If You Are In Your 30s And Don’t Want To ‘online Date’, What Are Some Other Options?

I’m almost 30 and don’t want to date people at work.
I’m at a loss as to how/where to meet good single men and re-enter the dating world.
Any advice?
I’m a non drinker,non smoker, not into the bar or club scene.
I’ve tried the gym, yoga, and cooking classes.
Will men approach me or do I have to approach them?
Are men afraid to approach women today?
Would a man think I’m crazy if I started talking to him & asked him for a coffee/tea?
I wish men were more comfortable striking up a conversation and asking women out if they saw her at a grocery store, bookstore, coffee shop, etc.
How do people date today? I’ve tried online and it’s not for me. I’ve tried meeting through friends but they’re all married with kids (30s-40s).
Tips?

I Feel Like I’m Running Out Of Options?

Ok, so my last girlfriend left me because she’s gay. She’s the only girl I have ever dated, and one of the few who lives up to my standards. I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, or fool around, and I’m a devout Christian. From what I’m told, I am pretty good looking (“adorable! gorgeous eyes! like a Roman statue!) and I am VERY intelligent. However, most girls at my college are superficial preps who are absolutely incompatible with me. I feel like I’m running out of options for finding someone. Every day, some formerly innocent girl loses her innocence, does drugs, or drinks alcohol. My pool of potentials is slowly dwindling. I’m no good at small talk–I hate small talk, and I’m only good at discussing serious matters.
Should I consider online dating sites? I’m only 19 and a freshman in college, but I don’t think my situation will get any better. However, I feel like it would be the loserish way out, and there’s no guarantee that I’d find someone compatible with myself. What should I do?
