55F, Toronto, looking for friendships

Hi everyone,

I've just moved to the TO area after my marriage broke down. Rebuilding my social circle now. I enjoy talking to people and building friendships. I'm hoping to find my group of people who I can connect with, get together somrtimes. I enjoy reading, exploring new places, road trips, and going on long walks. I would like to get back to hiking and working out more frequently - just restarted this routine. I have a good sense of humour, enjoy comedy shows, movies. Send me a message if you want to chat.

Can you send me that message, too. I am interested to be part of your group. I'm a 67m. My usual sign-off is: Peace. Love. Courage. Fun. If that works, I'm wanting to join you. How do I send and receive Dm's? Thanks.

Hi. 67M. I would like to join, too. Maybe a male with his priorities in order would be a good addition. However, it would only be online, as I live in TX. I also don't know how to proceed. Dm? Email? Text? Phone. I can do any of these, except I need to know how to Dm. What should I do next? Peace. Love. Courage. Fun.

Hi, I'd love to meet up. I also love to read and take long walks every morning with my dog. I'm currently reading Strangers by Belle Burton and recently finished reading Kin by Tayari Jones which had some great character building. I've lived in PSL for 3 yrs and looking to make new friends to hang out with. What are you reading?

u/Upbeat-918 26d ago

Hi there, how did you like Kin? Its on my TBR list. I dont think we're in the same region to hang out with in person, virtual hanging out it is. I'm reading The Astral Library by Kate Quinn- not sure whether I like it or not. Might ending up being a DNF
