You should consider joining a club. For example, a bunch of my friends play soccer every Saturday. Another bunch organize a writer's circle once a month. Find out what your friends are up to and meet their friends/acquaintances.

If they're not doing anything, suggest something new. Start your own circle doing whatever you love to do. Or, if all else fails, take a continuing ed course at a local college, or a dance class. Get a dog, go to dog parks, dog shows. Grab a friend and get out there. Hopefully you have enough time on weekends. If not, look for a new job! good luck

unless youre up for blind dates with people your friends know you're not gonna meet anybody... sorry... you have to be open to meeting people anywhere (grocery store, bar, church, where ever)

you went to church just to meet guys!!!!?????
That is not why you go to church. Church is for worshipping and praising, not for hooking up!!!!!!!

Okat church no, work don't do it never mix business and pleasure, you gotta kind of just wait for it to happen, thats how my wife and I of 5 years got together, just out of the blue.

Park your car on the shoulder of a highway, pop the hood and act helpless. Every guy who considers himself an automotive expert (that should narrow it down to a few million) will soon be at your disposal.

at work also by becoming involved in activities in your community. volunteer to be on a commitee and such. also join groups that have alot of men in them. i once went to a ham radio group meeting and was about the only female there.

Find something you're passionate about and join a club. Might actually meet someone with similar interests.

Sounds like your ready for the third tier. Bowling alleys, sports arenas, book stores, and men are approachable in a grocery store more so than women.

Certainly not in AMZ10101's church, her milk of human kindness seems a little sour!
How about you try volunteering, it may well tie in well with your working life, and get you in contact with people who care and actually do something tangible and positive in the community.
Having to do say ,First Aid or working in a charity shop, might boost your confidence and lessen your shyness (but don't lose it!, it is an admirable quality, and facet of you, there are too many brash and forthright, opinionated people, who stand on soapboxes, or cling to pulpits)
The curious thing about this life is that when you most need something or someone, or want to feel that need, there are so many opportunities, you just need to cast your net and you will be fulfilled. the tricky part, is to nurture the tiddlers, till they become big fish for you, and to have the wisdom to not get a rotten one.
So surrounding yourself with good people is an excellent start.
And do post as soon as you get a strike!
Good Luck

Take some adult education classes, shopping malls, grocery stores. You may have to take the first step but a convenient ice breaker is asking for directions and build the conversation from there. You'll know if the guy seems interested.

I would say clubs and mutual friends. Volunteering also works. That way you start out with both of you sharing at least one common interest.

grocery stores are good, if that's something in common it means that both of are hungry.
good luck
