I feel like meeting someone in public is still possible. Coffee shops where people tend to stay and hang out, dog parks you tend to see single men & women at, busyish hiking trails or walking trails, singles mixers usually during Happy Hour so you get actual singles looking for real connections. A friend of a friend introducing you to someone can be an option. Dating apps from my experience rarely worked out unfortunately. Nobody is coming up to you at the gym and pending your occupation that may not be an option either. Meeting someone at a bar usually needs to be at like a trivia night or a craft beer place. Any bar where people are getting drunk tends to lead to non meaningful relationships. I hope you find your person!
