Being around people all your own age is not a luxury, it's a trap. There are vast numbers of interesting people at all ages. Just surf around and let it happen to you - unless you have clinical social phobias or suchlike it'll take care of itself. You will sometimes be bored, demotivated, or lonely. This is the normal human condition.

Having just moved to a new city myself, I can fully relate to this. The parent poster very concisely states the best way to go about it. Just live. Get out and do things. Life will happen.
I started doing tango classes on a whim and it has been very fun. I go to Borders and chat with people. I walk to the store. These are simple actions but I feel great doing them.
