Lonley and need to places to meet people

Kinda need advice kinda just want to talk about it but I’ve been single 4 years. I dated someone for almost 4 years and it was unhealthy, after we broke up I told myself I wanted to give myself time to explore new people and not rush into anything serious. For a year I went out with a handful of guys to get to know different personalities nothing got super serious it was a nice way to see there was more out there then my toxic ex. After that I took almost a whole year without going out with guys. (in general I really haven’t been out with a lot of men I just want to make that clear haha) I wasn’t actively on the apps or pursing anyone,hoping it would just kinda happen naturally if it came my way. I finally felt ready for something serious after that year off,unfortunately my mental health took a turn and it put me in a spot where the few guys I did meet and go out with that I really liked I had to cut off to focus on my mental health. It really upset me just because I was really ready to have a partner again to do life with. Now don’t get me wrong I’m a strong independent lady but I do desire someone to do life with! And still being independent but wanting that closeness that you get with a partner. Life has started to feel more lonely, I have a great group of friends, great work environment, supportive family I feel very fulfilled in that aspect of life. But that part that desires a partner is lonely and everything that comes with that. All my friends are either engaged or married or having babies it’s that season of life and it almost enhances and is a bigger reminder that I don’t have it yet. Mentally and physically I’m in a good place and would love to find someone I could connect with. ( just a side note just because I want it I wouldn’t just jump into it with anybody so I’m not worried about that). My question is I’m tired of the dating apps I’m having no luck with that hardly anybody on there Wants something serious and a lot of the time they say they do and 3 months later I’m getting a text they aren’t ready for anything serious. I need new places to meet men people! The dating pool in my city sucks tremendously and there’s not many men that even look like they take care of themselves at least just on tinder haha. So please ladies give me some inspiration on ways to meet new guys!
