I don’t really see a good time in dating strangers, so bars and speed dating are unappealing. Same for dating apps. I’d rather have an outing with someone who I am familiar with and already jive with as a friend.

I don’t think that these stats really matter that much because I already know that I’m not represented in these stats. That’s obviously a biased view, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a incorrect for being biased.

Every stranger is a friend you haven’t met yet

  Not true - the vast majority of people you meet, you will not end up connecting with meaningfully. On top of that, you’re risking you and the other party’s social comfort. I’ve already had plenty of cases of people I find obnoxious and unbearable try to force themselves into my social spaces, and I would not wish that on anyone else, nor would I want to be that person.
  
  If people give off the right vibe or are maybe talking about the right thing when I pass by, I might chime in momentarily, but I’m not bothering strangers when there’s no indication of a connection.
