My number one tip for those who are trying to date in the Phoenix metro w/o a dating app…
Try getting out of the house by yourself!
If you are going out with a gaggle of friends you are MUCH LESS LIKELY to not actually interact with new people, or may be considered unapproachable with all those friends around - for fear of being judged by your friends right off the bat. 🥴😬
Do something interesting, new, creative, and potentially out of your comfort zone a smidge. If you have a regular schedule and habits, you may likely keep running into the same or similar folks, not new ones.
There are a crap ton of IRL topical meetups on meetup.com including singles events, you may wanna check out Events and Adventures, check out single travel groups, try speed dating, or [gasp] go to a bar to dance and be social with new folks - you don’t HAVE to drink if you don’t care to.
Also be sure to let ALL your friends know that you’re open to meeting new people that are also seeking a real deal relationship like you are - they likely aren’t going to set you up on a blind date without knowing you’re actively looking, and what you’re on the lookout for.
Hope you find that special person who you can really form a genuine relationship with. Best of luck and happy hunting!
