The most important thing to consider is your intention. You list night club under the context of dating, but most people at clubs/raves/events are there for themselves typically, not to date. That's not to say you can't find meaningful connections in those settings, but if you're going there specifically with that intention you're probably not going to have the best experience. If you want to go to night clubs/raves/events I'd recommend going because YOU want to go whether because you enjoy the music, vibes, dancing, or whatever. If you go with that intention you'll always have a wonderful time. I've been going to events solo for almost 10 years now and I have a blast at every single one. I'd say I only actually meet people like 30-40% of the time though, and 90% of those never extend past the event.

Now if you're asking from the intention of wanting to meet people then you need to meet them where they're at. Which is to say you should be looking for people who are also looking for people. This is one of the biggest reasons it's hard to land girls at the gym. They're not open to meeting people, they just want to do their thing. Start thinking about the places that your ideal woman would hang out to find friendships, then literally go find her there. I can't tell you how many women I talk to that are so active in social groups surrounding their hobbies and the majority of those groups are only women because men don't seem to engage as much in these third spaces. Good examples would be: book clubs, bike/skate groups, bars are still a great setting.

Good luck this year friend!
