Anyway, it's not like I got my heart set on her, but I'm just not meeting anyone outside of work. What do people do for that these days? Bars are terrible so I gave up on them, and Internet dating isn't really a thing here, there's only a couple of women on OKC that live within reasonable driving distance.
Get outside, meet new people meet their friends. Change what you do in your free time and you often meet new people.
Go to partys your family and friends are hosting, even if they are going to be "lame" I had this exact problem until I started comming out of my shell, and I ended up meeting a lovely girl as crazy as I am.
What Im saying is if you arnt meeting many girls you are interested in its because you are sticking to your daily rituals

The problem with me is that I'm sort of an introverted extrovert. I hate people, but I crave social interaction. It doesn't work out in my favor...

This...
This describes me fairly well.  I'm too introverted to reach out to the people around me, but I really want to interact with people.

I'm not 20 any more. My friends are too busy raising families to be throwing parties. In fact, nobody really has much time for hanging out these days, and going out on town all by myself is just sad.

Throw parties yourself then?

Edit: In my experience, people with kids crave hanging out just like everyone else. It might just be that the way your friends like to hang out has changed, after all, I'm sure you didn't hang out at 16 like you do at 20, might just be the same thing.

Well, I moved here about three months ago, so I know maybe two or three people outside of work. Not that I could afford to throw a party, after rent and utilities I barely have enough for food.

You dont need money to throw a party, most people will bring food and dwarven ale piss, and the people you do know will know other people, and thats a nice little party you could get started.
And hell as far as food goes, grow some. Its really easy to do, all you need is space.
Supermarkets have most people by the balls, food is free in my world. Except the shit I cant make.

Yeah, the only thing you need for a party is a place to party, and people.

Yeah, I've been to some parties without stuff but place, people and pmusic. Tell guests beforehand you haven't got catering and they'll probably be fine.

Dating sites suck. At least the free ones. The problem is, people only use them when they're desperate, and desperation does not make for a good relationship.
I don't do online dating, but I think that isn't true anymore. As far as I know there's a subculture now where it's just normal to be on a dating site.

Nah, for me it's the other way round: I really like people and love to hang out around them, but I'm really damn shy.

That's what an introverted extrovert is, I think. :P

That might be true, it's still an inversion of this:
I hate people, but I crave social interaction.

That's an extroverted introvert. Completely different.
