Well were all your friends women?  What I've found is that I have more fun
if I hang around with a mixed gender crowd.  That way there is less pressure 
pick up or be picked up.  I was a late bloomer, and never did enjoy the scene
at bars until is started taking swing dance lessons.  Now I have a bunch of
friends I hang with when I go to these places, and the emphasis is on having 
a good time.  Couples form naturally and over a period of several weeks or 
months ( not in the course of 3 hours ! ;-p )  [Though it hasn't worked for me
yet ;-]

I started a group a few years ago called "For the Fun of It".  It was never
very organized but we have done a lot of fun things together over the last
13 or so years.  We race cars, spelunk, hold dances, have killer parties,
buy fun toys (boats etc), went to the world fair once, climb mountains, play
games.  

I think that we might be able to start something here which could work like
that.  The best part about this group is that it is brand new, and so it can
be anything we want it to be!

cheers!
