I have met women in their forties who act like teenagers and women in their twenties who are wise beyond their years. So, what area of the country do you live in? If it's a town that is not open about homsexuality that may be playing a factor in some of these other couples. I have been considering starting my own writing group. The thing that makes lesbian groups a little tough is that the gay communtiy often travels in the same circles- making it hard to meet new people. Take care! Age doesn’t always matter.

The activities with couples were the most odd that we have ever experienced. Never have we had women who would not visit back with us, ask questions in return, etc. We are in our early fifties, and the others appeared to be in their early and late forties. We wondered if our age was a factor. They may be extremely shy, altho they easily answered our questions and freely shared of themselves. I think your idea of an interest group is right on. Especially if its something you really enjoy and would normally do with friends anyways. I signed up for an Investment Club but there hasn't been enough others interested for that group to start. In the six plus years my partner and I have been together, we have yet to find another couple or two with whom we can regularly get together. We had a delightful friendship with a twentysomething lesbian who was mature beyond her years. She lived three hours from her partner during the week because of jobs. In spite of the 25 year age difference with us, that could have been a gem. Unfortunately, we had to move for employment.
