I'm definitely looking for ways to 'put myself out there' and improve my chances - all suggestions welcome. I wonder if it really is as simple as being the one to take the first step in everyday situations...
I think it best to do those things you enjoy. Enthusiasm is contagious, after all, and even if you don't meet somebody on any particular outing...you are sure to enjoy yourself.

I also don't discount the value of my same-sex friends. Any one of them could end up introducing me to somebody I end of loving someday.

I'd say I'm pretty terrible at this. My hobbies can be enjoyed solo, but even when undertaken socially they are overwhelmingly male-dominated.

I don't really hang out with casual acquaintances from work (also male-dominated); their methodology is largely focused on the bar scene and I don't drink anymore. My small group of like-minded friends are 1000 miles away in South Florida, and my investigations into relevant subcultures in this metro area haven't generated new contacts.

I have a very focused, objective-driven approach to anything I do, and a stoic demeanor that doesn't exactly exude approachability. All of that means that my new habit of lounging around used book stores and nearby coffee shops is unlikely to yield results either. I think I'll stick with it anyway; a change of scenery is always nice, and making a dent in my stack of unread books is worth the effort.
