I used to be shy, but I think I've become really confident in myself over the last year. I just don't want to do things that are socially awkward. I've tried meeting guys online, and the ones I meet just don't seem to have the right spark. So how can I meet guys I might actually hit it off with? I'm not that picky when it comes to types of guys, as long as they're good guys in general; I just hope that I can find someone with aspirations of something long term. Any ideas?

 Over time you'll start to meet new guys, say when you start a new job or if you study, you'll meet people there.
Or try to find some kind of interest you like and see if there's any clubs or communities in the area
Otherwise, just keep an eye out and don't be afraid to explore the local clubs and bars etc. or possibly look into singles nights, just keep your eyes open :)

You need a hobby such as sports, going to the gym, or taking a community class. It also helps to find a regular hangout, such as somewhere you go for coffee a few times a week to sit back and read and scope the grounds. I wouldn't recommend online dating as a means to find something long term and real.

 There are meetup groups on the internet & they are a great way of meeting new people. They are not specifically dating sites so you have a much better chance of meeting new people male & female to expand your group of friends therefore giving you more opportunities to go out & meet people. Just remember most people feel a little nervous & love it when you go & introduce yourself it makes them feel special to have been noticed & makes you feel better because you had the confidence to break the ice. There are hundreds of people at any one time new to a city & putting yourself out there is the best way to make friends. Check out the meetup groups because they cover every kind of interest anyone may have & you just go along to the group that takes your fancy some have volunteers to welcome new members others are made up of singles any way so you are all in the same boat. Good Luck
