Personally, I went consistently to specific social groups regularly (for months at a time). Eventually you get to know other regulars and one or two or more will become a bond with you. Then invite them out for lunches or dinners. Suddenly you unofficially have a lunch with them weekly or every other week. Maybe group chats over coffee. Texting about work. Etc.
