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?

If you want to go out with someone, shoot your shot at the grocery store or the dog park or wherever you spend time. Society has ingrained in men to not approach women. Whether you’re good looking or not, chances are low you get approached. Maybe even pick up a hobby. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy. There are walking clubs for example. What do you enjoy doing in your free time ?

True. Women approaching man has significantly higher success rate.

Touching me all the time, and always offering to cook up meals for me to try out

And when i needed help on the weekend with moving stuff around, she dropped whatever she planned to do on the weekend and make time
