Dating - not the usual question

I worked really hard in college for the last 4 years and will soon start at a great company that is not located in a major city (think of a city like Sacramento but not Sacramento).

I have 0 friends in the city I’m moving to and will be working with mostly much more senior guys.

I am single and would love to ask you what is the best way to find a girlfriend in a situation like that?

(Oh, and there are exceptionally few decent girls on dating sites/Tinder in that city, I hate clubbing and would rather not pick up random chicks in the gym. I’m decently attractive, but quite picky and not that social).

thanks for exhausting my only two suggestions, Lou.

  • Dating apps
  • Meet girls through friends like a lot of people do --- you'll build a social network through your coworkers and their friends, etc.
  • cold approach pickup (going and talking to people you find attractive because standing around doesn't yield)

That's all I can think of now, but regardless by having Tinder and being cool with your co-workers, you'll meet people and slowly build a friend circle. Hope that helps?

It depends on the city, if its a small city like Charleston or Baltimore, where the female to male ratio makes dating as easy as shooting fish in a barrel, then load up tinder/bumble and swipe away.

If its a small city like Denver or Austin, where the ratio is unfavorable, you may want to negotiate a more impressive title with your employer and build your match.com or hinge profile, or join a church.
