Where to meet girls
Where do you guys (or girls) go to meet singles? I've had loads of work and responsibilities for a while and now I'm finally free of them... But I don't know what to do with myself when it comes to finding a girl. How did you meet your partner? I've tried online already and it's a total waste of time.

Get drunk the night before your sisters wedding and go to a house party, steal a cigarette from a girl then marry her 7 years later.

I find the best way to pick up girls is to lift with your knees, not your back.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, are there dances somewhere around you? I'm sure there are churches close by. I guess it depends somewhat on what type of person you are and what type your looking for.

Join a motorcycle club!
My roommate has met a couple of women on dating sites but that's a lot of work. Basically, do things you like, and do it with other people if you can. Friend-of-a-friend is a good route to meeting someone. |

I was at Maccas with my daughter, I saw a large breasted woman with a kid sitting at a table, I told my daughter to talk to the kid.
Bam, 15 years later we still laugh about how I used my daughter to pick my missus up. If you don't have a kid try a puppy. Or volunteer at a hospital, nurses are epic. |

I'm 20ish, so my experience is probably going to differ from yours, but here's what I've got:
How to get some wicked-hot slash/girlfriend/whatever: Get a read on them before you ask for a number or something. I once saw a dude say nothing to a cashier except a mumbled "canigeturnumber...?" The tiniest amount of smalltalk could have made that go smoother and be less awkward. Dude was probably nervous but honestly, make a joke or something. Even if you're a godlike muscle-man and just her type, you'll get much further if you can prove you're worth their time through your actions. The way I see it, if they don't like my dumb jokes we're incompatible, anyway. Another really awkward but more common thing I see is dudes talking to girls that clearly aren't interested. If they just want you to leave, ****ing leave. Don't hold them verbally hostage. You're not going to convince them of anything. They're not even listening to you at this point. I once saw a dude in Autozone doing this to a female employee that I kinda knew, so I went in and leaned on the counter next to him all coquettishly asking him dumb questions in a flirty female-sounding voice. He got annoyed/embarrassed and left. Also, remember that even if you get frustrated, don't take it out on them. That's some freaky, rapey-looking stuff when you see a dude screaming at a girl because she didn't thank him for getting the door for her. Thanking them for their time and apologizing for the inconvenience should suffice (depending on how annoyed they seem). Good places to meet people, women, or anyone else: If you're an active person, mountain bike trails, walking trails, etc. Dances, clubs, etc as mentioned Local music scene (just make sure they're of age) Church (Not joking) Google: "Things to do in [YOUR CITY]" and there will be people there. Make it fun, too and bring a friend to these so worst case scenario, you had a good time with one of your pals. Bad places to meet people, women, whatever: Their place of work. They probably get hit on all day and would rather not, no matter how witty or attractive you are. They just wanna serve you your coffee and move on. Also! I'm fond of the book How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. It's been in print for a long time and, while I do have my issues with it, it's something I can recommend for any interpersonal relationship advice. Good book for sure. |

I got it for free when I purchased another book and was skeptical. Very nicely written and could be read just for entertainment if you wanted.

Lots of good ideas presented! I'll add some and them together. Yes, meet them doing mutually enjoyable activities!
1. First, attitude is key! What you think of yourself, how you see yourself fitting into world, what do you want to create in world. All these things come across to others. We are constantly communicating and broadcasting information about ourselves. You want to work on being the "right" person on inside before you can meet the "right" person on outside. So work on knowing who you are, what you stand for, what you are bringing to the world. Be truthful to yourself first. 2. That previous step builds confidence, which is portrayed in how you present yourself to world. It affects how you dress, how you stand, how you walk, how you talk, etc. All that says million things about you before you even talk to them!!! Don't shoot yourself in foot before you even open your mouth! 3. Don't waste your time or her time! Remember that there is no non-gender neutral communications. Guys will always talk to other guys differently than chics talk to other chics. And guys and girls talking is another completely different language. Listen to what she's saying. Don't small-talk too much. Really observe her vibes beforehand and absorb it. How does she fit into world? Look for something genuinely nice and unique about her. Something she's proud of. Sincerely compliment (not flatter) her on it. Look up the difference between compliments vs. flattery and between sincerity and honesty. These subtle distinctions are key. 4. Again, don't waste your time or her time. Be sure that you AND her are getting value for your time. Cut to the chase, let her know you're interested flirtatiously, but don't be heavy and pushy. "So ah, you got a boyfriend? Want a better one?" 5. If she laughs, she got a sense of humour and I continue. Otherwise cut bait and move on. Hot chics get hit on 15-20 times a day. Don't worry about things too much. Keep things light, flirt, tease, have fun in the moment. Work on being observant, flexible, listening, being truly sincere about compliments and that's way more material than you need. My wife said that first time she saw me was "wow" for her. That wasn't coincidental or accidental, I've been working on myself for years! It's not what you DO, as in pickup-artist tactics, but who you ARE as character, as personnae.

