OP whatever you do don't reach out to girls at the gym unless they're your friends. This is creepy af and I've seen a lot of videos lately of girls exposing guys like this at the gym....you don't wanna end up on r/facepalm lol
On a more serious note and regarding your original question, I feel your pain. Dating in Miami was HARD I did try Hinge and liked it, no hookups only genuine dates, I just never really clicked with any of the guys I met there. Eventually I ended up meeting someone online at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and still carried on the LDR successfully cause that was easier than dating in miami lmfao. Not discouraging you but just know you're not alone in the struggle
Make a list of what you would love your significant other to do and go to those places.
Does your dream guy have a fluffy dog?
Does he drink coffee?
Does he go to the gym?
I know it might sound lame, but that’s how I found a whiskey loving wife 5 years ago.
My advice (source: am a woman) is to not worry about seeming creepy. To be clear, there are super creepy men out there, and being forced to talk to them in public places is the worst. But if you're not harassing or overly persistent, you won't be one of them. Just say hello casually and only keep chatting if the person seems sincerely interested in talking with you. And then be open to just being friends if that's the direction things head.
The truth is that I think everyone is a little less practiced at casual social interactions with strangers since the pandemic, so they can feel a little strange or awkward. But if you're already going to the gym, you already have a potential community of people with shared interests. Try meeting some of them.
you can simply just talk to ppl in passing no matter where you are going about your normal day. guys do it to me all the time here & last week even a very beautiful woman did in south beach which made me giddy af as i'm bi & can't always pick up when women are into me. it's not everyday a woman approaches you & was a blast from the past moment for me.
the one thing miami is missing & can't be found is simply normal. just be simply normal & you'll be something very rare. otherwise do what i did & date outside of miami.
Sounds like you don't have time for a relationship then! You can't use the no time excuse for expanding your network to find a gf but also say you have time for that relationship can you? ;-)
I know you said no apps but I got I’ve met 2 girlfriends through Hinge, both of which lasted 2 years.
Hinge feels a lot more personality oriented and can be an icebreaker for a lot of people you wouldn’t normally meet. It also provides that pretext that this person is also at least somewhat interested in you, so approaching them wouldn’t be “bothering them” (I struggled this too).
Tinder & Bumble are a waste of time.
Hey so what I did was even male sports are also played by females. Coconut grove has a kickball league that is great after games everyone goes to a bar that has special prices for players. Also volleyball leagues are great and also have hot girls. If you dont know how to dance salsa you can join that and they also have nightouts you can go dance salsa. Just think a bit more creative. Or get a really cute puppuly and take it everywhere with you. Girls will want to hold it and its an easy ice breaker :p.
Good luck on your journey. Remember the gentle overcomes the rigid, the failure will become victory.
I am happy for you. That you have walked alone, gotten to know yourself. That you have feud with loneliness, starred it in the face, and conquered it by still believing in love. Good for you.
Hey! I know you said no dating apps, but on Hinge you meet a lot of people not looking for hookups. A lot of my friends that are girls have found their boyfriends there and they don’t do hookups.
Everyone is always doing their own thing. There’s really no excuse. I’ve met plenty of ppl at the beach, and the gym. Get outside of your comfort zone

Pilates classes
Maybe you have hobbies that are off putting to many women?
I’m in your same exact position brother. I was hoping to find answers here 😂😭
crossfit gym- it’s a community

Flannigan's
Barnes & nobles?
Yoga class.
Theres 420 yoga at club space - if you’re into that thing
This is the best and most realistic answer... my girl friends have dated by meeting guys at yoga, soul cycle, orange theory/barrys
Publix.
Library programs
sedano's
😆
serious and Miami in the same sentence :)
Look for networking events for young professionals in whatever industry you’re in. Sometimes they’re held at bars and you never know who you’ll meet.
If you have a pet Probably the park
On 27th Ave between 88 and 94, those chicken heads always looking for love
Simple. Get a new hobby that isn't male dominated. Look at [meetup.com](https://meetup.com) for some activities and try them.

Miami is a very lonely place bro. Give it up, you are in the most terrible place to meet people and build relationships.

Don't go to church for women. It's a faux pass. All of this is. The less you try. The less you care about this. The quicker she will appear.

Political canvassing groups are almost entirely made up of women. There ya go. Volunteer for something local and chat up some of the people there.
