Above.
I'm 45 in April, and I don't want to be single and with no kids all my life, I want my Parents to have 2 sets of Grandkids, my Brother's kids and if possible, at least one from me.
However, I've applied to that Undateables thing on Channel 4 3 times and not got on, I'm probably too old and live too far North, most of the dates on that were down South, Brighton and that.
I've tried dating sites such as Plenty of Fish, but again there's the age and distance issue.

Applying to a TV show might not be the answer, and whilst I appreciate that during lockdown socialising won't be possible the best way to meet people is through things like work or volunteering or being part of a social group of some kind.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Are you not able to adjust the age range and location range on sites like Plenty of Fish @MrAllen1976? I haven't used that one myself, but I know you can adjust those settings on apps like Tinder.
Other than that, I'd agree that social groups and volunteering can both be great ways to meet new people. -
I've had matches on the Tinder app, but like I said I'm always too old for them and they're too far away
