Redheadsusie,
Glad I could help. There may not be a café near you, but maybe you could find a nice little diner or something. If there a library near you and you like to read, you could also spend some thime there. Or, if you have the time, visit your home town once in a while, spend time in familiar places, etc.
It's easy to say, but not easy to do, but we have to step out of our comfort zone to break free of the loneliness. Some people aslo volunteer as a way to meet people. It doesn't cost a thing and it beats being home alone with the tv!
