Have you thought about doing volunteer work? Places to try are hospitals (the gift shop), area agencies, or even schools. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and it gives you a chance to share an interest. What about maybe starting a book club? You could post ads around town to see if there is an interest. Are their any children's play groups near you? What about attending any local performances that small towns sometimes offer. I live in a small town that has a local theater group and though I don't have the courage to perform on stage I like attending the performances. They also have live music concerts in our park or in the local theater which if your town has anything similar would be a place to socialize. (These activites are often free or very cheap) Also taking a class or workshop might be an idea. Often high schools offer adult classes and workshops in all kinds of things from fly tying and basket weaving to calligraphy or sign language. Is there a community college near by? Taking a class there might also be a chance to make new friends. Hope this helps.
