I’m in my 50’s and my world has become small. I have my husband and one friend. Other than joining a church, how do people make friends in our age group, without seeming weird or awkward? 😬

Helps to pursue a new interest, meet people who share the interest and become friends. You may not know what outside interests would do that so it may take a few tries.
Learn ok around your community to see what is s happening. Take a community education class to explore even if it is simple such as making dour dough bread, welding art pieces, outdoor first aid or anything offered that seems interesting.
What is good where you are? Boating, natural trails, knitting groups, gym classes, photography or painting?
Look into volunteer activities that interest you and try that on.
Check out small businesses run by one or two people.
That may show you what your community will support and where you might learn a new skill.
Volunteering. Anything from charity fun runs to helping out at the food bank to cleaning up local waters to Hands Off protests. Whatever causes or needs you care about. There are book clubs and fraternal/social organizations like Elks too, but I personally prefer doing projects to discussing issues.
Head on over to a local bingo game
