I am new to forums so if I'm doing this wrong, or if this is in the wrong place; I am sorry. I am having an extremely difficult time finding people to play Dungeons and Dragons. I live in Maine and the closest shops in my area are about 30 miles away. I have tried to game with people at these shops but it is mostly kids that really just get together to socialize with friends.  I have been trying to find people to game with for the past few years and I am starting to give up hope. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a page out there that helps build groups? Does wizards have a "Looking For Group" (LFG) page or any tools like that?  If there isn't; Is there something I can do to find a group?

There is a gamers classified section on the forum I belive. Also, you could try one of the PbP games that can be found on the wizards forum. As for "using it as an excuse to socialize with friends" well, in my experience, that describes most game groups everywhere.

Yeah... I didn't mean it like that. Don't get me wrong, I like to socialize. Its just the groups I have run into are all young kids that (no offense) aren't at my maturity level. I am really just looking for a group that has all adult players.
Thank you for the quick response.

Since the main question has been answered I don't think the OP will mind a little derail.

*Choo, choo!*

Well, onto the derail. What does a "mature" roleplayer mean? To some it is roleplaying at all. To others, it is Shakespearean acting. And to some, it is "adult" roleplaying...and by "adult" I mean drow (if you catch my drift).

 Well, I'm pretty sure the OP meant "mature" as in "people who were born before he graduated college"...

I dunno...
I think he means players who don't act juvenile and immature.
I have played with immature, juvenile groups... and I've played with mature, serious groups. But never sober in either...

Robin's right. I mean I don't really want to deal with anyone juvenile and immature.
Thank you for all the help.
