The New Year is typically a time for changes. Why not actually try posting some such ad and see what happens. I know far too well that meeting people is difficult for shy folk. Such an ad could provide an opportunity that might result in something quite good happening. My suggestion is:
1) Post such an ad (or even better multiple different ads in different forums). I'd concentrate on queer-friendly places, since they are far more diverse.
2) Email anyone who responds who sounds non-creepy and keep up an email correspondence until you feel less scared about meeting them (for me at least, meeting someone that I already know in some fashion is far easier than meeting strangers.
2) Have coffee with the person and see how it goes.

You have nothing to lose but loneliness.
