While I'm no longer actively trying to date, I prefer online dating apps over in person. Especially if you're introverted, live in small towns, and as you get older? Dating in person gets more different because you have a smaller dating pool to choose from.

Most people say cliche spots such as church, bars, clubs? NO.
Why? They're overrated.

I would say areas of interest, such as dog parks (if you have a dog), book clubs, parks, local events.
Got a hobby? Use that as a way to mingle and meet new people.

Speed dating, I don't know where you live but around my city these are hosted pretty often. Another suggestion is to just pick up a hobby (or hobbies) that’s in a classroom setting like dancing, painting, etc. One of the best ways to meet someone is doing something you both have in common, and you’d be surprised by the number of singles you can find taking classes as well.

everywhere, just be on your best and available.

my suggestion is to do things you don't normally do, go out of your element. I'd have never met my wife if I had been doing what I usually do. several family members met online, some met in person at work or by way of colleagues and get togethers.
