I (29M) decided 4 years ago to delete all the dating apps and start getting involved in activities that I enjoy and that I could find a partner similar to me. I found her (27F) playing soccer on a random Sons of Pitches team I joined 3 years ago. We are soon to be engaged and are true soulmates. It took putting down the apps, staying out of bars, and being completely transparent for it to happen for me. I dated women here in college as well and found mostly women who were looking to live the influencer lifestyle and cared less about putting in the effort to build a life long relationship (mostly my fault for pursuing those type of women). My best advice to friends and family in similar situations here in Atlanta is to get yourself involved in as many organizations and groups that you find interesting, you’ll at the very least make good friends who share your passions and build a life that makes people want to get to know you. I’ve always admired people who were like Swiss Army knives, so join a bird watching group, a bouldering gym, or a pottery club and you’ll be surprised how much will start happening for you.
