Where to meet women my age

Hey guys, figured I'd post this since it's been on my mind for a while now. Where can I meet women around my age? I am currently saving up for college so I can return to finish out my degree, and I am 20 years old. Obviously I can't go to bars yet, and clubbing really does not interest me (I just don't have fun when I go).
I think my biggest problem is a hobby I spend a lot of time with (about 2-3 nights a week) is playing trading card games like Magic, WoW, etc. These are not events that lots of women attend.
Just as a heads up, I'm not unhappy with my life in any way...I am completely content to go on living this way, it's just that I haven't been on a date in a while and I'm starting to go stir crazy just hanging out with guys. Any suggestions?

Doesn't even really need to be about religion. I think my buddy's group just uses religion as an excuse to get together because I asked him what religion it was and he didn't really know. They just go on different adventures every week and party without booz. Sounds like good, safe times to me.

And yeah, finding people who have fun without drinking / doing drugs is kinda hard at my age, so that's another plus. Don't get me wrong, drinking is fun every once in a while..just not really my thing.
edit: I just realized this may have sounded a bit creepy. I am not suggesting that at 20 years old he go to YFC lock-ins and weekend trips with the young to mid-teens that normally attend those. Just confirming that with the right people a Christian group does not have to mean a bunch of boring people and an incredibly lame time.

Obviously. I was in college for 2 and a half years, but now that I'm out and saving up to go back I don't meet many. I moved to another city, too, so all of my former college friends are back in another state. That doesn't really help.
Please not myspace. I'm looking for dateable women, not casual fucks that I can't stand being around.
That came out harsher than intended, but I stand by it.
I know that (I did read your first post :P), I was just wondering how much more saving up you have to do.
Ah. Well, I'm thinking about another 8 months or so before I have enough to go back. I am currently looking into student loans through private means, like Bank of America etc. I don't qualify for federal student loans because my parents make too much money. So yeah, about this time next year I expect to be back in school if I can't get student loans, if I can then probably next semester.
Is your prejudice based on personal experience, or an impression you gathered from somewhere else?
I can tell you it's quite inaccurate.
Anyway, try dancing. Salsa is particularly sexy. Swing is quite good as well. Tango is more for older crowds though. In most dancing classes the ratio of girls to guys will be quite high.
Also, art lessons. Basic drawing and such. Acting works too. Improv for example.
I should add that if your sole purpose is going out with girls, you will fail.
There are alot of smart, attractive women at bookstores.
You can start conversation real easy too, just ask them what they are reading and run with it from there.
Agreed, all the best relationships I just sort of stumbled into. The relationships where I carefully planned and asked out girls turned out disappointingly as they did not live up to my expectations.
The point I'd like to make to the OP here is that the most important thing about meeting women is being comfortable. You. Them. Comfortable.
You are going to be at your most attractive when you are at ease and relaxed and doing your thing. If that means the network of friends thing, then great. If it means MySpace or other internet dating, that's fine too. It is whatever works for you.

The best experiences in my life came out of nowhere and dropped in my lap. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I kind of agree: The best relationships I've had started out of virtually nothing, such as going to a friend's halloween fancy dress party (despite not initially wanting to go), ending up in a swordfight (fancy dress, yeah) with another one of my friends and then suddenly we were spending most of the night making out. I never went out with the intention of getting together with her, but that was a pretty awesome relationship whilst we were together.
So don't rely on going out with the intention of finding girls, but at the same time, you need to put yourself in a social situation in order to do so. When these guys say 'fall into your lap', they don't mean someone's going to get with you whilst you're sitting at home watching TV.
It's kinda like fishing; you've got to cast your bait out if you want the fish to bite, but if you hover over the water actually looking for fish, you're going to scare them away. Put yourself into social situations, and just be yourself.
You will generally find nice girls who want dance partners and have hot asses.
Seriously if you want to meet some women I have four words for you.
Learn to salsa dance.

I registered for a salsa class which begins in a month.
I can't wait...

Well, that was awkward.
