      The nation's capital is full of memorials, but for those who have lost a husband or wife, the busiest city can still feel lonely. If you live in the District or in the surrounding area, you will find a quiet, understanding community here. Our members are retired teachers, former civil servants, nurses, neighbours and friends who have all experienced loss and want to talk, laugh and perhaps love again.

      Gentle first-date ideas in Washington DC

      A stroll on the National Mall

      Wide gravel paths, shade trees and views of monuments make an easy walk. Pick a short stretch, and sit by the Reflecting Pool if you tire. Food trucks and benches are usually nearby.

      The U.S. National Arboretum

      Hundreds of acres of trees, gardens and meadows in the northeast of the city, with a calm atmosphere. Check the Arboretum's website for parking and public transport options before you go. Take time over the azalea displays in spring.

      The Smithsonian museums

      The Smithsonian museums in DC are free to enter, though a few popular ones ask for a free timed pass, so check each museum's website before you go. You can choose one that interests you both, and it is a nice setting for conversation as you drift from room to room.

      Georgetown waterfront

      Walk beside the Potomac, then head up into the historic streets for coffee. The C&O Canal towpath is close if you want a longer wander. There are benches facing the water.

      Seasons and weather

      Spring in DC is famous for cherry blossoms, which draw crowds, so go early in the day. Summers are hot and sticky, and indoor museums come into their own. Autumn is crisp and pleasant for walking. Winters are cool, with occasional snow, which can pause the city for a day or two. Early mornings are usually the calmest at any time of year.

      Local flavour

      Half-smokes at a local counter, Maryland blue crab, Ethiopian restaurants along U Street and market-fresh produce make DC a fun food city. Ask your match what they would recommend and why. A walk past street food stalls often turns into a debate over the best lunch.
