Lets see what you got: college advice.

Spend more time on compus than you need; try to base your recreational choices there.

Pick from the recreational options that have representation by the target type of women.

You're right, though: this is as good as dating will ever be.

Hi yeahyeah,

My daughter (24) and my son (26) are both college students. Neither live on campus. My daughter goes to community college, and my son goes to a private college of the arts and they do not have on-campus housing. Of course I'm their mom, but I would say they are both very good looking, especially my son.

They've both had a hard time meeting people. There are a lot of flaky people at community college, and a lot of really snobby ballerinas and quirky musicians at the arts college (my son is majoring in concert piano).

So... my son and daughter both signed up for Match.com a couple years ago.... and Match actually sent them EACH OTHER as a match!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!

Happy ending for daughter though, she married a wonderful, successful man (computer programmer for Microsoft) that she met on match.

My son pretty much gave up on match and he just signed up for eharmony yesterday. He is already in OC with a young lady.

Based on your schedule as described above, I would recommend on campus clubs. Just "being on campus more" isn't going to help, unless you are spectacularly good at just walking up to people and introducing yourself. Are you at a fairly good-sized college? If so, they probably have about a zillion clubs. Join a couple that you are truly interested in, but that also have the potential to have women in them. (In other words, the electrical engineering club or the star trek fan club is not likely to have many women members.) This advice is also good for making new male friends as well--in which case the male oriented clubs might be better for that.

Clubs that I think would be potentially good for meeting women (but only if you truly agree with their agenda): political clubs i.e. young republicans, environmental clubs, religious clubs, hobby clubs.

I don't know if you are religious, but if you are, church is one of the best places on earth to meet someone. I'm serious. Big churches will have large, active groups specifically for college students.

Coffee houses near campus might also be a place to hang out, maybe do a little studying or some light homework there. I said "coffee" and not "bars" because I get the sense you aren't really looking for the kind of girl that gets picked up at a bar. But you could actually have a real conversation in a coffee house.

This last suggestion might be lame, I'll have to defer to people your age, but I am thinking since you are really into exercise/working out, you could join a class at the gym, such as yoga, that are more female-dominated. ???

Oh yeah, here's one more, I did this in college. Play on an intramural sports team. They are required to have a certain balance of men/women on the team. I played softball on a team in college and it was really fun!

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but good luck!! :-)

It's probably just a reality that a lot of college age girls aren't looking to 'settle down' just yet. Maybe you should consider doing the same.
