Reply #19: As a single guy, let me caution on the "bookstore" etc. suggestions: [View All]

People often say women should meet men at the bookstore, the supermarket, etc.

I say NO.

Girls, the only kind of guy who is going to start flirting/hitting on you in places like that -- completely sober, under the harsh florescent lights of retail establishments -- is going to be a total operator/"playa" or whatever people are calling it these days. Stay away from those guys!

I actually come back to the bar option -- sure, the "bar scene" as we think of it is no good, instead, try to find a nice, pleasant, low-key bar in your neighborhood with a good vibe (and adaquate seating)-- you can meet some nice guys that way, I think, or at least have some good conversations with total strangers.

Happy hunting!
