I met my fiancee at an event in San Francisco called Nerd Nite (sf.nerdnite.com). I was waiting in line with a coworker (D) to get in, and my coworker's friend (P) showed up, and then this cute girl joins P, and we make our introductions. I thought she was dating P, but she was really into me for the rest of the night, and so the next day I FB stalked her and asked her out. It took awhile to get a response, but she finally responded and we set up a date at East Bay Nerd Nite (eastbay.nerdnite.com), and the rest is history.
My advice is generally to just go do things you think are fun. Don't go with the mindset of "maybe I'll meet someone," but instead just go with the mindset of "I'm gonna go have a good time and talk to people and generally step out of my comfort zone." And the odds are great that if you make one new friend, you'll get to meet all their friends eventually, and if you become friends with any of those people, you'll meet all those friends, and so on. It's a viral effect, basically, and eventually you'll meet some women, and eventually, one of those women will be interested in you.
And my second piece of advice is that if you decide you like a woman romantically, ask her out as soon as you make that realization. If she's a relatively new acquaintance, then if she rejects you, it's no big loss, and there's a greater chance you'll both get over it and move on. If it's an older friend, then you're risking your entire friendship (and potentially the entire group). Anyway. I digress.
TL;DR: Go do fun things, talk to everyone, even if they aren't your age.
Good luck. :)
