What is the most effective way to date in Paris ?

Relations

I moved to France about 2 years ago from an English speaking country, for work. I just turned to 30 yrs recently and would like to find someone who wants to build a long term relationship and if possible, lead to marriage and kids.

[Edit: I deleted my financial status here. My original idea is to show that I am financially independent] I love traveling and exercising, and I’ve made many friends since I moved here. I think the best choice I made in recent years is moving to Paris, my life is amazing except I couldn’t find the one.

I tried dating apps. It’s exhausting and not efficient. Sometimes when I see the “1000+ people liked you” makes me feel… I don’t know… just a bit sad. Maybe I should make more effort, but answering the same questions over and over again on dating apps is really not my thing.

So my question is, except dating apps, what would be the most effective way to date in Paris ?

P.S. I am a straight woman.

Thank you very much!

Edit: Depuis que je suis arrivée à Paris, j’apprends le français et je fais vraiment des efforts pour m’améliorer. Mais pour ce genre de questions, je préfère répondre en anglais, parce que c’est plus facile pour moi de m’exprimer exactement comme je veux.

French grammar can be quite challenging for someone whose native language is not a Romance language, so I hope everyone can be a little understanding and patient about that. Merci bien🙏🏻
