Dating tips applicable in other ways...

I am older and happily married but joined this sub because I have two young adult single sons. I didn't realize that while trying to understand the current dating scene (so different than when I was single) I am realizing I can apply some of the info I read here to my new life, post-kids. In other words, after homeschooling and being in the kid world for so long, I need to develop an adult friend network and making friends at my age is HARD. I am not old enough for the senior citizen groups at parishes but I do meet people through volunteer work and hobbies. So I just want to thank everyone for all their tips and advice! (I've also been known to give some dating advice based on older dating models which seemed to work well).
