I volunteered on a political campaign (where I also met my future husband). There's usually a wide age range with a heavy concentration in young to young-ish adults, and most are genuinely intriguing. You already know you have at least one important thing in common, and you get plenty of chances to interact (and watch others interact) with everyone. I can virtually guarantee you'll find at least a few people you vibe with.
I moved to a new city without knowing anyone and made all my friends at the local dog park. It helps to have a routine where you start seeing familiar faces. I started to find common interests through conversations, plans were made, and then friendships were formed! The general theme here is to go somewhere with some common interest (we all love dogs). Since you already know you have something in common, you're off to a great start!
