32yr old Single Dad 'trying' to be social again.

I am a 32yr old single dad. I have the most gorgoeous and cutest 22 month old daughter who I am absolutely in love with. My wife and I are separated and getting a divorce, so I am just interested in making friends and hanging out and NO by 'hangin out' I DO NOT mean booty calls or one night stands...i actually do mean just hangin' out as friends and doing fun stuff and activities...like going to movies, dining out, bowling, playing pool, etc..u get the idea. Now part of the reason i am not looking for anything serious as of yet is because honestly i am not ready to be in a relationship already and also because i am kind of intimidated with this entire social scene as i have been out of it for 7 years.
