Is there such a thing as being single too long?

I have been single for 10 years now and I am starting to miss being in a relationship. Having recently moved to upstate, NY and no car anymore, plus it is nice area but so isolated. The few friends I have think I am a pretty woman dating and how can I be single?
Meanwhile, I am always by myself.
Don't get me wrong I like myself but  where are you supposed to meet real people?
I used to make friends or 3 long relationships but easy in Queens, NY. Never had to look to meet anyone.
I never meet anyone, so how am I supposed to date or meet someone?
Need dating advice?
Old school and not an aggressive type of woman who would ever ask a guy out?
I would actually like to just see one.

Well, Warwick is not so far upstate, not like Saratoga or Plattsburgh. My wife’s family passed through Warwick before the Revolution and founded the Old School Baptist Church.

Anyway, Warwick has churches, community college, university, grocery stores, book club, volunteer organizations etc. Aim to establish a circle of friends and activities and someone will effect an introduction.  Meantime you will have people to chat with and keep you busy.

You might also check into volunteer organizations in less obvious categories. One of the best where I live is one that plants trees in the community. Great volunteers come out and the people really bond. (Maybe ask at a plant nursery if there is such a volunteer organization where you live.) And, if you have time during the day, don't overlook volunteering at a school if there is the need. Once you make friends (usually teachers), they have friends and brothers, and can see about connecting you.
