the best solution in my experience is to adopt or recreate common meeting places. I've met more awesome people at my friends' place because they deliberately welcome visitors and people to hang out who they like and are awesome, and it's a totally low pressure, fun environment. Not everyone is comfortable creating this kind of environment in their home but it works really well if you are, from what I've seen
Supposedly sociologists think there are three conditions necessary for making new friends: "proximity; repeated, unplanned interactions; and a setting that encourages people to let their guard down and confide in each other" (source).
