    23 isn’t particularly old at all.

    If you don’t want to do online dating, try doing something where you will meet other people your age.

      What are those things? I’ve been trying to figure out where people meet people since I was 22. I’m 30 now and still couldn’t tell you where to go to meet people.

        If you like running, join a running group.

        If you like biking, join a biking group.

        If you like _____, join a _____ group.

        Yeah, the people in those groups won’t all be your age, but there is likely to be some variance, and you already have one interest in common.

          This is key. And if you don’t get along with one, that’s ok, look for a different group.

          If you don’t have any interests, browse meetup or something looking for something that you might enjoy. You can just try things, and it’s probably good for you to do so.

          My general recommendation is board game groups are awesome. They often split up into people interested in social games and people interested in a more involved game (I like both, but my wife wants the most difficult and involved fame she can attempt to solve). Sitting there chatting as you do something fun is basically a cheat code to making friends and community.

        If like old/ medieval shit, look into your local SCA. It’s the Society for Creative Anachronism, and at least in my area, it’s full of all sorts of neurospicy people that are fun to hang out with and learn new skills from.
