Some say that getting involved with dating/romance isn't really a good idea at all until you have at least a year of sobriety under your belt. Not sure if that is the case or not with you, but something to consider at least.
As far as where to meet people, the answer is anywhere. The grocery store, social events, book clubs, sports clubs/events, volunteer groups, church, the list goes on and on. Bars are definitely not someplace you will want to hang out and meet people if you are recovering either for obvious reasons.
