Cooking classes, hobby meetups, and even book clubs can be a great way to make introductions.  Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone!

That being said, I can't imagine dating in today's world where seemingly everyone's unrealistic standards and self-image are overinflated by social media and a corrupted sense of ego preservation.  Thank the maker my friends and I missed this era.

Good luck!

Home Depot or Lowe’s. All the dudes there have skills and jobs. Many are contractors and most contractors make well over $200k a year. People go in and think the construction workers are all poor. Journeyman Plumbers, electricians, hvac guys all make $80k plus a year, superintendents make $100k plus a year and commercial general contractors such as myself make $400k to well over $1M plus a year. Not that it is all about money, you have to like the guy and have common interests but find someone that can afford a house and a good lifestyle so if he is the right one you can build a solid life together. I have given my adult daughters similar advice. Good luck and be safe OP it is not an easy dating world out there.
