Still go on dates and stuff, just be upfront that you're getting settled into a new city and just trying to meet new friends etc. Assuming you're a fun dude to be around, I think you'd have girls inviting you to parties and introducing you to their guy friends. Though I haven't personally tried it, I do know people who have had success finding new friends through Tinder.
I'll give that a try, thanks.
Lucid, Some of what you said is a little off [specifically to my situation] but to be fair it's also a function of you operating on incomplete information. I agree there's some things I need to change. Any relationship you put yourself out there, making yourself completely vulnerable to that person, and make what you believe a solid connection, and then have that backfire, is going to sting and it's a bit easier said than done to just flick the 'switch' (or it is for me at least). All I can really do is line-check to make sure I'm doing whats best for the long run, which I believe I am, and hopefully it'll feel less awful in time. All in all, thanks for the advice - it's appreciated.
