- I'm single. Since this is such a new group, and anything is possible at this
- stage, let's get started and create something good.
-
- I am in my 40's, work at Brown University and go to school 3/4 time -- English/
- Secondary Education. I lived in California 28 years before coming here and
- have 3 children there.
-
- I've noticed that here, as well as elsewhere, it is difficult for people intheir
- 30's and 40's and 50's (and upwards) to meet others of the opposite sex without
- going to a place where people are awkward, defensive and nervous (dance bars).
- I love to dance, but these places bring out the strangeness in people. As many
- continue to point out, there are few alternatives. It would be good to develop
- some alternatives.
-
- I have found Rhode Island to be a friendly place, which surprised me, as I was
- warned, coming from the west that it wouldn't be so friendly. It's been wonderful
- to me. The weather, as my son would say, "sucks" a lot of the time--but there
- are many beautiful places to see here.
-
- I have good friends already and a great place to live, and I love school, but
- it's a lot of pressure to go to work and school both.
-
- I'm not sure if I'm being off-the-mark, writing this note, but I don't think so,
- as it is such a new group that anything can be possible.
