I would like to make new friends for general conversation only

I have recently moved to a new home, and I feel very isolated where I am living not knowing many people here. I would very much like to make and chat with some new friends.  Is there anyone else in the same situation?

Hello. I am 70= and because my wife still works and my children have their own lives to lead, I am left pretty much on my own most of the time. I used to be a computer programmer (well, none of us are perfect), but now I just like pottering about and cooking. (I also have to do cleaning and gardening and stuff, but I'd rather not talk about that.) So, I had this idea that instead of spending my day talking to myself, maybe I could find others to chat to. Anyone else out there feel the same way?

Hi, I am 80, live in Winchester, Kentucky and my life is much like yours. Am alone most of the time my husband is on dyalisis and runs around most of the time when not on dyslisis. Would really like to chat about whatever is of interest to both of us. I am interested in politics, religion, football for beginners. Hope to hear from you, Gtrechen

Hi! I'm my Father's caregiver and stay pretty much close to home Its easy to get a little lonely and isolated, so I can kind of relate to how you feel.

Hi, I'm 58 and live in Sunderland. I'd love to make some new friends, doesn't matter where you live, can always chat on here if you're too far away.

I live alone now that my 2 daughters have left home, but am very close to them.

I love to travel, have been to various countries around the world.

I drink very, very little alcohol but like to go out to nice restaurants.

Would love to hear from some of you.

Hi there, what shocking weather we’ve been having. I hope that you’ve been able to get about and not been cut off by the snow. I live in Lancashire and it’s not been too bad here but the grandchildren are disappointed that we didn’t have more.Where about do you live?

Hello all! New here and still finding my way around. I should have said "Hey y'all", as I am from the south in the USA. I too am unexpectedly on my own and trying to restart my life at 65. I have 3 beautiful daughters and 5 grands. As they have their own busy lives, it is challenging to fill my days. The local university has a wonderful Lifelong Learning program which offers a variety of classes on current events, history, crafts, and much more just for seniors. These are offered in spring and fall.
I love reading, knitting, painting, cooking, and photography. Oh, and I'm something of a political news junkie.
I have a 10 yr old Min Pin, Mika, (Love animals). Love to travel, try new restaurants, meet new people. Anyone want to chat about anything?
