Find some ways to meet people doing the same activities you enjoy.  Like bowling? Join a coed league at the local bowling alley.  Like movies? See if your area has local meet ups for going to see movies.  Your interests aren't boring, you just need to figure out how to find other people who share those interests.

And don't forget - the people you are looking for are doing the same thing. They're also trying to figure out where "people they'd like" might hang out. They're not all looking for romantic purposes, but some probably are, and there's hardly a downside to making friends along the way.

In fact, as you get old like me, in-person friends become more important. But between work and raising a family it gets harder to find the time to build those friendships. No matter how old you are, start now.
