Jay, my experience has been that when I am not looking, someone turns up.
Maybe you are "looking too hard". I know I've read other posts where you seemed really stressed out and anxious over meeting someone. Do you think that the women pick up on that? The girl that you felt close to probably felt it and knew she could move on that.Try to relax and don't put yourself out there so much. Do you have activities that you could take part in, like forums, lectures, etc.? UT always has really good programs and they are free. We can actually take any class the university offers and it doesn't cost. If you aren't in the class for credits, most schools will let you "sit in". I find that I enjoy the people in those classes because no one is going nuts trying to not get an "F". :-)
Do you have Habitat for Humanity there? It is a fantastic organization and here in my area as many women as men work on the houses. And we are doing something good for someone else.
Step 12 in Al Anon says "we're at our best when we are helping others". I probably butchered the quote but I know you catch the meaning.
