No if you want to find someone that you really connect with just going out and doing the things you like to do and pursuing your hobbies in a public setting youll come to find someone you really enjoy being around. I think if you put your self in social settings i.e (clubs, conventions, float trips, bars, and on and on...) you have a way higher chance of finding someone you connect with. But i know some that have found success via the dating app although rare.
