Really, you just need to start going out more. Make it a point to accept invitations for drinks, parties etc. and take things from there.

For me personally, a major turning point in my life was beginning martial arts 20+ years ago. This fully absorbed me and opened up a new world with new people in, people that I respected immensely and wanted to emulate. Though I wasn't lacking in confidence, nevertheless my confidence level shot up higher. I think finding something that truly challenges you is important to enjoying life. Most of life is not challenging, it is routine and provides no chance for insight or real introspection. Find something and someone (a mentor) who will push you in a direction you wish to go in.

I did do a martial art for 2.5 years when i was in my teens and i loved it, perhaps when i move i can find another style to try. I agree a mentor would be cool, but how does one go ahead finding one?
