Meeting women my own age/interests

[indysteel]

Whatever you choose to do--and I think all of the above are great suggestions--be prepared to make the first (and second and third moves) with people. Don't wait for people to come to you or to invite you out. Be pushier and more forward than you otherwise might want to be. And say yes to as much as you safely can, even if it's a bit outside your comfort zone.

To the above suggestions, I'd add joining a local YMCA. I'd suggest the Y over other gyms because they often offer social activities, too. Make use of social media, too, with respect to anything you join or are interested in. That will keep you attuned to events, impromptu gatherings and the like.
