We are a group of singles, age 50 and up in the Doylestown, PA area.  This is not a "casual hook-up" site or high pressure dating group.  We seek to provide a low-stress opportunity for mature singles to meet and befriend other singles their age, expanding their social network and calendar.  It is very possible and always a big bonus if, somewhere along the way, romance develops between members.  But if that doesn't occur, getting out and having fun is not a bad goal in itself! We have dinner …
