What are the best places for meeting people offline? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dating apps aren&#8217;t the only way to meet people\u2014although they are probably the easiest. Meeting people offline is more challenging, but it&#8217;s also more rewarding because in-person gatherings normally revolve around interests, so you&#8217;re more likely to meet people you have more in common with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this in mind, here&#8217;s how to meet people without dating apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-meet-people-offline\"><strong>How to Meet People Offline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet people offline, Ury recommends two strategies. First, <strong>go to events<\/strong>. Optimize your chances of meeting someone great by <strong>attending events<\/strong> <strong>that facilitate connections <\/strong><em>and<\/em> that you\u2019ll likely enjoy: You\u2019ll have a good time even if you don\u2019t meet any potential partners. Consider local meetups, volunteering, or athletic leagues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/hub\/personal-life\/relationships\/how-to-connect-with-people\/\">connect with people<\/a> at the event<\/strong>. Start by going alone, since people are more comfortable talking to people who are by themselves than big groups. Introduce yourself to at least one person; if you\u2019re shy, practice first by introducing yourself to people you\u2019re not attracted to. Be friendly during your conversation\u2014and if you find someone you like, ask for their contact information so that you can follow up later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>How to Meet People Without Dating Apps<\/strong><br><br>Ury\u2019s event strategy focuses on exposing yourself to more people by attending more formal events: Meetups, volunteering, and athletic leagues all involve signing up for something. But if you\u2019re afraid to go to a formal event alone, relationship experts also suggest making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.self.com\/story\/dating-without-apps\">small changes to your routine<\/a>, like signing up for a different workout class at your regular gym. Making small changes feels easy because you\u2019re only veering slightly outside of your comfort zone, but these changes still allow you ample opportunities to meet and practice talking to new people.<br><br>Once you meet someone who intrigues you\u2014whether romantically or just as a friend\u2014how exactly should you approach them? In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-fine-art-of-small-talk\/\"><em>The Fine Art of Small Talk<\/em><\/a>, Debra Fine recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-fine-art-of-small-talk\/1-page-summary#the-four-steps-to-a-successful-conversation\">the following strategies to converse with strangers<\/a>: Make eye contact with someone who\u2019s also alone. Smile at them\u2014if they smile back, walk up and introduce yourself. Learn their name and break the ice with anything you can think of; the key is that you show <em>genuine<\/em> interest in their answer. Ask open-ended questions to keep the conversation going. And at the end, regardless of whether they provide their contact information, express gratitude for conversing with them: This leaves the other person feeling good and makes you seem confident.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ury\u2019s second strategy is to <strong>go on blind dates<\/strong> set up by people you know. To do this successfully, first ask your connections for help, describe the type of person you\u2019re looking for, and send them some good photos of you. Then, actually <em>go<\/em> on the date\u2014and always provide feedback. They\u2019ll appreciate your gratitude if it was a great date. Otherwise, telling them what you liked and what you didn\u2019t will help them provide you with better options next time or allow them to gently point out if you\u2019re being unreasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Other relationship experts have additional strategies for getting set up and still maintaining a good friendship. First, your friends might be reluctant to set you up because they\u2019re worried about the outcome, so when asking for introductions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glamour.com\/story\/dating-how-to-get-set-up-succe\">specify that you won\u2019t blame your friends if the relationship goes south<\/a>. Second, if you\u2019re nervous about a one-on-one date, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boundless.org\/blog\/setting-up-friends-and-being-set-up-the-dos-and-donts\/\">ask to go on a double date<\/a>, which can help relieve some of the initial awkwardness. Third, while <em>you <\/em>should always provide feedback, don\u2019t pester your friends for your date\u2019s opinion of you, which may result in an awkward situation.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to give offline dating a try?
