Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here but I just need some suggestions.
It’s summer and so all the typical suggestions of meeting people in class and in clubs won’t work during the summer.
I’m a 20 year old male and have never had a relationship or anything even resembling it and it’s pretty lonely. Unfortunately for my social life, I do not drink or smoke and don’t love partying in the traditional sense (10-20 people hanging out is good with me). For the last year I’ve tried dating sites like tinder, bumble, hinge, Okcupid, etc and I’m just not attractive enough for them which is fine because it’s a high bar and I’m confident enough in person IMO. Unfortunately, that means my dating scope is limited.
I’m a rising junior majoring in sports management and pre-law hoping to go into contract law and sports agency. For work I’m a freelance graphic designer and artist. I have an 8 year old dog that is my best friend truly and I take her on walks or runs a lot but have never seen anyone that caught my eye on trails.
As for hobbies, I enjoy sports, art, the outdoors, and trivia but I’m open to trying things! I think part of my struggle is I went to college remotely for 5 of the 6 semesters I’ve been in college so I don’t have any friends there (plus starting at a new one in the fall) and all my friends are from HS so meeting through friends is difficult.
I live in an Atlanta suburb but am in the city quite a bit so I live in a large and fairly diverse area. I’m fully vaccinated but still relatively covid conscious (not opposed to eating in restaurants or things like that but extremely crowded bars or events aren’t my thing rn). I feel like I should have these opportunities because of my interests but I don’t get out enough because I don’t have any friends willing to go with me to events or things like that plus my age makes it so I’m likely to be the youngest person looking to meet people there.
A few of my ideas were to go to the botanical gardens or Piedmont park (large park in midtown Atlanta) and just sort of camp out there and read a book or chill and see if anyone catches my eye but it sounds a bit creepy. Plus I don’t think I look very approachable (my mom and friends agree) so might need some tips on how to look approachable and/or how to approach others if the opportunity is there. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips? Thank you!
TL:DR: 20 yo Male who doesn’t drink smoke or party wants tips to meet people in the summer
