Dating as a teetotal

I'm a 21 year old guy and I'm at the stage of my life where I want a girlfriend. I don't drink, smoke, or use drugs as my own personal choice. I have been suggested to check out bars to meet people but I'm not sure if I should since I don't drink. It's not a deal breaker for me if the other person drinks in moderation but I myself refuse to drink alcohol. Should I still meet people in bars or is there another social setting that would be better for me?

This is an incredibly difficult path. I wish I had advice for you. Be prepared to get swarmed with "just get hobbies and friends". If only it were so easy. There is very little to choose from out there. Try not to become discouraged.

Doesn't help when majority of your hobbies are male dominated.
