Wayne Dyer said something like: Go within and create your ideal relationship with your thoughts, we only experience others through our thoughts anyway, what you are manifesting outwardly is a reflection of your inner-life.
If you have within confidence, trust, safety, love, romance, commitment, joy, peace you will pick it up faster in your external reality. Love and connect with those in your current circle and your circle will widen.
Phone about, strive to give. Email about, sms, create networks. Think Spirals Outward!

I am also far from the goal you have for yourself, and fear and lack are my main threats, but the above is my strategy, and sometimes it's like a bag of sweat and tears for a spoonful of sugar.
