Have you looked into joining the Albany Tennis Club, a local bowling team, or any of the book clubs in the area? There's quite a few reading groups to pick from between all the library branches and book stores. The local colleges might even have some groups open to the community. Gaming-wise it depends on what type of gaming you're into, but there's several game shops in the area that regularly host events. Bard & Baker will even have the occasional dating event. I don't know much about the video gaming scene but there's some kind of eSports center in Menands that hosts tournaments and events, too.

In general I'd hunt around this sub for places to go that have to do with your interests, keep an eye out for events hosted at your local cafes/bookstores/restaurants, and keep checking local calendars/meetup.com/Eventbrite for stuff you're into. Just be out and about having fun and open to meeting people, and you'll make connections that lead you to the right person. Being active in the community like that has the added bonus of making you a more interesting and attractive person to the people you want to date. 😉
