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?

Hi All, Why is it that some people will only chat with their own gender. Some of us are genuine people who will chat with strangers.

Having been in Silversurfers a couple of years I think you will find everyone chats with everyone else

Hello, my name is John. I'm 62 and live in Coventry England.
I'm retired now but used to work in social care.
It was a forced retire really, as 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with leukaemia, but after a stem cell transplant, I have been in remission for nearly 18 months.
I'd like to chat to someone online. I also have a partner that I care for.

I would suggest you get to know people through the U3A, there is a very active group based in Ashford https://u3asites.org.uk/ashford-wye/groups

Hello Ednalee
I live in Dumfries and Galloway but some of my family live in your area.I have visited a few times but not enough to know whether I like it or not.Since moving to Scotland over 50 yrs. ago I have come to enjoy remoter mountain covered landscapes.which are further north or the Lake District to the south,which is where my sister lives.
Enjoy surfing with silver surfers there's a good discussion ongiong about the NHS and also grammar school education it is interesting getting opinions from all sorts of people with different experiences of the two systems.

I moved from my hometown in 2002, the reason I moved was to be close to my son and his family. My sister also lives close by. This town is larger, but not too big. I've worked for the school system for 13 years and am now retired. I still haven't found many people who seem to be interested in forming friendships, would like to discuss this. I'm sort of shy, and it takes awhile for me to warm up to people. I'm always trying to figure out if I can joke around and be myself, or will people take it the wrong way. I've always felt more comfortable around younger people. I need help finding just everyday people that don't take themselves too seriously.
Response from ecarg made on 1st Feb 2017 20:48:48
Hi Fiftiesgirl I'm one of those myself .I.m a believer in being yourself far to difficult to maintain some false persona.We need more people on the site with a sense of humour. There are lots of topics that you can join in with your opinions and hopefully generate some chat.
