    Figure out what you can do to help people in your community or neighborhood and you’ll end up meeting some nice people

      I haven’t been to the local food bank in a while, but last time I did it was mostly populated with kids that had community service and retired people that are still spry enough to sort cans and had the time to spend a saturday doing it. There were a few people employed by the state that were about 15yr older than me (now, prob 20-25y older back then), and I’d prefer someone a little closer in age if possible. The local womens shelter would be helpful, but something tells me that’s not a great place to meet women (is joke, is ok), and addiction services would be helpful but you’re not supposed to date people you meet in AA so while I’m not addicted to alcohol and could theoretically sponsor someone, that’s a weird power dynamic and again not supposed to date.

      Maybe I’ll take a shift at the food bank and see what’s up, I guess if some woman there my age has community service I can bet she’s probably fun at least and see where it goes. If not at least I sorted some potatoes for 8hr in the deadly heat on my only day off and got to talk to some cool 75yos and make a new weed connect who is 16.
