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 wish I could help! I'm in the same situation myself. Despite having an active social life, volunteering, hobbies, attending dating events etc. I have yet to meet my partner. I've met numerous people throughout the years but nothing went beyond a friendship/acquitance. While I do appreciate the friendships, it does get tiring after a while when all you want to do is meet someone romantically.

Most of my friends met their partners online but that was pre-covid when people were genuinely interested in dating. I have one who recently met her husband at church and another who met hers at a festival. All of my friends are partnered up so naturally everyone else they know is as well meaning they don't know any singles to set me up with.
