My social life is starting to crumble :(

you used the words "knitting" and "romance" in the same paragraph, WHAT ARE YOU ON?

look, the OP may like older ladies, to which he needs to go to knitting clubs
 
Get a hobby (non-pc related)
You will meet like-minded people and could become friends. I personally have surfed many years, and have met countless people through it, from all over the world, with whom I still have contact/go out with.

if you're having serious trouble, then try this website:

http://www.dontstayin.com

find a place you'd like to go to, music you'd like to hear, spark up a few conversations and go hit the tiles with people who like the same music.
it isn't a dating site!!!!! merely just a place for clubbers etc to organise a good meet...similar idea to car meets, LAN parties etc
 
Happens to all of us at some point, but thats just one of life's changes.

When I left college, my mates gone to uni or got a job. A few live away at Huddersfield uni, so dont see them much. I chilled out for a year or so, getting drunk most of the time. The people who went Uni, made new friends and the people who worked made new friends too at work. I got a job and kept it for a year before I left. I had a good group of friends there, always going out, dont see them that much now. Thier wifes / GF's have got them under the thumb. Me and another mate, kept them at the pub everynight, instead of them being at home playing happy families, got the blame :p

Meeting my GF, brought me some new friends. Friends of hers. Ive got about 5 close friends that Ive known since I can remember. We do our own thing but do go out often and stuff. Not many friends, but they are true friends. trust them with your life. Ive had other 'friends' that you cant trust...

Before I started to go to a pub near me. About 15 mins walk away. There are pubs closer but I decided to made this my local. I started to play abit of pool in there. Wacth football matches and stuff. Just hanging out, even on my own when everyone is 'busy'. I soon started to get to know guy's on the pool team, dart team, regular football watchers etc. The people who owned the pub and all the bar staff. I even dated an ex GF who worked behind the bar, but lets not go there ;) I got to know all the regular's that go in really and became like a second home, with me just having a little joke with them got us talking. Once people see you a few times, they tend to say, "theres that guy again" or something along those lines. Soon enough, they are wanting to know your name and your friends...

Sounds hard, but just being your self in public places is the way to go. I also got some mates that I play a bit of pool with down a the local snooker hall. You would be suprised how you can just get talking to someone.
