[Corks finest]

Hi
Not been with anyone 14/15 years and I’m happy enough mostly with my own company and gym, walking, meeting a few buds for a coffee few times a week but been mulling over meeting someone vv casually but don’t know how to go about it,
Don’t drink or smoke so it’s awkward,
And I’m paranoid about scams and loopers on the different sites,
My ex has been on them years and don’t want her anywhere near me ,
And knowing me I’d hook up ( got the terminology already)
her .
Any advice via open or DM woul be appreciated big time.

I met my current missus on Hinge 3 years ago. I was just about to delete the app when she messaged me but in general though they are shite. Id suggest downloading the meetup app and see if theres anything on there that might interest you like hill walking groups, board game meet ups, whatever...and try to meet someone organically through shared interests. If anyone reading this hasn't heard of the app and feels isolated or they don't get out much etc, its a great app. Best of luck

Thanks I’m on a hill walking group but shy away from the weekends away etc
I’d be a fish out of water not drinking
Thanks for the advice

I was done with the dating scene before apps took centre stage CF, so I might be a bit old fashioned in this regard.. you sound fairly active/fit so would something like a hiking/walking group be a decent call? My mum is in one (Stay away from her ) and theres a big gang of them which makes a big difference as you get a mix of all abilities and theres enough around every week that it doesn't matter if people dont go so you dont have to be at everything. There is a hike every weekend, they all take turns planning and leading them, and a few foreign trips every year also for anyone who fancies it

Another Friend used be ok for 40s 50s. It was some time ago so if something bad happens don't blame me
Just to add they all seemed to be into fitness on it too
