      Widowed singles in South Carolina

      Life along the Lowcountry marshes, in the Upstate foothills or by the Grand Strand moves at a gentle pace, which suits many people who are grieving. Yet even here it is possible to feel unseen after your partner has gone. South Carolina has a large number of retirees and long-time residents who have lost a husband or wife, and many of them tell us they are glad to find others in the same boat. Our site is a soft landing. Introduce yourself, talk about your day, and arrange to meet when you feel ready. Whether you hope for friendship or romance is entirely up to you. Select South Carolina and your nearest town to begin. Many of our members have retired here from other states and left friends behind, which can make the loneliness worse. If that is your situation, you may find it comforting to talk with people who have been in your shoes. Go at your own pace.

      Gentle first-date ideas in South Carolina

      Charleston waterfront

      Waterfront Park has a long promenade, a fountain and benches facing the harbour. From there, the historic streets and gardens of the old city are a short stroll.

      Falls Park, Greenville

      The Reedy River tumbles over rocks beside a curved pedestrian bridge in the downtown. Cafes and shops are close by, so there is plenty of choice afterwards.

      Brookgreen Gardens

      Near Murrells Inlet, sculpture is displayed among live oaks and flower beds. Paths are flat and shaded, with quiet places to pause.

      Beaufort

      This small coastal town has a waterfront park, grand old houses and oaks hung with moss. It is peaceful and made for a leisurely afternoon.

      Seasons and weather

      Spring is the star, with azaleas and wisteria (camellias bloom earlier, from late autumn through winter), and it is the easiest time to meet outdoors. Summers are hot and humid on the coast, so choose mornings or shade. Autumn is mild and pleasant. Winters are gentle in the Lowcountry, though the hurricane season runs from June to November, so check the forecast if you travel to the coast. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer, so keep an umbrella handy and have a back-up plan for outdoor meetings.

      Local flavour

      Shrimp and grits, she-crab soup and boiled peanuts are local specialities, and peaches from the Midlands are a summer treat. Sweet tea is served nearly everywhere. Ask your match what they like best from the Lowcountry kitchen. Low-country boil, pimento cheese and Carolina Gold rice are also part of the local table, and many towns have a favourite bakery for biscuits.
