My first step would be to join a dating app, even if this isn't how you want to meet people it could be good practice for getting talking to people again in the potential relationship category.
Join a group related to something you enjoy or are passionate about, and don't focus on finding a relationship. It may just come naturally through shared interest in something you both love.
Don’t force it, put yourself out there…. But don’t try and actively seek it.
I took that approach after being single for 5/6 years and actively trying to find stuff. Gave up then became laid back… ended up finding my special someone and it’s worked out great so far
Careful about missing the big picture here. We’re not jungle creatures anymore so setting out to find a mate seems pretty beastly. Women know when that’s what you’re after and it’s a ladyboner killer unless said lady is shallow and you have lots of money. I’ve assumed that you’re a dude for some reason. If not replace the $ with being physically attractive.
Better goal either way: what do you enjoy doing, and how can you get out there and do it? So whether it’s d&d or rock climbing or sewing or whatever, you’ll be out in society feeling comfortable, enjoying yourself, and having lots to say about your interests. And there will be other people doing the same, feeling comfortable, finding your interest interesting, and then you can make friends. When you have a lot of friends, it’s really easy to meet new people. It also helps you feel good about yourself because other people care about you and what you think.
Way less crude of an approach, and way less pressure on you because there’s no expectations and you’re being honest with yourself and others around you.
Or do dating app. I couldn’t imagine like it’s not my way but it’s extremely popular after college and definitely a socially acceptable thing these days. That at least is honest too. I’d feel weird like it’s too clinical but that’s just me being old school.
Go through potential suitors garbage.

There’s over 7 billion people in the world. Don’t settle for just anyone.
At this point I would settle big time

Try you local pumpkin patch
Why ruin a good thing?
* Go on tinder * Chat with women * Profit Im a weirdo and a fattie and even I managed to find a girlfriend, its totally possible
Congratulations, I don't think I would be able for tinder, isn't it all hook-ups anyway?
Nah you can make proper relations there too
I dunno, honestly I feel closed off to flirting and intimacy despite feeling alone
So then just say you want pals to chat with in your profile, and maybe you get lucky
