Eastern shore dating

Hey, I am a 23 year old male, who recently graduated college, literally 8 months ago. I’ve lived on the eastern shore for all of my life* I’ve ventured out of Maryland to see friends and family/school. For my fellow eastern shoreians, where would you guy’s recommend going to find more friends, maybe a potential relationship at?

*I like to read, workout, play games and honestly, anything that happens to involve hiking or backpacking. I venture out to the bars, but majority of the people are either with their significant others or friends.
