That's a great idea I always forget about. A friend of mine in NC met a lot of nice women through various meet-up groups in the local area. There was one just for women of a certain age who wanted to go out for a glass of wine and lady-chat from time to time, one for her dog's breed, one for people with a particular psychological issue... there are ALL kinds of meet-up groups -- crafts, music, sports, book lovers, the list goes on -- it's really quite amazing.
