@Punisher1976 When I was younger there used to be singles dances on the weekends that friends of mine would go to. If they are still happening, try this as a way to meet others. Above all, do not come across as desperate, that scares some people. Join a group that does something you enjoy, astronomy, hiking, tours, something that helps you meet people with similar interests. Just go out and have fun, when you stop looking for a soul mate, you often find them.
