the dating scene in this city

is terrible. i’m a 28 year old woman who’s been single for 3 years. i’m not sure how many people on this sub are single and trying to date here but good lord. the apps have nothing, and if you go out by yourself, everyone is out with their partners or friends and they’re not open to chatting up. how do people meet other single people? or are we so deep in the bible belt that everyone got married at 22? who else is feeling my pain here?
