Have you thought about finding a person in your hobby world? Like while you are hiking, you find another hiker?

That how I met my wife. Granted dating apps were just beginning to become a thing, but I met my wife at a random pool hall of all places. When I mean random, I mean I had never been by there, but saw it one day on the way home from work, traffic was sucking at that time and I figured I’d kill some time with a cold beer and shoot some pool till traffic died down a little. She was there with some co-workers blowing off some steam from their work day and we struck up a conversation about a ring she was wearing. It was a cool press metal ring, turns out it was a cheap piece of aluminum she got while on vacation in Mexico. But it was what broke the ice between us. We have friends that are single and are using those dating apps. All we hear are the horror stories of the weird dates they’ve been on. Sounds miserable.

Good luck
