| I just moved to a new neighborhood where most people are married. I am recently divorced. How should I go about introducing myself to my neighbors? I'll admit my ex wife spoiled me as she took the lead introducing us to people etc. I have my kids every weekend. I guess once they establish friends perhaps I can then meet the parents. I was also thinking perhaps inviting the neighbor closest yo watch football. Any ideas? I am 45. Its a great neighborhood with a sense of community and I just don't know how to best integrate as a divorced guy. |

| The good news is since you are a guy the other husbands are not going to feel "threatened" by you. If you were a newly divorced 45 years old woman who is attractive oh boy haha the wives will immediately see you as a "threat". |

| Do yard work on a weekend morning and wave at people as they go by. |

OP here. This is an option I had in mind as well. I guess in this case I should just invite probably the 3 neighbors around me. I have a neighbor on the left, the right, and back. |

| Get a cute well behaved dog and start walking it around. It’s also a great chick magnet. |

A cat is a "chick magnet" lol. One my date from hinge actually told me..we were talking about pets and she suggested I get a cat and it would be a bonus with the ladies. |

Simply speak if you run into any of them. |

None of my women friends care for cats. We all have dogs though. |

| OP get a dog. I was never a pet person but I didn't want to be alone. So I got a dog. I love my dog. |

Introduce yourself to the husbands. Unless the wives introduce themselves first, I wouldn't make the first move.
I think though you will be more welcome as a single man than if you were a single women..Some married women are unnecessarily paranoid about single women living next door to them. |

This. As soon as attractive women divorced in our neighborhood they suddenly weren't invited to things. |
