What if I already have hobbies? I’m not rich enough to stop working, my time is limited. Also what’s the link between hobbies and dating?
meeting people
“Want to meet people? Easy, just meet new people!”
Useless advice. Meeting new people outside of work or school is practically impossible. People giving this kind of advice never explain how to do it, because they don’t know themselves.

dancing and dance classes are a great way to meet people there’s an app called meetup - use it to meet up with people go to trivia night follow local gathering places and check out their schedules if you’re in a larger city, there may be a Do{yourAreaCode} website with a list of things that are going on joining a food or drink tour in your own city is actually quite fun and locals/new comers do it as well book club? people rarely read books. they mainly hang out
expand your route, linger in public, be friendly, walk through open doors. but you have to leave the house.
and yes, I do these things (haven’t done a book club yet) and yes, I meet new people, even when I was in a small town. I made an entire friend group by going to meetup events.
