Where to look?

I am a nice guy in his mid 30’s living in south Florida and I know it’s a heavy retirement area but I should be able to find people my own age. Anything I seem to do I either have over 50 or under 24 and I just don’t seem to be able to find the mid 30’s crowd, anyone on here have any ideas?

I don’t drink, smoke, do or watch sports so that is out, almost anything else I am game for. I have tried, volunteering, yoga, drum circles, renaissance groups, dance, and other stuff with no success.

Just curious, have you ever considered trying to be friends with the people under 24 and the people over 50? I'm 27 and I have friends in both camps. As far as smoking goes, are you absolutely against hanging out with smokers? Perhaps you and the smoking crowd could hang out in places that aren't enclosed and it would bother you less. I met most of my friends at work.

I have friends in both camps also but none in a group close to my age.

Have you thought about trying some of the popular dating websites? If not for a partner, maybe just a friend?

Age should not be such a big issue, especially when you don't have many options. You can be friendly with the age groups available. Surely, it would take longer to get close to them than with your peers but it is worth a shot.

Age is always an initial issue when getting to know someone. And, indeed, in can be a barrier in forming a new relationship with someone much younger. But, I have found that once you fall in love, age becomes less relevant.
