Perhaps Plan B could involve handing out boxes of produce, or soup or sauce, to your neighbours.
I actually gained a whole branch of my family this way. Soon after WW2 my widowed grandfather used to take boxes of his home grown veg to a widowed lady in the village. She had 3 daughters so the food was welcome but the legend goes that she wasn't expecting the marriage proposal. After recovering her breath, she said yes.
