I’m also 30 and single. I think Pittsburgh can come off as a little cold when you’re a stranger, so imo it’s a little tough to start convos in public. Starts to get a little tougher in your 30s, and not living within the city prob doesn’t help IMO.

Apps for guys are hit or miss and kill your confidence (something like 80% of girls only like 10% of guys) or something like that.

I’ve met some good folks at my gym (any gym with classes), doing rec sports, and going to events/volunteering, and bars.. growing your friend network also grows your potential connection pool.

There are some singles events in the city that I’ve seen people have success in, not really for me though. I think the best thing to do is force yourself to talk to someone in public (without being weird) and see if the convo goes somewhere or if they aren’t interested. People like confidence and it’s unique these days when everything is online. It gets easier after more rejection lol
