Hi Dironiza and welcome, first I feel the need to remind you that these forums are completely public and google searchable, every person on the internet now has access to your e-mail and can send you spam, harass you, etc. For that reason the mods generally come through and delete those out. CC does have a private messaging system, which is like your own CC e-mail with the difference that it can be monitored and reported if someone misuses the system.
Anyway that's online safety basics 101, we know how tough it can be to find friends when you're an older single and that's why we have our little singles community here. So jump in and get to know people, join some of the discussions, and I bet you'll meet people and have new friends in no time.
