I (35m) am sober now for over 10 years. I’m divorced, and have used dating apps to some success. Many matches, many talking phases, many first dates, several second third and +++ dates, a couple of short term girlfriends.

It’s different from before I was with my ex wife, but I’m more established in a career, wiser, more confident, but still wondering where are some great places to approach in the real world. Apps are so so, but being sober I’m skeptical on going to bars, clubs, lounges.

I’m open to any and all suggestions, including anyone who has been sober and also picked up in clubs, bars, lounges.

Thanks in advance.
