A lot of people have found themselves frustrated with Dating Apps and as a result have decided to revert back to traditional forms of dating. Regardless if you are done with Dating Apps you should not rely only on just Dating Apps alone. Instead learn to see Dating Apps as supplemental resource. A lot of people have gotten so used to the modern way of dating they find themselves confused about how to start in the real world. It’s important to keep in mind that it’s not just about meeting people but being in environments where the same type of people who are also looking for a relationship might be.
Join groups
Joining social gatherings such as clubs or local community events is a great way to get involved and meet other locals with similar interests. For example, if you like running join a run club. Many singles in New York City are doing just that. Although @lungerunclub still requires an app to sign up for the running event and then hit a bar together almost like a speed dating event. If you are not a runner but more of a bookworm worm join @reading_rhythms. Reading Rhythms does not describe itself as a book club. Reading Rhythms offers you an opportunity to read and talk to strangers. You arrive read your own book for 30 minutes, and then discuss it with the people around you. Another example is in Los Angeles @lachess.club. You may not live in big cities such as New York or Los Angeles however a good place to start looking for local groups is at meetup.com
Find a Third Place
What is a Third Place? Third places are public gathering spots where people can connect with others outside of their homes and work. Find a place where you become a regular a place where people are constantly on the regular. Think of the bar in How I Meet Your Mother or the coffee shop in Friends. Now this doesn’t necessarily mean you should go out every night and sit at a bar. You should spend time in a place you would enjoy spending time at. For you, it might be a coworking space or at the gym.
Do the things you like to do and spend time out of the house
By spending time doing things you need to do or want to do. You are doing something rather than nothing which is good. Remember it’s very unlikely that your prince charming will barge into your house and you will ride off into the sunset. That is why spending time doing your hobbies or just running errands is important. You are much more likely to meet people and people whom you might have something in common with.
