shy2cool Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm out of college/university now, so that isn't the best place... Link to comment
rocio Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 It's not about the place. There are women everywhere you go - everywhere you look. Get in the habit of making eye contact and striking up conversations. Don't focus so much on "picking up" women. Just be friendly. Link to comment
chai714 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I have found becoming a regular at any hangout place to be a good bet in meeting people. This past year, an Italian restaurant ended up being a gold mine where I dated the manager. After that ended, I've recently hung out with a few female employees all because I was a regular there and got their numbers. It seems the best ways of meeting people are through friends. Your friends who have female friends who also have friends. It's just a matter of getting out of the house on a routine basis and finding out where the "hot spots" are, especially during the week. Monday might be one place, Wednesday might be another place, and Thursday might be another place. Also, find out where your local bar/restaurant has "college night." That might be an excellent source for you. Good luck and have fun. Link to comment
Day_Walker Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Women are all around you, and you can meet them any where. The key is to be friendly and dont come off creepy. Link to comment
cpc28655 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 You can meet really nice ladies anywhere. However, there are a few places IMO that I think should be avoided. 1. The workplace - can be more trouble than it's worth. Conflict of Intrest. 2. Family reunion - that one speaks for itself, that is just awful. 3. Women's prision - unless you enjoy dangerous women. 4. Anyone who works in radiology - they will see right through you! LMAO Ok, that last one was stupid, but I thought it was funny. Link to comment
shy2cool Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Well see, I don't have that many friends. I'm not close to any of them really, and the ones that I am closer to, don't have any girls to introduce to me. That girl I was talking about in the other thread, well.. I'm hoping that I can get to meet her friends. Link to comment
chai714 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 In this case, let's get to the root of what you can improve on, which seems to be your conversational skills and making friends. A good start would be to browse a book called, "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie. This is the bible of making friends and has withstood the test of time. There is another one by Jeane Martinet called, "The Art of Mingling" which discusses how to jump from one group to the next in a public setting. It's also a decent source. Hope this bit helps.

terk2021 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Great question! There are plenty of places to meet women. Besides church groups, or sports groups, or friends, and professional and single organizations... I think the best place/time to meet women is out on weeknights. That may sound strange, but the weekends, at least where I live, are a bunch of guys flocking crowded bars where the ratio is way to many guys. Almost looks like "gay" bars sometimes Stop by some good local bars after work on weeknights, and hang out, have a drink or two, and a maybe some dinner. There are usually groups of single women hanging out on week nights because they don't want to hang out in the over crowded bars on the weekends. Plus, it's easier to talk when it's not so loud. Good luck... Link to comment
shy2cool Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 I work at night, but it's great on Friday, because I finish when everybody hits the pubs/clubs (12am). Link to comment
denisemarie Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Anyone who works in radiology - they will see right through you! LMAO Way too cute I'm taking that one to work. I think it depends on your region and what you like to do. What do people do where your from and what are your interests? For example, in San Diego where I'm at everyone hangs at the beach, park, desert, or coffee shops. Night clubs are great if that's what you want to do with someone when you go out. If you like to read go to a book store where you can meet someone with a common hobbie. I think you get my drift. Link to comment
cpc28655 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I was actually told that by a radiology tech I dated about 8 years ago. Link to comment
shy2cool Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 I don't just want a partner, I want people that like to go out too. That girl I was talking about before, doesn't want to go out to these places it seems. I've asked her twice. Link to comment
cpc28655 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Simply put, find one who does. It's all about compatibility. Link to comment
denisemarie Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I was actually told that by a radiology tech I dated about 8 years ago. That makes sense. Strange humor in the hospital. Link to comment
denisemarie Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I don't just want a partner, I want people that like to go out too Go where you like to hang out scan the crowd and maybe one evening "she" will appear. Then it's up to you to do something strange and unique to get her attention. Link to comment
cpc28655 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Denisemarie is right. Also, when you go to places where YOU like to hang out, you are more likely to meet ladies that have similiar intrests as yourself. Suppose you are a country music fan. You are not likely to meet someone with that same intrest at a Eminem concert, lol. (I know that is a crude comparison, but the principle is still the same) Link to comment
shy2cool Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yeah, but I aint going to a nightclub on my own. All the ones I go to with my 'friends' are filled with people I don't really want to be around. Link to comment
cpc28655 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 could you elaborate please? Link to comment
