      I have always done my best in cases like this but have to admit I 
have yet found a way of allowing this kind of situation to happen often.  
I do think what you can do in situations like this, is to take steps that 
allow this i.e. strick up a conversation with a person at a store, maybe 
at a coffee shop you are at.  Have a friend over and have them invite one 
other person.  I think in general the more you limit yourself, the more 
daring you may have to be in order to meet up with folks and of course 
less likely to meet up with people.  Any ideas or insights from others?
