Do you have a county park or anything? Go there and walk and you would be surprised at how many people you can meet. Not only are you meeting people, you are getting healthy also.
Strike up a conversation with one of those "Paris wannabes" and see what happens. She may know some people that enjoy doing different things and include you. I am not saying go on a date or anything. She may have a friend or brother or something in the same boat as you. You never know until you try. Get out there and do something the "old" you wouldn't do.
