Meeting people

I was talking with a good friend about 3 years ago. He was mentioning
that some of his friends were graduating and not being "attached"
yet...and how they were nervous about it. I'm beginning to understand
what he was talking about.
My sister got married last weekend. And that has triggered lots of
mixed feelings in me.
On the one hand, I wish I had a girlfriend to spend time with. I seem
to be just working, eating, and sleeping these days; occasionally
having fun on weekends. It doesn't feel like enough, and having someone
special to be with would probably help a lot.
On the other hand, I really have no clue how to meet women. And MIT
isn't really the best place to be looking, either (w.r.t. ratios).
I know many women as friends, but I'm not convinced that any of the
friendships could turn into "something special", and I'm also hesitant
to try, for fear of spoiling the existing friendship.
The result is that I'm doubly frustrated at myself, and it only ends up
depressing me.
Blargh.
