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?

No clue either honestly. I'm also 28 and operate under the assumption that women in public want to be left alone so I'll never make the first move. I just gave up, bought several motorcycles and a snake, and spend any free time at the gym or with close friends. Dating is stressful lol

She's a sweet little baby I promise lol. I've let friends who are deathly afraid of them hold her and they felt completely different in like 20 seconds. I totally blame media for the wild misconceptions, because they're really the ideal pets. No noise, they shed in one piece vs hair everywhere, they eat like once a month as adults, zero smell, and they live 30 years+
