Hi Tetra, if you can, get out and do non-pickup type activities which is when you tend to meet great people who are worth knowing. It expands your social circle and the more people you meet the better your chances. Trying to think of Irish type activities......bowling balls down roads, Irish football, Irish dancing, you may have to work out the rest yourself!
I wouldn't get too fixed on what sort of candidate you are. If you work on your sobriety and getting out there, other things will fall into place.
