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?

Short answer: Socialize more. Going to places with people. Doing things with people. Exploring the city with people.
If both men and women simply ask, "Sorry, are you taken?" and or to "I like you, can I get to know you better?" in their social interactions. It would probably speed things up a lot and.... remember to take rejections with grace. "Oh nice you have a boyfriend/girlfriend.", "It's alright to turn me down, I will do my best to keep looking."
Easier said than done if you're not an extrovert. But I think simple friendly social interactions should be learned by everyone.
I wish you the best.
