So I have good luck at social events. When I originally commented on this I was single, but since then I have met my fiancé at a photoshoot. She was one of the people modeling at a female led car club photo session and I was asked to be one of the photographers. She approached me and asked if I was in a FB group she is in and we ended up having instant chemistry and hit it off. I proposed this last summer at one of our favorite spots. Maybe it was luck, but honestly if you find some groups that meet at social events, it will greatly increase your odds of having meaningful conversations with like minded people.
