Honestly, I've never used apps, I'm still old school, I'm a social person and out going and like to set myself up in uncomfortable situations anxieties be damned. It is tough and I'm pretty selective too, I like strong independant woman who don't "need" a man and have thier own lives, I date, takes 2 or 3 days to figure out if it should carry on and I won't settle. The secret to the super markets, when I was in Manitoba, wednesdays at Safeway were the singles nights, but if you go usually any afternoon around 4:30- 6:30, single women shop 2-3 days a week for their meals, they don't buy bulk, hang around the produce section, not the meat or frozen food sections, quality women eat right and shop frugel, produce spoils fast hence the 2-3 days a week. Make eye contact and always smile, not psycho smile, just smile, nod, say hi occasionally, it may take time but what else works is consistancy, regularity, small talk with the cashoers cuz they know allll the regular women customers, once you become a regular they start to notice, do NOT buy hot pockets and mountain dew red, they want a man, not a gamer or man child, it's alot of work but you eat healthy and you just never know. I frequent the same pubs, not bars unless youre into whoring, I'm over that. I get to know all the waitresses and they get to know you which helps when other women are around, take note tho, do NOT date a waitress if you're not gonna be serious, because of that, one of my haunts, I can't go certain nights, aaawwwkward. Take care of yourself maintenance wise, look good, feel good I always say, confidance. I know it's tough but I'm personable and always have someone introducing me to women like it or not but it certainly helps in the confidance department. NEEEVEEERRR talk politics, religion, or your shitty boss, ask questions about themselves, compliment even something as benign as shoe colour or handbag, they like to be noticed and they go thru great pains picking shoes and purses or hand bags etc. I could go on but baby steps right. Anyhow, good luck
