Join a club or take a class! It's funny how chatting with 9 people in real life & clicking with 1 person feels like such a win when I know if I talked to 8 people I don't click with online I would feel soul sucking failure. We're just animals, find a herd.

Clubs don’t end after high school and/or college. Join local clubs that match your interests. I joined a local rec center tennis team, snowboarding in the winter, go ride biking trails. A lot of my activities I go to solo but so do so many other people. I’ve met so many wonderful people this way. Just be open to meeting and talking to new people!
Also, volunteering! I know two friends personally who are in long-term relationships with people they met this way.
I haven’t been looking to date but you easily could meet your other half by being more involved in your community.

This is not a high quality rec because I'm not writing from current experience and may be completely missing the heart of the matter.
But:
Our lives revolve around internet and digital and apps and using our devices to communicate, that is the normal default for everyone, but it really doesn't serve us well—my opinion—when trying to spark friendships, deepen relationships, and find love.
My rec is to seek out spaces and groups where people gather and build community. And I honestly don't even know what that is. But there are probably interest groups or clubs—like a running club, if doable—or a volunteer projects where you'll start to rub shoulders with people who share interests and values.

I’ve met friends through a book club, a mutual aid group, a film discussion class, improv classes (silly but made lifelong friends!), queer craft meetups…but honestly I had the most luck with BumbleBFF & other apps bc it eliminates the awkward part of not being sure if the people at the event wanna hang out outside of it or not.

Currently backpacking and whenever I'm in a place for a couple of days I buy a bag of potatoes.
They're CHEAP and delicious with everything, and you can make them in the microwave.
Fave baked potato recipes:
- Tuna + Cheese (canned tuna mashed with chopped onion, hot sauce, and mayo) top with cheese
- Taco --- all the taco fixings or just black beans pan fried with taco seasoning, salsa and cheese
- fried mushrooms and onions w sour cream and steak (fancy)
- Regular baked potato toppings (sour cream, bacon, chives, cheese, etc)
- I hear baked beans and cheese is also good??? will try
- Spaghetti sauce, ground beef and cheese
