If you want to meet people, you have to free up some time. Even if you don't want to meet people, you should free up some time; that you can't figure out how to solve this suggests you have no energy for imagination and creativity. Since you're working 60-70 hours per week, your employer probably expects that. So change jobs, and possibly change cities. You don't have to have your current job situation, and it's hurting you. 300K is just a number. You would probably do better to reduce your expenses (more time would allow you to cook for yourself, by the way, which has numerous benefits). Apartment, car lease/payments, subscriptions to stuff you don't use (cable?), all of that should go. Small apartment, small reliable used car, get rid of HBO, etc. Save as much money as you comfortably can: short term cash savings, medium term CDs and the like, long term index funds and the like, and max out your 401K or IRA. When you have enough FY money, tell whoever's in front of you to FY (politely), and spend more time working on what you like in a job/activity that allows that. Live a life that's enjoyable, and you'll find someone that enjoys that life too.
