Meeting a new guy

So I broke up with my first love a little while ago, and I want to move on. However, I don’t know how to meet guys in real life. I met him on a dating app, but I don’t want to go back on there bc he has a lot of friends, and a lot of them are on there and I really don’t want that sort of awkward accident.

Where do you normally met guys? I can’t really hang out at a bar or something bc I’m 19, and I don’t really know any other place you would meet new people.

Can anyone help with this? Where did you guys meet your partners?
