Tad -- have you tried meetup.com? Whatever your interests, there is a group (or 2 or 3 or 4) for you. It's a great way to get back out there and make some new friends. Everyone is in the same boat -- everyone goes to their first meetup at some point. I found everyone to be so welcoming. I've gone to some really fun events. It helped me a lot over the past few months. After a while, you kind of get the hang of it, and meeting new people becomes second-nature.

One foot in front of the other, Tad. Just DO it.
