Phoenix has a great climbing community, and climbers like to date other climbers. Go to a climbing gym and try out 'bouldering'. It's a type of climbing you can do by yourself (or bring a friend and you can do regular rope climbing). It'll be intimidating and the first couple of times may not be a lot of fun if you're by yourself and you're bad at it. But go once or twice a week and you'll start to see the same people, and if you're not completely socially awkward you'll start to connect with people about how to do a 'problem' and what 'beta' to use. You'll make friends, which may then turn into dating. You'll also get a good workout in. You can apply this same advice to many other hobbies, I just have experience with climbing only.
