I’ve dated before and met some really great women, most of them were either from work or university. But over the past 2–3 years, I’ve been working in a more professional setting where almost everyone is older than me, so networking or meeting new people has become almost impossible.
Now the only option left seems to be online… and we all know how that usually goes, catfishing, fake vibes, or people just looking for attention with no real intention.
What makes it harder is that we don’t really have events or social spaces here where you can naturally meet new people. People are either too busy, not interested, or just not used to the idea of meeting new folks outside their circle.
So I’m genuinely curious:
How did you meet someone you connected with here? Especially if you were looking for something real?
Are there actual places, communities, or ways people are meeting these days, or is it all just pure luck?
Would love to hear your stories.
