When attending a new social function, take a companion along if you feel
uncomfortable about the occasion. Smile, ask others about themselves, and let
others know about your interests, hobbies, or goals.
* Keep trying, even if you feel awkward at first. Make contacts with new
acquaintances more than once. It takes time to discover each others'
interests, values and goals.
* Nurture friendships through continuing contact: phone calls, letters, and
personal visits. Share experiences, memories and plans for the future. Plan
activities that you can both enjoy.
* Create your own opportunities. For example: begin a neighborhood weekly
get together ; join or organize a walking club; volunteer to help
with a local organization; organize a discussion group on literature,
religion, or politics; get a dog and take it for walks; teach someone a hobby
or skill, (woodworking, needlework, etc.)

I've learned the most people I've met have been through either my college or my jobs.
You can "meet" people anywhere there are other people, but usually at a job you get to know them a little better as you see them more frequently.
You can meet people at bars, coffee shops, etc. People are creatures of habit, so if they go one place and feel comfortable, they will usually go back. Typically at about the same time, on the same day. (i.e., coffee every morning at Starbucks, grocery store every Sat. morning, etc.). Just pay attention to your own habits and you'll see most others are the same.
