If you’re like me, you are a single/divorced/or widowed, professional 40+ woman who works 40+ hours during the week and has little time (or energy for that matter) to develop friendships with other woman. I try to plan outings on the weekends – shopping, movies, hikes, festivals, Sunday coffee etc., and while I enjoy my own company it would be nice to share the experience(s) with a friend or two. So, I thought that creating “Weekend Friends” would be a great idea for women like me living in the …

Meetup meets Groupon/daily deals, but better. What’s better then great food at nice restaurants? How about enjoying it while meeting new people. What’s even better then that? How about saving 30% to 50% at the restaurants while doing all this. This group is first and foremost about discovering new restaurants and food, meeting new friends, and enjoying an evening in a fun and casual way. But why not also save money while doing it. We take the best of Meetup and married with the deal phenomenon b …

Meetup is great, but have you ever noticed how many of the social groups for people over 20 are singles groups? That one looks cool,... damn, can't do that. That's an event I'd like,... nope, can't do that. It's not that I begrudge that at all, I just want to have some fun with a cool group of people too. There's also the kid thing - I love kids in moderation but choose not to have my own. When you have kids, it is natural they are a huge and important part of your life - but don't you want to g …

The purpose this group is for all of us singles who are also progressive to find kindred spirits. “Progressives” spans the whole spectrum of the left and many topics – so whether you’re interested in the environment, sustainable energy, peace and social justice, international or local community issues, or animal rights, this can be a home for you. Sometimes we will gather at events (e.g., lectures, movies), participate in an activity, or sometimes just kick back and schmooze or dance - but we ca …

Adventure doesn't have to be just about the destination, sometimes it's a state of mind. Stepping out of your comfort zone with a new group of people can be an adventure. So if you're single and over 45ish with that spirit of adventure, I think you've come to the right place. So let's check some things off our Bucket Lists, try new things, revisit old things with new people. Here's some of the things I think we can start with: Potluck/picnic, horseback riding, horse races, amusement parks, bowli …

Our Third Act is a social movement, by and for older adults, powered by social enterprise. It is education and mutual support in action, as we create healthy and fulfilling lives as we age. American culture is obsessed with youth, and is stuck in an outdated paradigm of aging, so as we age we’re seen as “over the hill”, useless, decrepit and ugly. And, the societal systems for aging are far worse than negative social attitudes. Our financial structures, housing, and healthcare are completely dys …

There's no denying that going online is the first step in connecting with other singles. If you're reading this, you can check that off your list! The problem is that we're all busy and there are just so...many... profiles to sift through. Then there's the endless email banter, awkward phone conversations, trying to line up schedules...forget that news! The only way to know for sure if you have a connection is to meet face-to-face. If you are fed-up with wasting your time behind your computer an …

As we get older and get into relationships, it is sometimes hard to find "Couple Friends" to share your life with. We each have our individual friends but as life gets busy, even those relationships get harder and harder to maintain. Then, if you're like my fiancé and I, we are in our mid-thirties, and professionals but kid free and find ourselves doing most activities alone because all of our friends are married with kids. We would like to find some friends that live in the 680 corridor who enj …
