Have you consider visiting the nude beach in Austin? I always found church - grocery store looking lost - teacher's lounge (carry a sign that tells other teachers that you are lonely - at least one of them has a niece/nephew). Have you told all of your relatives? Or consider returning to school to work on another degree (all work and no play makes...) - join the local Rotary or Lions club. run marathons. Are you close enough to someplace to play in a community band or jazz group? Or do what I did - marry your 8th grade sweetheart. Good Luck. M
