Best place to meet new people and make friends 50+ female
Hi! Lifelong North Texas resident with a need to expand my friend circle. I realize I'm in a rut and seem to have lost myself along the way. The people around me have become my friends by default even if our personalities don't mesh and sometimes they're not even very nice people. Several years ago, I had several friends I saw daily or at least every few days. We went on short day trips on the weekends, wine bars or happy hours during the week, photography walks, restaurants, sometimes just random places that looked interesting up ahead while driving. Over the years, most have moved away and / or gotten married.
I need to laugh again and find people that "get" my sarcastic sense of humor and interest in getting out and trying new things (within reason, lol.) Any suggestions on where people go to meet new people? My favorite "happy places" used to be wineries and wine bars to sit at for happy hour and there is just nothing like that in the area.
TIA
Edit to fix the longest run-on sentence ever. lol
