A very partial list of suggestions includes dancing (take dance lessons), mentoring (at your local high school, for example), volunteer work (hospitals, day care centers, charitable organizations), part-time or full-time employment, or returning to school.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that you become involved in activities that really interest you because your enthusiasm will show through. Besides, if you join a club or organization just to meet men, if you&#8217;re successful in your &#8220;hunt,&#8221; you&#8217;ll have to spent a lot of time continuing an interest for which you may not have much enthusiasm. And that would be painful for you and for your new friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She&#8217;s in her mid-50s and divorced after her husband left her for another woman.
