Meeting people through friends tends to work when you're younger and if your friends are outgoing. My group of friends is fairly insular, at least when it comes to non-business related relationships, and most are already in long-term relationships whose girlfriends' friends are also in long-term relationships. When you're younger, people are more open to accepting people outside of their social circle; once you hit your late-20s and early 30s, it becomes increasingly difficult to meet new people through mutual friends.

One sport that's been hot for a while is dodgeball. There are 2 leagues in Vancouver and from what I've seen on Facebook, there is an ample supply of attractive and young women who play. Another sport that attracts women is volleyball. Or, you could just get involved with running clubs and see where that takes you. Women in this city are pretty active so you need to go where they are (and not the gym.)

I was involved in the dragonboat community for a couple of years and in my opinion, it's slowly dying in Vancouver. The corportate sponsorships have dried up and now it's for people who are competitive. If you want to get good at a sport and want to win, then by all means join a team. 10 years ago, there were 200 teams competing at festivals; that number has been reduced by 60-70%.

An example of stepping out of your comfort zone is joining a Toastmasters club. I met my girlfriend through a club I joined. Not only do you build your confidence through public speaking, but women get to see your confidence grow which makes you very attractive.
