Do you want to hit on random women, or do you want to meet people and make friends and possibly someone to be something more? If the latter, I think you have to look at clubs or activity groups where you can find people with common interests.

I have never seen anything happen in the gym or the grocery store or at church. I think these places are where married people imagine that all the hot action is.
Do you mean they are fantasizing while comparing the sugar content of poptarts?

I'm asking women because I'm working off of the theory that if the men here actually knew anything about meeting women, they wouldn't be posting here!

--Mark
Time to reformulate the theory as a number of menz here are in relationships or married and they enjoy the boards. Same for some of the fems.

I am open to meeting someone at church or through a friend. I am in my thirties so I don't like the bar scene. Sheesh I am a mom and don't have time or energy for that. In my area - mostly drunk people hang out at bars - no lie.

The only problem is that I have guys watching me for years before finally approaching me. What can I possibly do to help them over come their shyness I am very friendly and love to chat

To the ladies...the best place to meet men is Sunday afternoons at the local sportsbar. About 90%+ of the patrons will be guys, and most are there focused on watching a good football game....not out there scouting around for some easy/drunk fluzy to hookup with on a one-nighter, so you shouldn't have the usual vultures all over you. Plus its a Sunday afternoon so most of them won't be quite as drunk and stupid as the guys in a bar at midnight on Saturday (well at least not as drunk). Alot may be married guys but you actually have plenty of opportunities for decent conversations with some good single guys (no loud bands, no booming music to scream over either). That's what I tell most single girls anyway whom are looking to find a respectable men in an environment that isn't very threatening, awkward or embarrassing.

I knew a group of guys who did the math and realized that large numbers of fit, financially secure single women ride horses. Off they went to a classy place to take riding lessons, and lo and behold, they all ended up dating cuties they met at the barn.

I dated for a reeeally long time. I have lots of ideas!
I thought for sure you were going to say "lo and behold, the class ended up being all men"

I took tennis lessons at a junior college one semester (back when I lived in the Silicon Valley). The class had 50 people in it: 48 single guys and 2 married women (who played against each other). The next semester my roommate suggested that we take ballroom dance. I could just picture 50 guys all arguing about who was going to lead this time. When I got to Texas, I took up ballroom and enjoyed it, but never got a date out of it (over 2 years of lessons).

Seriously though, the horse back riding sounds like a good idea (especially around here).

I seriously doubt you will meet many men in a needlepoint store. Now, if you want to go to a store only frequented by men, try a game store.

1) Smile at them and make eye contact.

2) When they do talk to you, use more than one word answers (if you like to chat, then you already have this down).

3) When the guy talks about doing something, say "I would love to do/try that." For example, if the guy says he is looking forward to the new XXX movie, say "I want to see that too!" If he says he found a nice hiking trail, say "I've been looking for a new place to hike." If he says he just got back from spending 2 weeks scuba diving in Indonesia, say "I've been looking for someone who will take me to Indonesia!" Basically, give him the opening to say "would you like to go with me."
