I don't even want to get into dating. Unless I want to try to pick up women in bars there isn't much opportunity
You don't sound like you're anywhere near ready to start dating yet. But when you ARE, there's this dandy new invention called INTERNET DATING! Yes, I know, you hear lots of crazy stories, but this is also where a whole lot of normal people like me meet their partners these days. If you really want to date, there is plenty of opportunity out there.
(Just wait until you're ready - you don't sound like you are.)
