How to meet someone during Coronavirus

I’m a ‘young’ 45-year-old woman, happy and confident in myself. Never married, no children, live by myself. I keep myself well, healthy and fit (had an injury recently that halted my fitness routine, but thankfully its getting better now and I can get back to my old fit self).

I’m slim and fairly attractive, have lots of hobbies and I’m quite content in my life in general. I’m an introvert so don’t mind long spells of time on my own. But I have done lots of extroverted things in the past - been on stage, event managed things, and other independent things like travelling on my own. So I’m not afraid of getting out of my shell (not all the time though).

I was running my own business before Covid, but it got hit hard and I had to sign on the dole. But I’m working on another business at the moment and am determined and hopeful of making it a success.

I tend to be a bit of a loner though. I have friends I meet up with from time to time but always seem to spend a lot of time by myself. I also find that over the years I’ve ‘lost’ friends to marriage and babies.
So last year I decided to join Meetup to expand my social circle - I went to a few things before Covid struck and was in the middle of setting up an interest group and then we went into lockdown.
There’s nothing happening on Meetup at the moment due to the restrictions.

I signed up to dating websites over the years and I met a couple of people but to honest it doesn’t seem worth all the crap you have to put up with on them. Also if you’re over 40, it’s almost a waste of time as you fall out of people’s ideal age range.
I did sign up to Tinder there about a month ago and nothing had changed. I did hide my age, because I wanted to be judged as I am (like when you meet someone in real life - they wouldn’t know your age straight off the bat). I was going to tell them my true age if they asked though. I just wanted an ‘advantage’, so to speak. Anyway I deleted the app after a month as I was paying for this privilege and to be honest I’d rather meet someone in real life.

Meetup seemed to be a good way of meeting people but unfortunately nothing is happening there at the moment. I do voluntary work from time to time and did some during lockdown but they are usually once off things and I like to do the voluntary work not with the sole reason of meeting someone (but it would be a nice extra, I suppose!)

By the way the reason I haven’t come close to marriage in the past is because I had Daddy issues and would be attracted to non-committal guys. Unfortunately I only found this out at around 40 years of age which is a pity, because I had a much better social life when I was younger and there was more of a chance of meeting someone and doing the marriage/baby thing. But such is life. To be honest this does make me depressed (and I do go through depressive episodes) but you know I have a lot to be grateful for and am a positive person in general. I also have nieces & nephews which I adore, so that helps with my maternal side.
I know the type of guys to avoid now too.

Also although I’m a warm & friendly person, I sometimes might give off a bit of an ice-queen vibe, usually in social situations as I’m not that comfortable in them and can be a bit shy. So this could be a deterrent for men?

So my question is how do you meet someone during Coronavirus when you’re single? I’ve watched girlfriends chat and flirt with guys in everyday life and I have never been able to do this. I just feel awkward. Needless to say, these girls always had some form of boyfriend.
Do I need to work on my flirt game? I’m kind of embarrassed asking this when I’m in my 40s - I’ve just always found it difficult to meet boyfriends. It was always a drunken kiss in a niteclub that turned into something for me.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
Thank you
