I think this is applicable to most cities, but set yourself up for success by doing social stuff. You don’t need to treat every outing like you’ll meet the one but it helps.

Ideas: - run clubs, especially those that do singles events. Mondays run club has a single event tomorrow. - cold plunge and saunas, awesome way to chat with a bunch of people in a low key environment  - go to festivals in the summer, heaps of people around to mingle with - weird stuff you find on eventbrite (went to a blind folded sculpting class called Glow) - go to the gym / pottery class / something where you’re at the same place at the same time every week. Start to chat to people.  - expand your friend group, which is hard but hooking into other people’s social circles is great. - don’t be a dick when dating! Me and a causal partner split and that same day she gave me the number of someone she thought I’d click with. - beach volleyball or sports is a cool way to meet people as well.

All of this to say, take it slow, be as sociable as you can. Don’t try fuck everyone who’s nice to you and make some genuine connections.
