Cooking or Wine Class
Italian, Japanese and Thai cooking classes, as well as wine tasting events/courses, tend to attract a good mix of both sexes. And what better excuse for a dinner date than trying out what you’ve learned in class?
Walk the Line
The bank, the post office . . . they’re all great places to meet men in a chill environment where you can casually strike up a conversation.
Home Improvement Stores
Find a way to strike up a conversation. You are both there for a reason, just try to figure out what her reason is and offer assistance.
Gourmet Club or Dinner of the Month Club
Share a meal with many, then share a meal for two. This is an easy way to meet women. There are other people there to converse with so the pressure is not focused on the two of you. It’s one of the most relaxed environments you can have for both parties.
On-Line Communities
Communities for networking and dating are great as long as you are looking for the right reasons and in age appropriate groups.
School PTA Meetings, Bake Sales, The Annual School Play
Many single mothers attend these events because they are usually the one who are involved in their child’s school activities.
Dance and Language Classes
These are classes where people need partners to practice or study. Men should be aware that many single women love to learn and to take classes. It is important to take classes you would also be interested in, so that you can genuinely share similar interests.
Trains and Planes
There is plenty of down time at the airport and on a train. It is the perfect time to drum up a conversation with a woman. Take off the iPod, put down your newspaper and keep your laptop turned off so you don’t miss your fellow passengers.
Shop ‘Til You Drop
Go shopping for your favorite female (mother or sister) and see who else may be doing the same for herself. In this case, don’t offer assistance, ask for it.
Your Favorite Bookstore
Browse a big, open area, like the home and garden section or the magazine stand. Since bookstores quiet, the way to meet people here is througbh non-verbal communication: a nod, a smile and then-- if the response is good-- a hello.
