Can you volunteer somewhere? I've met some great people through volunteering. There are often crisis hotlines, homeless shelters, mentoring clubs, food share programs, etc. in most communities. Or you can volunteer at after school programs, or for museums, or sports organizations (be a coach or ref), or lots of other places. Just think of the types of things that are important to you, and you might be able to find something.
Also, are there any classes you could take? For fun, I mean. Like, a foreign language class, or a pottery class, or a swimming class, or learn to play guitar, or something along those lines?
It's also sometimes easier to meet people through church groups or other spiritual activities, or political organizations. And then you generally find folks who are somewhat likeminded.
Just some ideas. I know it takes some guts to put yourself out there like that, but in my own experience, these types of activities can make life a lot more enjoyable once you get over the hump of being the new person.
good luck!
