For those who aren’t into clubbing or dancing but want to meet others from the community, what alternatives have you found that worked? I’ve never been a party-goer or someone who enjoys dancing, so clubs aren’t my scene. Still, I’d love to find ways to meet people from the community for dating or friendship.

Search this bowl for "how to make friends" for the usual weekly post asking basically the same thing. Usual answers inclide: sports leagues, volunteering, political activism, professional orgs, religious orgs, hobby groups.

If you live in near a major city (in the USA/UK/Canada or generally western world), you should find at least a few of the above opportunities, and not being into clubs/bars/apps/sports won't be an excuse.

Following… I heard before sports leagues but not into sports

As per above answers, drinking and clubbing is absolutely not required to meet people. However, not doing it might make it hard to bond with certain people / groups - which is totally fine but worth noting

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.
