There basically is. Meetup.com does what you are looking for. People without any common interests are boring to spend time with. You need at least something in common. I move all the time and every time I move to a new city I try to find a board game group and a Linux User Group. I'm not super into Linux anymore (I used to be a Systems Administrator) but I can help new users and the people are geeky and people that I often get on with. In the past I have joined Toastmasters groups. They are good with a much more varried group of people going to them. The point is the people then connect you with other people.
