I've met some friends swing dancing, so consider it somewhat recommended.

I don't know where you are, but you could try starting a local LW meetup group, that sometimes works for me.

I don't know what your housing situation is, but if it's currently not contributing to your social life, consider moving into a group house either of people you'd like to get closer with, or with some selection process that makes them likely to be compatible with you.

Thanks for the comment.

We already have a local LW meetup, and many of my local friends I've met through there. It's a small but highly appreciated group.

The group house idea is excellent. I have read of a number of houses in the area targeting people with certain lifestyles (vegan, recovering alcoholics, etc.) but I never looked that closely into them. Nor have I considered looking for a group house that might not have explicit goals but be composed of people I'd find interesting. I'll take a closer look.
