I'm sharing a (largish) house with four other people at the moment, and 
three of us are currently dating women who we met in a PhD computer 
science program.  I think that the reason Darren's suggestion make some 
sense is not because in a graduate program you're associating with 
people (men and women alike) who have share interests with you, so it's 
easy to meet people you have things in common with.  Note, however, that 
you still mostly discuss non-computer related things -- it's just that 
nobody bats an eye when you do say something technical :)

Of course meeting women shouldn't be your primary concern in going to 
grad school, as there's ways to do that which involve way less effort. 
That said, it does seem like it would be well, well worth your while to 
move out of home and go somewhere (another job or graduate school) where 
  you're not the only person around who enjoys technical topics.
