Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of quarters or half dollars are $500. You don't have to buy the whole box. The bank can pull out whatever amount you like.
Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin album and try to fill all the holes (get one for each year) or just search for interesting ones.
The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same coins over and over). Everything you find will have been obtained at face value. You'd be surprised what people have found. Check out these links to see:

Also check your change for interesting finds.
Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with the "S" mintmark - it could be a proof coin etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure!
It's also helpful to buy a red book. It can help you price your coins and will answer many of the questions you may have.
OR IF THAT'S NOT FOR YOU...

Try looking at the local community centre or whatever you're community has. There's usually stuff posted regarding local book clubs, upcoming markets, recreational and competitive sporting teams. Joining a recreational team sport is a good idea, not only does it get you out and about meeting people but the exercise is good for you. Get fit, pump endorphins you'll love it. And you don't even need to join anything competitive just take it easy if you want join an aerobics or dance class. Something that keeps you're blood pumping.
hope this helped.

You can go to www.poolplayers.com and find a local pool league in your area. They have 250,000 active members in the United States and Canada. Playing pool is inexpensive and you will be surrounded by a great group of folks that will help you get started with the game. And don't worry, they are average players for the most part and are just out to meet people and have a good time like you. You can reach me at life_loverfl@yahoo.com if you need anymore help with playing pool.

Try rubber stamping!
Don't spend too much money on supplies when you are first starting out. Check a local thrift store, or look around your home and see all the different types of things you can use as stamps, or to stamp on.

Try searching other people's answers to this question. Someone asks virtually every day, and it's much the same people answering each time.
http://www.sca.org is my major hobby. Lots of fun and I'm learning heaps of new craft things.

If making friends is the goal, you can join a club like Camprfire Girls, Scouting or Rainbow, or volunteer to be a candy-striper at the local hospital.
