I don't think you want random people, but those that have interests similar to you? What do you like? I have met people online in groups and then in person after I've gotten to know them online; do you belong to any groups online that have local, in-person chapters? I would go to the library and get various free advertisements and "magazines" there that say what's happening in your community, maybe I'd volunteer http://www.volunteermatch.org/ and see if I could meet someone there, take a course sponsored by the county rec center or community college continuing ed, etc.
