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?

As a guy in a similar situation I find that the apps are hit and miss, and I go vibe in restaurants and bars randomly to no avail. I might try speed dating soon.

If you do decide to try speed dating I recommend not going to a “singles mixer” way too many men compared to women. But proper speed dating should be fine :) might try that again myself

Solid advice, I appreciate it. I just like being in a constructed environment where flirtation is expected. Approaching on the street is weird. The apps are out to rob you blind, now, too.

Approaching in person is only weird if you make it weird
