25 mentioned Meetup.com. It is for groups of people setting up activities for folks to get together. You can put in something you want to do: like hike, take photos, concert. Then it tells you when someone has planed an activity. It isn't a dating site.
I haven't gone to anything yet, but plan to!
One of the groups I was too old to join had an activity that was attending the art/flea sale I am pert of. That made me smile, because I met so many nice folks there!
I also really like your goal to be less fearful. I was thinking in bed this morning and realized that I shouldn't be so afraid of change. Thanks for reinforcing that!
Have a good weekend!
