Start by going to a bar and just being there. Become sort of a regular. It's very easy to do and you don't need to do anything demanding or anything you don't want to do. Just sit there and be around people. You don't need to talk if you don't want to. Natural conversations and connections just happen. Don't force it. Be patient. If you are there long enough you will become a regular and meet other people in your neighborhood. From there you can branch out into other activities; just the act of being around people will open up doors that you didn't think were there.
