I had the same problem. I tried dating apps and just found it to be a waste of time.
My advice though to try different activities you enjoy 9r are just interested it.. I started walking with a group of senior ladies a long time ago. It happened by accident, but those 5 ladies changed my life for the better. I've been to parties at their homes and met their families, we are working on a book of life lessons and stories together, we support each other and take care of each other. They've encouraged me to join activities I enjoy, be more active in our communities and meet people, and that involvement has also opened up several dating opportunities with men who enjoy the same activities I do. It's a start for me and I'm enjoying growing into the life I want for myself.

Meetup is a great way to find activity groups. I also subscribed to my local newspaper because the events section always lists different local events and volunteer opportunities that aren't always listed online. The point is to have fun being who you are and you will meet people who will want to know you. Good luck!
