It´s a phrasal verb, it means 1. To begin living a stable and orderly life,
2.To became calm and composed.
I learned it, many years ago, from Cat Steven´s song "Father and son":
Find a girl,settle down,
If you want you can marry....

Settle down here would mean "after marriage" (to tell you the truth i don´t know how to explain it), she talk about her social life because after marriage her life it´s going to be less... social cuz marriage implies responsibilities.
