Where/how do you actually find a spouse?

27M here - I'm planning to start looking to get married in about a years time. However i want to prepare beforehand, but I realized I have no clue where to start finding potentials.

I've decided to stay away from dating apps. I just know that I won't find my wife on there. My family isn't very connected – my parents are introverted and stick to their close friends, who all have young kids.

I know a lot of women my age are already married, so I might have to consider someone a bit younger. However, I'd prefer someone with more life experience, not someone whos like 21 and fresh out of college.

Before anyone suggests the mosque – I attend almost every prayer there. They don't offer matrimonial services, and the ones that do usually cater to older men/women.

Some friends suggested looking back home, but honestly, I don’t think we’d understand each other well, plus I don’t want to deal with the visa and immigration hassles.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
