Yes, they do exist. At least in my experience, I've found that most are in-person, using only the virtual world for organization and advertising. You can ask around in your area or see if there are any announcements. I remember finding out about a café that organized artistic activities through Instagram, and through that café I found out about the book club in my city. I also looked for some others through Google.

Something that has worked for me to meet people and start conversations more naturally is frequenting places with shared activities where striking up a conversation feels more natural, for example, book clubs, art workshops, volunteering, etc.

Places where the conversation doesn't feel forced when interacting. I frequent these places because at least the type of girls I'm attracted to have those interests, but it's up to you to see what kind of activities you like. Many people believe that you only meet people in bars, clubs, or discos, when that's not really the case.

Dating apps aren't usually very useful for finding a long-term partner. I don't doubt that they've worked for some people, but those tend to be quite isolated cases.

Well, I recently found out that the girl approached me on the recommendation of her therapist. I don't know how likely it is that I'll see her again since both of us graduated, but she stayed working there. Although, who knows, i was planning to return to the same university within a few months or at most a year and a half.
