Social aspects of cruising and living-aboard

[GreyBeardVA]

I'll soon be joining the ranks of live-aboard cruisers. My plan is to live in a marina for 1,2, or 3 months per year as necessary to allow me to earn some $$. I've read everything I can find on budgeting for the change and believe that I currently have sufficient resources to purchase the boat and to finance frugal-to-moderate living expenses for the rest of my life (obviously, there are assumptions); however, I do not want to completely sever myself from work for another 2-3 years (I'm 51 this year and wanted to continuing working PT until 55).

I have lingering questions about expectations:
I live alone but occasionally date; what expectations should I have for dating in the cruising / live-aboard community? I'm not looking for a new wife just someone willing to clean the head, do the dishes and laundry, etc. Seriously, if any women are reading this I am joking. Is there any hope of meeting like-minded single women without trying to convert a land-bound woman.

Thanks for any insights.
