What is the best way for guys to meet girls besides clubs and bars? It seems like clubs and bars are the popular spots to meet girls, however where are some places people can meet girls if they're not into clubs or bars? Question for girls: Where would you hang out in order to meet your new bf?

i would say def the library

[daulism]

i've always thought about meeting my husband at an orphanage, us two volunteering together..
you can join a extra curricular actvity, like public art/music/etc classes? maybe you can get to know a chick at a yoga class, dont women ask men to join them in those kinds of things? XD maybe they'll find you sexy (while your guy friends might call you well, gay)

[visuelz]

I ask myself that question everyday. Since i just graduated and I work in an engineering field, I don't meet women easily. An interesting spot would be Starbucks. I always see people asking if a seat is available so that may be a way to get started.

[chamisul]

If you love starbucks, you must love starbucks counter chicks, some of them are hot, well at least in my area ^^

Or go find them in the hospital, and give them corny flowers to begin with... kkkk

[jhealizzie]

that's easy.

orgs or clubs.(school)
join them.

ooops.
forgot the word "post-college"
ahe

how bout
gyms , bible study or from a common friend.
ask them to introduce you to women.

People, post-college means AFTER college. Which means no more school and school-related clubs and activities.

Most people I know meet their s/o's through friends who introduce them. It seems to work pretty well.

I would never go to a bar or club to try to scope for potential bfs. Coffee shops sound like a good idea, or meeting friends through friends and doing group dates.. anywhere but a bar or club.

^ agreed. i'm not saying all guys that go to clubs and bars are sleazes, but the good majority are... i don't think it's a good place to be looking for a potential partner. that said, i actually did meet a guy at the club (it was for a birthday party, though) and have been dating them on/off.

meeting through friends is a pretty good way, and might be easier since you've at least got some sort of connection already.

Concerts. But I wouldn't buy concert tickets just to scope out potential g/fs, gotta like the music too.

On a more serious note, I am not post-college myself but from hearsay from friends and others (and some speculating of my own), you could also go to bookstores (not just libraries) or really, any store targeting special interests like music, art, etc- whatever you're into. ((Maybe not clothing stores, especially Victoria's Secret. That's just a little creepy. )) Because if they're in there, especially in a section you would frequent, it could mean that you share similar interests, and that could mean a potentially better start than getting it down on the dance floor. The idea's the same though, you see a girl across the dance floor or bookstore floor or CD store floor who you find attractive, you approach her and start up a conversation. I was in a Barnes and Noble once and a guy came over and struck up a conversation with me about poetry (cuz I was in the poetry section).
Or get a dog and walk it around the park, hang out at a bench and play fetch for a while. But these activities require a more proactive approach (you go up to the person.)
If you're looking for something that'll just put you in a situation where you're put in a group that requires everyone to interact in some way, it really depends on your own interest and amount of freetime. You could join charity organizations, volunteer at institutions (hospitals, libraries, etc), attend classes (for fun, not for a degree), etc.

I've seen leaflets around for some dating service for professionals and you had to fill out your education and work history lol

personally, I will most likely not take a guy i met at a club/bar seriously.

but yeh books and coffee sounds good to me. theatre maybe?

if you feel extra confident, you could strike up a conversation with someone u saw on trains/buses...

Quite a lot of posts from you recently, ehh?

Women are EVERYWHERE. You don't need to go to a special place to meet them. Although certain locations will attract different crowds. You can potentially met women anywhere during your day to day errands, and by simply walking around.

my sociology professor suggested going to eharmoney.com instead of the usual bar/club during a off topic discussion in class . lol..his partner was actually from eharmony.

as a girl myself, myspace/facebook/xanga/tweeter is where i get approached often. it is good for easy conversation starters, but it is lame to talk to someone you've never met via internet. i'd say go to as many parties as possible and meeting girls through friends is a sure bet. coffee shops and bookstores are also great places. best of luck!

[LUVSSOURCREAM]

church.

church has become the new 'bar' or it has been. blah

[Tranberry]

Meeting through mutual friends! That's always a good one (although I guess it might be a bit awkward if you were to break up). Or like others have been saying, at coffee shops/bookstores/volunteering. If you're 20+ try looking at some of the threads in that section. I think I saw a thread that was similar to yours in there.

[supa'Wanki]

in the most spontaneous places and occasions.

[lintintin]

Put time out to volunteer in some organization... you're bound to meet a nice girl there.

[g1na1011]

classes?? and then ask to study together? =P

Public transport.

My mum told me the story once a girl riding a full bus accidentally let out some gas. One weird commuter raged "who farted?! WHO FARTED?!"

Her face went red, but the guy standing next to her said "I did".

... they got married
