I don't see the point of going to the gym anymore

[Lydia Leftcoast]

46. Do they have water aerobics classes?

I've been in several in both Portland and the Twin Cities, and they're very social. I've made several friends that way. Since you're able to swim, you might try a deep water class. They're quite challenging but with a fun atmosphere.

What fun things did you do in Texas? Is there a way to continue them or something similar in North Carolina? Try a bunch of things that appeal to you. They won't all stick, but at least you're out and around. Join a musical group if you sing or play an instrument. Try community theater, even if it's just as a scene painter (you'll still get invited to the cast party). Join an intramural sports. team. Take a class in a subject or hobby that you've always wondered about.

Avoid singles groups. They tend to be full of dull, unimaginative people whose only common trait is being single.
