I don’t know if this answer will appeal to you or not but…consider visiting a local church, especially one that has an adult Sunday school class. There’s usually a lot of nice people, active singles classes with activities, opportunities to give back and volunteer, meet other people and learn.

I know people respond with various degrees of emotion to a suggestion like that, but in my experience it’s usually the place where you discover why it feels like there’s an empty hole in your life and what it takes to fill it.
