Maz, don´t worry about it. This is probably the one thing you don´t have anything to do about, you´ll just meet someone whenever you´re not expecting it, in the most unexpected circumstances. My best friend met her husband in an airplane, he was from Europe and they had a long distance relationship for years before they got married about 15 years ago. Does that mean you have to hop on planes to meet some guy? No, of course not! It just happens, perhaps there is some kind of destiny? At least that´s how these things seem to work.
I met my first serious boyfriend during a concert, I noticed him staring at me and we just started talking and it clicked inmediately. He asked me out for the next day but I already had something else to do, but some days later we bumped into each other in an academy I went to for music lessons. It turned out we had both been going there for a year, so it was very likely we would have gotten to know each other sooner or later. Other boyfriends I´ve had I met through friends, like when I went to a birthday party or whatever, but it was always unexpected.
There is also this older lady I know (she´s in her 60s) who met her husband while standing in line at the post office. They started chatting, found out they were both widowed and fell in love.
It seems nowadays people get on the internet to meet their significant other, I´ve no experience with that but it seems to work for people who don´t have much time to socialize. My impression is that actively looking for a romantic relationship is a bit forced, like you can´t really make things function that way if it´s not meant to be, you know? It´s not like ordering something from a menu. But it might be a way to get to know new friends and not to feel isolated for example. The same goes for joining a club or pursuing a hobby, but it must be something you´re genuinely interested in, otherwise you´ll only get frustrated.
So just have a little faith, it´ll happen sooner or later!!
