DEAR DEIDRE: GETTING physical and being loved up doesn’t interest me but I would like to find a female friend.
I’m in my sixties and have been divorced twice, and a relationship is not what I want.
But I’m lonely and would love a female companion to go to the cinema or share a meal with.
I’ve tried going on dating sites and matched with a nice woman.
I was open and frank about what I wanted and we seemed to be on the same page.
But when it came to the day of meeting up, she said she wanted more, and so I cancelled.
What other avenues can I try to find a friendship?

DEIDRE SAYS: If you want to meet the right person, online dating sites are not always the best places.
I would suggest looking around for local clubs that have mixed memberships.
Would you consider volunteering? This is also a great way to meet interesting people.
Have a look at meetup.com, which lists social events and clubs in your area.
My support pack Widening Your Social Scene will also help.
