You meet people everywhere in everything you do. Many of these people are potential dates. I have had many occasions where I was interested in women I worked with or a cashier at my favorite store or a clerk at the bank, etc. All of these could have been dates had I asked them out and had they said yes.

If you aren't the shy type, striking up a conversation in a bookstore with the dude next to you who just happens to be reading your favorite author isn't a terrible way to get dates.

With all that said, the reason I liked eHarmony is I didn't have to worry about my match not being compatible with me. You could get tons of TERRIBLE dates picking up guys in bars and bookstores. Not to promise you won't have a bad date with a match from eHarmony but I know from experience your chances are better that you will find a great person on eHarmony rather than going on bad dates with random people who you may very well have nothing in common with.

I'm a part time student so I meet a lot of people at school. I think that can apply to every age....a friend of mine here on e Harm. Advice is a grand mother and she even meets men to date at school!

I also tend to go out with groups of other singles a lot as I'm not exactly looking for a new relationship..I am getting over a long one that wasn't healthy for me.

And last, I work part time as a waitress and have to say that I could go out after work every night if I wanted to. Of course I live in party central (Reno) where tourists are always looking to score. I don't date my customers for exactly that reason.

I think if you are active and get around you meet people to date anywhere.

Barnes & Noble or even the library ain't a bad idea at all. But in general the way I see it when it comes to prospecting..is..well just let it happen normally. For example I don't leave my house everyday and be like, "I will meet a lady today!". Nope i just go about my regular routine with work/business..the gym...my regular day to day activities and just be a social bunny talking to anyone and everyone even if they happen to be a guy! (Straight here) You never know what happens when you talk to anyone or what type of connections you can make!

I've meet people while I was in college in my classes and social functions. Now sadly I am out of college and I use eharmony as well as other online sites. I haven't been successful at bars, too many people. Plus I moved to a place I know no one. So it's really hard.
