hi and welcome to DnM, BabbleSeed. You started out doing good by introducing yourself here in the forums.
You can also use the search function near the top of the page. Enter in
your criteria, then search for members meeting your criteria. After you
get results send Private Message(s) (PM's) to the people you think you
might get along with.
You can also participate here in the forums, just add your 2 cents into
the threads you want. Or, start new topics that interest you just like
you did here to introduce yourself. There are groups to join, polls to
answer ( or create if you wish). You can post videos, and probably more
that I just can't think of at this minute.
The big key is to be active. If you wait around for someone to contact
you, you will probably wait a long time. If you are active about
looking, things will get done faster without a doubt
