I’m looking for French people to converse with, but the internet seems to be hiding them all from me… anyone know of good sites full of Frenchies? 
Do you mean like thishttp://copainsdavant.com/ http://copainsdavant.linternaute.com/groupe/liste_groupe/?
A friend used to be on here. I know nothing else about it though, as my french is very limited.
Also, there may be a meetup.com group for francophiles in your area. The same friend met some college students from France while he was here on meetup.com.
