What are good places to meet someone if you don't have friends?

Anonymous

I do have few close friends but they're always busy, it's impossible to make plans with them.
I usually go to malls, movies and other activities, alone.
I don't really mind it, it's just hard to go to places like pubs, restaurants all by yourself.

I know meeting someone special happens for most people randomly or through friends, at work or using dating apps but I cannot stand dating apps and my friends are all taken and their friends as well :D :( and my job is full of old people and their kids... also taken.

Please help :D
