okay.
sounds like a wonderful moving in present could be a puppy or a kitten. whichever way inclined you are. something to come home to. that would be happy to see you. a bundle of warm fur. that licks tears.
coming home to an empty house is hard for most people, i think. even me... who mostly prefers solitude... who intentionally runs away and hides... has trouble coming home to an empty house sometimes. will turn on the television or radio (though i draw the line at talkback) for the sound of human voices...
meetings sound like a good idea. nice to have that. have you thought about something like group fitness classes? i say that just because it is kinda like meetings in the sense of being something that occurs regularly and you can make it or not make it as you see fit (so not too much social pressure). just as... something to do... with the potential to meet people like yourself...
i think maybe that is the thing...
the US is fairly different from this part of the world with respect to more of an eating out culture. i guess it is a bit hard because you mentioned AA... but i was fairly surprised at how as a female i could make the local bar / eatery my own hang out space and the bartender / waitresses job seemed to be to... uh... socially facilitate. somewhat. so there would be a bunch of people who would eat / hang out there regularly. sorta like 'cheers' ha. anyway... the bar thing is hard... but it sorta worked for the company... pool... whatever...
or work... depending... departmental seminars etc etc. everyone seems to want a lively seminar series with hanging out and entertaining the speaker but nobody seems to want to step up and organise it... or whatever...
some kind of... hobby... photography... some people get into art... i don't know. if you are interested in indie rpg's i really reccommend 'avernum: escape from the pit'. it starts pretty slow (IMHO) but things are picking up considerably with some decent AOE spells from the mages and (surprisingly enough, but making me happy) the priest, too...
