Take up art classes pottery, painting or other hobby classes. the rec and parks department (at least where I live) offers all sorts of classes. Take a cooking class, volunteer for festival events, look through your newspaper for other activities but most important don't try so hard. Good luck.

Now that many 50+ y.o. people are still in good shape, you might try a gym (not the free-weight, bodybuilder kind!), but more like the Y, esp. w/a pool. Try joining a golf club if you're not too athletic. Many women this age have kids at home, (unlike 30 yrs. ago!) mostly teens, so if you do, try joining a parent group or watch your kid play a sport!
Online is a great way to meet people--Yahoo has personals in your area, as do several other sites. MySpace can be great, too, if you join groups with people with similar interests. I'm always AMAZED how many people on forums are in their 40's and 50's. I've met TONS of people I'd hook up with if I weren't married!
And who says you can't go to clubs or beaches? Depending where you live, there are plenty of concerts where baby boomers go...they never stopped rocking!
And, uh, stay away from Wal-mart and shopping in general; people are always cranky in those joints! At least I am! Fluorescent lights, bad air and screaming kids do NOT foster romance!

I'm not in the older crowd yet but there's a plethora of places. You have to go where the ladies are. We shop, we shop a lot. This is not affected by age so prepare to meet ladies of different ages. This sounds hysterical but cruise the malls. Plenty of us gals hang out there, shopping. Think about your interests/hobbies and go to the locations that these interests/hobbies take place. Hey, you may as well find the ladies that already do the stuff you like, right?

Take an adult ed class; develop a hobby or join a club; actually the suggestion about nursing homes is good- volunteer. You will meet someone when you least expect it.
Good luck!

Same place a 20 or 30 year old guy ought to -- church, school (ballroom dancing classes are a great way), or a club (the chess, theater, or flower kind).

Church, the mall, online meeting places, if you are a friendly type of individual you will not have any problem.
