Edit: Just made myself reply to all three of them. One lives too far away, one's borderline, one's close, so.... (crosses fingers)

have you checked out meetup.com? i've met some awesome people through a group I found on there, they have stuff going on just about every weekend that I attend. Was at one last night, the labyrinth walk I mentioned earlier. I meet somebody new just about every time I go, there are LOTS of folks who are members of the group but not everyone goes to everything so it's always a varied group. I've been spending time with this group of folks for a year now and have made some good friends; I consider them my soul family, and it's been very very good for me as far as learning how to be a social creature. Before current go-around of therapy, I only ever made friends at work, and so going to my first meet-up a year ago was my very first attempt really at making friends outside of work as an adult. It has gone VERY well so far!! Good luck with finding new friends in any case!
