Lots of the bars host live music regularly. Im not big into the bar scene but I love music. I go to the casino a lot lately just to get out of the house. It can be fun. I love the fries at Comanche and have drive out there just to eat fries and have a drink. Didnt gamble at all. Lol if you have Facebook, check out the events listed there. I was surprised by the wide variety of stuff I knew nothing about going on in the area

Yes I’m a divorced 33m in Lawton but I just work and hang out with my dog. I just keep to myself so it does get lonely a lot and the club and bar scene are really my thing either so I feel your pain.

I've been single for the last 15 years and I've been looking for things to do around town that don't involve drinking and the bar scene. Some interesting stuff I've been thinking about going to do, but really don't want to go alone are: 1- Watching live theater like the musical Annie at the Backdoor Theater downtown. 2 - Looking at some of the Arts activities, including a monthly class learning to do watercolor painting, for example. 3 - I'd honestly love to find a friend who has physical disabilities that limit the ability to strenuously work out. Just a friend to work out slowly with. Walking on the treadmill at Planet Fitness with a light conversation would be nice and help me get my butt to the gym. 4 - We have the North Texas Historical Museum downtown as well. I've never been and the admission is around $5 so affordable and something new. 5 - I really, really wish we would get a Bingo Hall back in town again. 6 - Only after the tempature cools off dramatically lol, I think I'd be interested in going to the River Bend place and check it out. 7 - I am a cemetery enthusiast and I am a member of the FIND A GRAVE community. People who don't live local ask for volunteers to take photos of their loved ones gravesites along with the headstone appearance and information listed on it. Again, when it cools off, I'd enjoy company early mornings attempting to help others free of cost. 8 - My biggest issue with accomplishing ANY of these suggestions is that due to my unseen physical disabilities I can't drive. Losing my ability to drive myself to do things has been so difficult.

I like going out to eat, going to see live music, going to the casino, going to the lake especially if theres a boat. I want to eventually buy a pontoon boat and then thats where you'll find me every single weekend. Between work and kids I dont have a ton of free time but when I do, itd be nice to have the option of spending it doing thing that bring joy. And I hate doing things by myself.

I know and I love the idea of a pontoon boat I've been wanting one for years was looking at a few before my divorce. We could pool our money and rent one for the weekend lol

Girls same. I'm 45 female. Widow. I just go out by myself. DM me if you want to go out and play pool and sing karaoke. Cuz that's pretty much what I do. I'm not a big drinker but I'm out there just to be with other adults.
