 I think people come along when you are least expecting them. If you look specificaly for a partner, you may look depserate or be too critical, seeing everyone as a potential mate. Perhaps you could join a class at college, go to a culture group such as an artistic visits, whatever is YOUR thing. Just strike a conversation with people around when it is appropriate and smile. Just getting out and about and doing new things will fill your life, give you more interesting things to talk about and opportunities to meet new friends including men without that 'date' pressure. Going alone makes you more accessable too as when you are with someone, new people who may also be alone may feel they are intruding.
