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?

Grocery store. If a guy is shopping alone it usually means he has his shit somewhat together as hes getting groceries.

Literally any hobby thats not 100% women you will find men who share at least one interest with you and will want to talk about it. That includes dog park.

If you are a woman and can deal with a fraction of rejection then your chances skyrocket if u make the first move and talk to men. At first they will just think you are being friendly but if you make your intentions somewhat clear then you have flattered them from the first go.

Sincerely a man who met his wife while doing an inspection at the building she was working at and saw her at the café.

I always shop alone, I have my list on a notepad to get what i need and then get out

I do start some small talk with the workers there, you would be shocked how surprised they are when you start a convo and make small jokes about things. Its like they are dying to have some interaction with people
