[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I've been trying to reach out to people a bit more. I've been having more conversations, but have not made any friends! Ha! I don't know if that's ever going to happen here! Maybe it's because I'm in my 50s. Most of the parents of my children's friends are younger than I am, and we just don't connect, even though our children do. I've been a bit friendlier at church, at school functions, wherever I run into people. I don't feel quite so lonely, but I'd sure like to have a friend here, right in my vicinity, not in California or Texas or Minnesota! Great old friends are priceless, but you can't kvetch with them or go shopping or catch a movie or grab a drink or cup of coffee, go for a walk, etc. I'd like a friend like that, even ONE would do. I have none, here. Not one. [/quote]

can you ask another mom or a neighbor to go walking for exercise?  Either during the day or at night. 
I've done this with several moms in my kids' school and it's led to true friendship over time.  
We walk a lot between 7:30 and 9pm.  [/quote]
