Like what @DarthCoin says, you need PATIENCE.
After being active in a Dutch community for almost 3 years (which is short!), I have met two people in person which actually live nearby with the same Bitcoin interest. That's what I call local: people living / working near you.
I'm not pushing it: the need to meet other like-minded people. I like the way of 'serendipity'.
Yes, I realize that, thank you)
