the usa is overrated - i left myself. partners are nice though. ever consider interacting with some in a forum? physical interaction is great, but try starting off with just initiating a conversation with someone, and building from there. relationships are about taking risk. sounds simplistic, but it's a start? the usa is not what is used to be, and never will be the same place i remember as a lad (yet, you can never step into the same river twice). try discovering what is good and special in the home you have..
