Do what Maeve says-go places where people are enjoying themselves and enjoy yourself. If you're having a good time, people will want to connect with you--go to the beach with friends, go ride bikes, or horses, walk your dog, or someone else's dog, join a choir, go bowling, enter a chili cook-off--or, wait! Did someone mention this already? Join a Meetup group!!!!

Whatever you do, you should understand that staring men's wedding bands on the bus and wishing they weren't married is what they call a zero-sum game.
