Take a class, either academic or on an interest or hobby. (Cooking classes highly recommended, BTW.) Join a gym or try a Jazzercise class. Volunteer for a political or social cause. Work on Habitat for Humanity. Attend your city’s or town’s council meetings. Essentially, create situations for yourself where the nature of what you’re doing means interacting, or has the potential for interacting, with others who are doing it, too. Some of them will be women.

This doesn’t mean you should learn to crochet or attend bible study if that’s not what you’re interested in doing, of course. It means to actively pursue your interests and to be open to new ones, so you’re not just going home and turning on the TV very many evenings and weekends.

There are loads of great women looking for you. Make yourself visible.
