do a good thing at the same time. Plus it saves the UPS and FEDex Guy from becoming my prey. lol - I'm totally kidding here.
