I think all the work you're doing on yourself is awesome, but you need to have some fun to. Everybody does.

Can I suggest meetup.com - It's not a dating site. If you're in any kind of urban centre in north America, your city will probably have a meetup site. The groups are people who want to get together around a common interest or activity. I use meetup a lot, and have really met some great people through it. I'm single, never married, and in my mid 40's, so we sound like we have some similarities. Through meetup, I've joined a book club, joined a bowling league, found 2 different meditation groups that I meet with semi regularly, joined a purely social group that organizes things like euchre and trivia nights, and a dinner club that goes out for dinner to a different ethnic restaurant every month. The nice thing, I find with meetup is the majority of people using it, want to meet other people, so everyone is friendly, and you have a common activity or interest to get the conversation going. I agree with you that as an adult, making new friends is hard, but I find this to be a really good way to meet people.
