I became active in my church and attended Bible studies, church services, choir, prayer group, small groups. I was like a little mini-Jesus for a while, at church more than He was! I often took Yoga classes, dance classes (Latin Line Dance, no partner needed), cooking classes and stuff like that at the community centre. Part of my problem was I got way too active trying to build myself a new life and while adjusting to being newly single I may have burnt myself out! I was determined to re-build and was on a mission, now I've learned to mellow out a little and allow for down time...at least that's what I tell myself! Some people on the BB and in my non-BB life have tried Meetup.com, they have tons of groups for people who want to get together and they are based on an interest rather than just a bunch of people getting together trying to figure out what to say to each other. It might be worth a shot...and don't forget the ultimate male challenge, Ballroom dance lessons...remember what doesn't kill you will make you stronger!
