Dating advice for privacy conscious (lemmy.world)

Due to my "privacy consciousness" (yes, you could call it digital paranoia, but that sounds as if i were ill and not just conscious about how data trade works in the age of total surveillance) dating apps are no options - the compromise i'm living with is owning, using and carrying a phine with me but without any non-free or known malicious (tracking, data-mining, spying, etc) software.

Any advice on how to get to know interesting people? How did you get to know your partners or acquantances? Did you just give in and opt for one or another dating platform?

i have never been diagnosed (nor do i think i suffer) but i'm almost 100% sure i'm not normal ;)

that being said i don't think my question was wrong: i am wondering how other people find people willing to go out on dates without opting for online dating-services. this is not really the same as "how do i get to know people", "how do i make friends" or "how can i become more interesting". i see how these questions can relate to mine but they are not really the same, unless the universal answer to my question was: "you live your life and ask out whoever you find interesting - just make sure to make negative responses easy and the whole situation not too weird"

but thanks for all the input, this gives me some indications how you people deal with the situation (:
