Hey, a buddy of mine broke up with his gf a while ago and wants to start looking for a new one, but isn’t sure where to go to meet people his age (27). I haven’t dated in a while and am not sure where to recommend. It can’t be anywhere that serves alcohol, as he is 3 years sober and doesn’t want the temptation. Any suggestions I can pass on?
Where to go to meet people?

Was about to comment a bar/club until I read the last lines.. maybe at a place that includes his hobby? So maybe at a concert of his favorite band, or any other hobby he has. I hope my advice can help your friend since I don’t do this a lot, and I feel like I’m in kind of the same situation. Best of luck!!
Tell him to just live his life, engage in his hobbies, be himself, and as cliche as it sounds his people will find him. When we stop chasing and just sit in the comfort and contentment of ourselves that’s when we make the best connections.
I meat 🍖 people at the butcher shop 😅
The best advice I’ve heard in this vein is to get out of the house everyday and follow a standard routine that allows you to be around the kind of people you’d like to meet at the same time, same place, most days. So if you’re wanting to meet someone who’s into yoga, for example, go to a few different classes a week and go consistently. Or a hiking/biking/outdoor-whatever-thing every Saturday. Or Italian language club, or whatever it is you actually enjoy doing. From there friendships will develop naturally that might become something more.
