Bibi - Nautical course to meet rich men, lol! I worked at a marina for awhile in the parts/service dept (LOTS of guys there!) and from what I saw, most of the guys who owned the million-dollar yachts were old retired men. Now, if you totally LOVE boats/boating in general (I do!), then meeting a nice, regular guy would be a definite possibility at something like that. But yeah, pretending to be interested in something you don't have a clue about, or don't like, will most certainly end in disaster, with you looking kinda foolish. Stick with things you're genuinely interested in, and your passion for the subject will shine through and attract friends who share those same interests.

I like to look at the enrichment courses offered at our local community college and say "Ooh, I'd love to take THAT one, and THAT one, and THAT one!" Only I totally have no time at all. Someday when I'm old I will! There are a lot of really interesting courses taught there, like anything from photography to ballroom dancing to baking. It would be really neat to do something like that just to make new friends and connections. And it's true, oftentimes love finds you when you least expect it! So in the meantime, have fun and enjoy yourself!
