so ive been searching around looking maybe into volunteering to meet people. On my search here i stumbled on to friend to friend america http://www.friendtofriendamerica.org/
Basically visit old people in nursing home. Although i would prefer to meet people around my age this volunteer group intrigues me a little. However the only problem is im not the greatest conversation starter nor am i the greatest "oh hey this is getting boring lets do something/change the topic" guy either.
In fact i dont even have a clue what to even talk about with a elderly person since i already have problems keeping a sub par interesting subject with another person my age.
I was wondoring if anyone ever volunteered for this group or did something simular and how it went for you
