Hi Jen/Jay,
Many people find someone through people they know. I would be very honest with all your friends, family and work colleagues. Tell them you are ready to meet someone. They may invite you to their cousin’s party where you’ll meet their best friend’s neighbor.
That’s how it happened for me. Our step brother introduced my sister to her future husband and then her in-law introduced me to my future husband at a mutual friend’s party. And no, we don’t live in Appalachia. LOL
The other strategy is to stop looking and let it happen to you. Which is how my husband claims it happened for him.
But it’s really because my sister’s in-law dragged him to a party.
Best,
Inky
