Surviving a Toxic Relationship and Staying Positive! I am starting this meet up group to provide a safe place for men and women to heal from a Toxic Relationship. I had been in a toxic relationship for 6+ years. I did not know or understand what a toxic relationship was or that I was even in one.

Are you tired of trying to find the right place to meet mature (48-65 ish), eligible single folks?  I am.  Bars send the wrong message; singles events are mainly about dancing and loud music with no opportunity to actually get to know folks; dating websites are expensive or just not very helpful and some other meetup groups seem to more like a singles "meat market", only for young folks, or they are non-singles events. I have started this group because I love going out to dinner and socializing …
