How do people know what to do in life?

I'm heading to age 28 and I now am looking into doing one of my hobbies at home which is breeding reptiles as I always wanted to do this just haven't had time or money to out into it etc.
Anyhow - I am kind of worried because if I do this, it will be at home so I won't be mingling with anyone around my age 😅
At heart I still feel like a 17 year old :( I am girl version of Peter Pan/ a free spirit whos been caged by life's bull crap.
I wanted a chill life and I wanted to meet a partner. How will I ever meet anyone whos suitable if I'm at home breeding reptiles? Due to lockdowns and all that, my best bet is to have an at home job. I'm not getting any younger, looks fading errr daaay:/
I dont want to work in retail or for a boss, been there done that and its toxic af!
So you tell me, how does one meet the person of heir dreams when they're not going to be subjected to a huge array of people? 😑
I yearned for a romantic connection, being able to simply cuddle someone and share a bond and support to one another ❤ 💕
I tried ALL apps and im not wanting to be long term with a guy either.
I know what I'm looking for but I'm afraid whatever job I get into, whether it be establishing my own business at home or working some place else, that I will only be subjected to who ever people are there.
The peak of energy is in 20s which are almost gone. A complete waste of time the ill be in my 30s when most people probably found their s.o or at least have a kid/s which ofc will be their priority, giving little time to their s.o.
Please help me navigate my future?
Tips would be great 👍