For me, the best place was in college. There's always a good variety of chicks there coming from different cultures. It really depends on what type of girl you are looking for, if you are an outdoor guy like me for example, you might run into a nice girl during a hike.
Time & cash flow will be a big factor, the more time and money you have, the better you are in finding your future partner. You want to be able to spend quality time with your potential someone at a minimum of lets say 2x a week to keep the connection consistent. If you work weekends, it's going to be a bit tough but not the end. Justin, I don't know much about you, so I wouldn't know what kind of girl you are interested in. I don't know what phase you are in your life as well. There's not enough details there, so I'm just generalizing. Girls are everywhere, so finding a girl is not an issue, it's a matter of time, money, and commitment. If you have those 3 ingredients, I am confident that you will find the girl of your dreams. The missing piece of the puzzle will finally appear.

What do you like to do for fun or what would you like to do for fun. Meetup.com is a good way to meet people and make friends (male and female) who like to do the same things as you. Go from there. I made a few very good friends on a skiing meetup.

I met my wife at a charity function for wildlife rescue. I think it also helps going to functions where there's more chics than guys. Cooking classes, salsa dances, etc. At many of these, I'm the only guy there!

Are you looking for a potential wife or you just want to get to know somebody at the moment ? It's OK to be out of the dating game. A girl might see that as a good sign and think that you are focused on your career and are looking for a companion. It's a lot better than being looked at as a player. Just my opinion, you don't wanna go to clubs or bars to find a girl. That's not the ideal place to find a real woman. Plus there is nothing to talk about in a bar. At least at a book store, you're there to buy a magazine and you just happen to run into her. Maybe you guy's have a topic, movie, genre in common...use that to strike up a convo. Now that we talked about possible locations, approaching women is another thing. Some women will approach you if you're not attentive enough to pick up her hints, which is the average guy. She has to leave bread crumbs to initiate the action. This does happen, but not all the time, you just have to play it by ear. If you are the one approaching, don't worry about being turned down, you just didn't find the person you are compatible with. Let's say you got her number, try to recollect your last conversation with her about what she is into or likes to do, and ask her on a date or go to an event with her a week or two later. Don't ask her what she likes to do on the first date, be creative. The key is to strike up a conversation, but really you are there to listen and get to know what she likes, and use that info to take initiative later on to make future plans. Don't pull the coffee shop thing, the girl will feel like she is being interviewed. Instead, opt for an outdoor activity. As long as you are courteous and you're willing to mix it up, you will do fine. Women love respectful and creative guys. Sorry if this is long winded, but it's better than just saying "Go get em". Anyways, good luck man!

In my experience, it's easiest to meet girls once you're already in a relationship, especially after you're married. I swear the ring is like a homewrecker magnet or something...
Seriously, here's the thing: You can't go out 'shopping' for a relationship because you think that's going to make you happy. It's not. You need to lose that mentality, relax and go do the things you're interested in, and eventually you'll bump into someone who's doing the same things and hit it off. Girls are looking for someone who's comfortable and well adjusted just doing their thing. Not someone who's obviously "on the prowl." I've been approached while just sitting with my crossword while waiting for breakfast - She 'noticed me' because it was part of my routine, and walking by that spot every day was part of her routine. Sometimes that's all it takes. Also, it probably helps to be ridiculously good looking.

Online dating sites can be a complete waste of time. Because most girls on there don't really trust anyone anymore. There are too many guys just using it to find their next piece of a$$, meal ticket, money making scam etc... It's possible, and I have met some interesting chicks on there a few times, but it takes putting in a lot of time and work, and some very carefully chosen words to make it happen. Just keep in mind 90% of them on there are gonna be crazy in some way or another, and unless you can handle that, its probably not gonna work out for long, haha.
Honestly, I've found overall that it's for the best to just do it the old fashioned way. Trying to meet them in person wherever you go, and just looking around and seeing who you might like, going up and starting a conversation with them. Eventually Steering the conversation torwards letting her know that your interested in her and would like to talk more sometime and get to know each other better. Then getting the digits. I met my current girlfriend, just one random day when I had to go to lowes to pick up some wood for a deck rebuilding project. She was a cashier there at the time, I saw her and went to her counter to checkout. We started talking about random stuff, and I could see her giving me the eyes, so I got her number. We talked over text for a few days, went on a few dates afterward, and ended up hitting it off well. Been dating for about a year now. We get along great, and genuinely enjoy spending time together. Even just hanging out doing nothing together at home, which very few chicks can do anymore. We also have a lot of the same interests which helps things out a lot. Unlike my last girl who I met online, ended up being a total psycho, and made my life much worse, lol. You gotta watch for those small mental illness signs that are usually very carefully hidden. Once you see them, run, before it's too late.
