There are lots of places to find social life. But, as a rather old geek, I can say that most geeks need to do something to make themselves more attractive, especially to the opposite sex, after they get to such places. Here are some suggestions: (1) Develop an interest in music. You don't have to become a musician. Just learn to enjoy music and learn about music. If you can't stand the hip-hop and rock and roll, choose jazz or even classical music. A girl might even ask you to take her to a concert. (2) Learn to dance. I have not yet met a woman who does not want to be asked to dance. (3) Develop interest in some topic of broad social importance. Examples are politics, healthcare, Supreme Court. A woman I had just met at a party, asked me if I would take her to a coffeehouse that was active in draft resistance and where I volunteered in the evenings while working as a full-time computer programmer. A year later, we were married. 40 years later, we are still married. (4) Learn about wine, especially the kind novice wine aficionados like, slightly sweet white wines.
There are many things you can do that would round you out as a complete person and would be of interest to women who are not necessarily interested in computers.
