      Widowed singles in Texas

      Everything is said to be bigger in Texas, including the distances between friends. If you have lost your husband or wife, a state this size can sometimes feel very empty, but kind people are never as far away as you imagine. Our community includes widows and widowers in the big cities, the Hill Country, the Gulf Coast, the high plains and the Rio Grande valley. Messages come first, so you can get a feel for someone without leaving home. When you do meet, it can be as simple as a coffee. Choose Texas when you join and we will show you members near you, and others a pleasant drive away. Texans are well known for their friendliness, and our members are no different, so do not be shy about saying hello first.

      Gentle first-date ideas in Texas

      San Antonio River Walk

      The shaded paths beside the river are flat, lively and full of benches and cafes. Go on a weekday morning for a quieter feel. The walkways have steps in places, but there are many easy stretches, and shade from the cypress trees.

      Dallas Arboretum

      Beside White Rock Lake, the arboretum is a colourful series of gardens that suits a long, slow wander and easy talk. It is best seen in spring or autumn, when the flowers are at their most colourful.

      Hermann Park, Houston

      Close to the Museum District, this park has a Japanese garden, a lake and shady paths, and museums are nearby if the weather changes. There is a quiet corner to sit in, and the setting is calm for a first conversation.

      Lady Bird Lake, Austin

      The trail around the lake in the middle of Austin is popular and scenic, and you can walk just a short stretch before sitting for a coffee. Benches along the way make it easy to rest, and the skyline views are a pleasure.

      Seasons and weather

      Spring is the favourite season, when bluebonnets and other wildflowers colour the roadsides, usually in March and April. Autumn is also mild and pleasant. Summers are very hot across most of the state, so plan mornings, evenings or somewhere air-conditioned. Winter is mostly mild, though the Panhandle and north can turn cold and icy quickly, so check the forecast. Along the coast, hurricane season runs from June to November. Even in January there can be warm afternoons, so layers are always worth packing.

      Local flavour

      Barbecue brisket, Tex-Mex enchiladas, breakfast tacos, pecan pie and kolaches from the Czech bakeries of central Texas all feature in local life. Ask your match where to find the best of whichever they like, and prepare for strong opinions. Whatever your tastes, Texas has a food festival or county fair nearby somewhere, so ask what your match has enjoyed.

      Questions about dating in Texas

      Can I meet widowed singles near me in Texas?

      Members join from across the USA, including Texas. Choose Texas when you sign up and pick the city nearest to you, and we will show you members close by. Because the state is so large, many people start with someone in their own region. Many people also use the site to meet halfway between cities such as Dallas and Austin, which suits drivers well.

      What is a good first date in Texas?

      Choose a relaxed, public place that is easy to leave: a stroll beside the San Antonio River Walk, a visit to the Dallas Arboretum, or a short walk by Lady Bird Lake in Austin. Between May and September, go early or pick somewhere with air conditioning. Texas weather can change quickly, so check the forecast and carry water.

      Is it free to join?

      Yes. Creating your profile is free and no card is needed. Some features, such as unlimited private messaging, need a VIP membership. You can see prices on our pricing page.
