Increasing numbers of people don't drink--which rules out bars. And you seem to be suggesting actions with a hookup as the desired objective--not of much use for those who desire a relationship rather than a hookup.
By "club" do you mean hobby type things? It's perennial advice but it has the serious flaw that to a large degree you encounter the same people over and over, most of whom are too young/too old/not available.
I'm married so I'm not looking but as a game I have paid attention to the suitability of those I get to know--and the number of relationship prospects approximates zero.
"Increasing numbers of people don't drink--which rules out bars."
It is possible to not drink alcohol at a bar and still have fun, but I also never liked bars to meet people.
And "clubs", no he did not meant a "hobby thing", but a place where you can dance and enjoy music.
Dancing is a very old way of hooking up.
Back in time it was the village dance, where the young people got close. And this still works, either in formal settings like a dance studio - or free style on a dance floor.
Dancing is body language and you can signal to other people, whether you are interested, or not. And then you get close, or apart.
It is general advice. Even if you're taking it slowly, you need to somehow let the person you are interested in know that they will enjoy hooking up with you someday, or they won't stick around to wait for you.
Edit: I still need to emphasize the public element. Don’t let your co-workers and friends know you’re into them (at least don’t blame me if you do)
