I want to start dating again but I feel like women I meet from dating apps aren’t really looking for something serious. What are some other ways to meet single women besides dating apps? For context, I’m a 29M

31F. I joined a ceramics studio and a climbing gym as well as go to a lot of different events and coffee shops. I haven't had anything happen organically try. I'm cautious to be too aggressive especially because these are all places I want to continue to go to and not cause problems for myself.

Some social media platforms have local groups or pages for singles in the area. You can also look for volunteer opportunities, there are always single females there. Local concerts or events are good as well. Just don’t come off to string or creepy.

Boutique gyms (TruFusion, BodyRok, orange theory, Barry’s), pickleball, tennis, or running groups, music festivals and local concerts, brunch/coffee shops on Saturdays

The transactional nature of App Dating is what most people take issue with. So focus on moments, experiences that prioritize human connection first.

Depends on what app. Tinder is for hookups and hinge is more for actual long term. Hinge helped me find my gf atleast 😅

28F. Letting friends know what I'm looking for, and finding hobbies outside of the house is my main approach! I had less of an issue with people not being serious, and more of an issue with some aggressive men putting me off the apps.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?
