I am also a single / divorced man here in the Villages, I do belong to one local singles group but I refuse to do online dating as there are too many fake accounts and it is just not worth my time!
I met my husband online when we were both in out 50's , you just have to be real good at swiping past the fakers. Here in TV at least there are lots of people our age.
Just watched your interview with Paul. I think a great idea to meet would be to have a singles cookout with games every one can participate in like cornhole, croquet or jenga. All easy games that would allow conversation. You could have mixed pair competitions. Mix in some food and drink and it could be a wonderful afternoon in a relaxed atmosphere.
I would love to but it will be 12-18 months before I can move down to The Villages. I’m the meantime I am trying my best to schedule another lifestyle visit before I make the permanent move.
Thanks for this one Tina. It answers a lot of the questions I’ve had about dating in the Villages. I’m also single and in the process of buying a home there and moving down from Atlanta. So I’m trying to catch up to the learning curve by watching some videos. I think Paul was a great person to interview because he is straightforward and genuine. I understand his perspective on being a bit introverted because I’m a lot like that myself. Thanks so much for getting this info out there. Keep up the good work!
Big Coyote, Thanks for the encouraging words :) Dating here is definitely a challenge but I think you just have to keep putting yourself out there and see what happens. We’re hoping to do a group setting discussion on dating here so stay tuned…
Sweet interview. Sounds like Paul needs a wing man/woman. Hope he finds a way to push himself out of his comfort zone and challenge his internal dialogue of “we are set in our ways”. Sangria Sunday sounds like a lot of fun!
I’m closing on a home next week in Lake Denham. But I won’t be able to move in right away. Do I need to be concerned about the neighborhood becoming established and clicks forming before I arrive mid summer?
Hi! i live in Lake Denham and I would say that friendships are various stages here in Lake Denham. Some are formed but i have found it pretty welcoming and easy to Be included! Just be friendly and join things! Many are in your exact situation.
Just watching this for the first time! I’m now wondering if he met someone already? I bet it’s an interesting adventure being single and trying to meet/ date people in a community like the Villages.
He didn’t do the I’m Single t-shirt yet. Maybe I should give him one… We are still working on a video with a woman’s perspective. It may be one or a group of ladies. Stay tuned!
He seems like a real nice guy and I know many women would like to go out with him but it is time for him to get out of his comfort zone. If he sees a woman in the square that looks interesting to him, time to go over and make conversation. Even if a few reject you before one says yes , it won’t kill you. Women are attracted to confidence and life starts after your comfort zone.
Not in the least. If you are not happy with your own company, you may not be happy in a relationship. You have to really like yourself before you are capable of developing any honest relationship.
I think there are a few dating or singles clubs in The Villages on Facebook. I don’t organize a Dating in The Villages group but someone probably should! If you search on FB, you will find many of them…

I will admit, I met my current boyfriend through one of the dating apps recently. 🙈
Paul seems so genuine!! Really hope all the best for him!!
Thanks Mary. He’s one of the good ones!!

I think we need you to come and organize some Singles events!

@Agiem1906 doing a lifestyle visit is definitely a good idea before making a permanent move. Good luck!

I forgot about the Big Coyote 76 handle. 😂. You guys can call me Brad. Thanks! I’ll be looking for the new video. Happy St Patrick’s Day! ☘️👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Brad 💋. Happy St Pat’s to you too !
Liverpool jacket! Any place to watch matches in the Villages? Manchester United fan here.
He recommended Gator’s
A friend from UK tells me she isn't sure but would recommend trying McGrady's (Scottish Pub) or Gators Dockside. Call first!
@@LadiesoftheLanai-yb1ns TY
@@LadiesoftheLanai-yb1ns Sumter, I guess???
Gators has locations at Brownwood and Spanish Springs. McGrady is at Sawgrass Grove.

What a great guy! He seems like a great catch! Good luck to Paul.
He is definitely a good guy ❤️
Well done video and Paul is a very nice gentleman.
He’s a good guy. Thanks for watching!

Paul is still single. Yes! It’s def an adventure to be single and meet and date in The Villages. Wish us luck :)
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
this was great! 😂. did he get a tree shirt?
which video is the women’s perspective?

Hi Christine here! I agree 100% with what you say here!
Is it hard to see all the happy couples at TV when you are single?
@suz165 good question. But better to see happy couples than unhappy couples.
Not in the least. If you are not happy with your own company, you may not be happy in a relationship. You have to really like yourself before you are capable of developing any honest relationship.
As a single person, i love seeing happy couples and just happy people around me!

Yeah right. You had a van with shag carpet and incense, guaranteed. 😅😅😅
