      Widowed singles in North Carolina

      Few states offer such a gentle spread of scenery as North Carolina, with mountains in the west, rolling Piedmont towns in the middle and long beaches on the coast. It is also a state where many people retire, and where neighbours still wave. If you have lost your spouse, our site gives you a quiet way to meet others who have been through the same. Members live in Charlotte and the Triangle, in the Blue Ridge, along the Outer Banks and in the small towns between. Talk online first, meet for coffee when it feels right, and let friendship or romance grow at its own pace. Choose North Carolina to see members near you. Whether you grew up in the state or moved here for the climate, you will find members of all backgrounds, and a kind word is always welcome.

      Gentle first-date ideas in North Carolina

      Sarah P. Duke Gardens

      Near the Duke University campus in Durham, these formal and woodland gardens have paths and benches that make slow conversation easy. The gardens are lovely in every season, so there is rarely a bad time to go.

      Blue Ridge Parkway

      Drive a short section near Asheville and stop at an overlook for the view. It is a relaxed first meeting with plenty to look at. Check the weather first, as mountain mist can sometimes hide the views.

      Wilmington Riverwalk

      A long boardwalk beside the Cape Fear River, with cafes and shops in the historic downtown streets just behind. Look for a bench at the waterfront and watch the boats go by.

      North Carolina Museum of Art

      In Raleigh, you can combine gallery rooms with a sculpture park outside, so there is a choice of indoor or outdoor if the weather changes. The sculpture park is a good option for fine days, and the galleries are there if it rains.

      Seasons and weather

      Spring and autumn are the best times of year, with dogwood and azaleas in April and brilliant leaves in the mountains from October. Summers are hot and humid in the east and centre, so mornings or the hills are kinder. Winters are usually mild on the coast and chillier in the mountains, where snow can affect roads. Hurricane season runs from June to November, so check the forecast before heading to the coast. Higher up in the mountains it is noticeably cooler than in the lowlands, so bring a jumper even in summer.

      Local flavour

      Barbecue is a serious subject here, with vinegar-based sauce in the east and a tomato-tinged style in the west. Add sweet tea, biscuits, fresh seafood on the coast and mountain apples, and you have plenty to chat about. Ask your match which barbecue they swear by. Fresh peaches and strawberries appear in the summer, and Moravian cookies and pimento cheese are old favourites.

      What is a good first date in North Carolina?

It is wise to tell someone your plans and keep your phone to hand, especially on mountain roads.
