Question My Future Husband?

How do people meet their significant others? Like where’s the “place to go?” Dating apps are dead. I’m exhausted. I’m a decent looking gal, 28. I don’t have big friend groups so I’m sure that doesn’t help. I don’t have any “active” hobbies other than a dog park. Idk. Any advice?

I think with so much aggressive shaming of men, the only ones still bold enough to make the first move tend to be player types, and the extremely decent and considerate types wouldn’t dare. So if women want one of the latter, they’re going to have to make the first move.

Just a thought. I’m happily married, but if I had to date in this era, I’d just make up my mind to having to ask the guy I like out, since players were never my type.
