Sophia, one thing I've done is make a positive effort to build a social life for myself, including trying to put myself in places where I might meet like-minded folks.
Joining clubs or social organizations, community service groups, even some churches can put us in contact with more people, including people who might even be interested in dating us.
In my case, I maintained membership in an amateur radio club that I had joined while I was still a male. Yes, they have seen me transition, and that was a fun topic on it's own. I'm currently president of the organization.
I joined a trans social support group in the area that hosts regular dinners and meetups, some Saturday shopping sessions, and some of us even meet up once a week at a local burger joint.
The big one was joining a Unitarian Universalist church. This partricular group is really interesting, as I am an atheist, and that is just fine with them. (UU is a very unusual religion, no creed, a set of basic beliefs about the nature of humanity and the world, and very accepting.). The church sponsors a number of activities intended to help build community and network members together. I help out with coffee klatches on Sundays, have dinner there with a smallish group on Thursdays, help out on the LGBTQQ Committee and Kitchen Committee, and have been known to show up at protests, picket lines, and marches from time to time.
I've made some good friends there, folks I've gone out to dinners with, movies, various special events. (A Two-Spirit Native American Powwow, for example, with one friend who is an avid drummer. She grew up next to a reservation and was very interested in seeing how this particular event would look.)
It beats sitting alone nights, and who knows, someday I might meet someone who is interested in a Blue Jean Lipstick Lesbian of a certain age with an unusual background.
