Just wanted to let you guys know that because of this thread, I spent the last week putting myself out there and talking to random people. Met quite a few and I’ll try to keep in touch with some of them. I also signed up for Habitat and another volunteer organization; now I just have to wait for them to get started. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. We’ll see how it goes 🙂 ---

Strong suggestion: martial arts lessons. You’ll be doing a fun activity with people who share the same interest - a guaranteed icebreaker. Email me your zipcode and I’ll try to find you some good schools in the area. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-me-get-a-freaking-life/352869.md?page=2)
