1) Put yourself out there. Get involved in activities you care about and try to meet people. Network through your friends and family. Take a chance and ask potential partners out. You will never get anywhere if you don't try. 2) Build friendships before looking for a relationship. It's generally much easier to find friends than a partner. A relationship isn't the solution to loneliness -- friends are. 3) Be someone people want to date. Find some interesting hobbies. Identify your flaws and work on fixing them. 4) Set realistic expectations. Your mental idea of what it will be like to have a steady partner is a lot different than what it's really like, so don't filter out potential partners too soon. Give things a change to develop.
