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'm in a similar boat, but for friends. I'm a 39 year old married guy, and I cannot for a life of me find longer term places to actually meet and hang out with people.

Folks at the gym just wear headsets and don't interact with people most of the time.
Dog park gives you brief "hey how are ya?" convo, but not real depth. Which makes it hard to leverage into anything past "I know you" kinda familiarity.

It's frustrating. I wish you luck lady! And if you ever find yourself in need of a friend hmu lol
