HOW do I follow up?

Hi guys! I haven't been on these msg boards in awhile but I'll try to be concise. I'm 26 yrs old, female, and I've been single for almost 2 years now. Even though I've never really been into the dating thing (cuz' I don't know how...), I haven't been in a relationship in a long time and would really like to start meeting guys, but it's somewhat frustrating for me to meet new people since I only have a small group of friends who I've known for years and I've been working at the same job for the past 5 yrs, and I've done the whole bar/club thing and pretty tired of that scene.

I consider myself attractive and think that other people do as well, since my friends and co-workers always say they can't believe I'm still single. Every so often a friend would would call me up and tell me that a friend of their's saw my picture and wants to get introduced to me and that they'll plan for all of us to hang out..then weeks/months pass and it never happens. It's not too much of a disappointment for me since I never knew the guys, but it would be nice to actually meet these guys since I don't get the chance to meet new people ...but I'm too shy or embarassed to ask my friends about it at the risk of seeming to eager. I think in the past 12 months I've had 4 of these potential set-ups that never followed through. So my question is: how do I follow up on these potential dates without sounding to eager ???? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks for listening :)
