<human>: My gf of 2.5 years and I had a mutual break up a few months ago but we still talk here and there. Before anyone jumps to conclusions, I am not trying to get back with her we understand our situations and that we cannot be together.

As of recent my two good friends are busy with work/school/ their own relationships and I don't have any single friends to go out with. Also, a mutual friend of mine and my exes told me drunkenly that my ex has been dating a rich new guy for the last few weeks (I am by no means rich) and I can't help but feel kind of jealous that she is meeting new people to date.

My problem is that I don't know how to meet women on my own, I consider myself confident but I'm not the type to go out alone to a book store and start talking to women. When I'm out with friends I can easily talk to women because for whatever reason I feel more comfortable.

What would be a good way for me to meet women and get myself back in the dating game? I've slept with two women since my recent break up but those were simple empty flings and I want something more serious again.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
