32M | Where do people actually find genuine partners these days?

Hi everyone!

​

I'm 32, have a stable IT career, and eventually hope to build my own software business. I've reached a stage where I'd genuinely like to find a life partner, but I'm honestly struggling to figure out where people meet someone who's looking for a serious relationship.

​

Dating apps haven't worked well for me, and even matrimony platforms often lead to ghosting or conversations that go nowhere.

​

For those who found their partner outside the traditional arranged marriage route:

​

Where did you meet?

What actually worked?

Any advice for someone looking for a genuine connection?

​

And on a lighter note... if anyone happens to know a kind, single Gujarati girl looking for a genuine guy... feel free to play cupid. 😄 I promise I'm nice, emotionally available, and only slightly dangerously cute. 😂❤️

​

Looking forward to hearing your experiences.
