+1 to the previously mentioned dance classes. You usually rotate partners every so often, so you get to meet all the ladies. They’re usually really cheap, too, if not free. My school’s dance club (which I’m president of) is open to the public, and we sometimes get a couple people who heard about us from a friend. And on top of that, you learn how to dance, which can be applied to basically any dating scenario. Girls love a guy who can dance.

As for specific dances, as mentioned above, it’s probably best to stick with ballroom (waltz, tango, etc.), latin (salsa, cha cha, etc.), or swing (east/west coast, charleston). I’d suggest learning one of each; for example, you could learn nightclub two-step for slow songs, salsa for really upbeat music (and if you want to get a bit closer to that one girl), and west coast swing for anything else. If you’re lucky, you might find a place that offers multiple dances in one class. My dance club does one or two dances per term.

As a woman who has various city and country based hobbies, what I can say is – go socialize as much as you can in places and at events that you are interested in and care about. You will have more stuff to actually strike up a conversation about and not accidentally seem a creep. For example: I am an amateur photographer, so I often can be found at vintage rallies or open air museums; I run, so perhaps – the finish line of the local 10 mile charity run (nothing like the feeling of achievement to make you like everyone you see!)?

I agree about bookstores, but a little caveat: nothing worse than the guy who tries to ask you about the book you’re reading and obviously has no idea of the author or the topic/genre, so conversation dies after two lines! Awkward. Saying that, some of the best relationships I’ve had have started off because of a shared preference for a window spot in the bookstore café :)

it is very hard to meet a good woman anywhere nowadays, especially in a bar which would be one of the worse places anyway. women are much nastier to talk too these days, and they will curse at us when many of us guys will try to start a conversation with the one that we would really like to meet. since many women today are like this, they are obviously not worth meeting at all to begin with.

Small word of advice for those using dogs to meet women: you had best make sure that your dog is ~well-mannered~. There is nothing that says “I am a weak and out-of-control man who will not be a good leader” like than an ill-mannered and undisciplined dog.

I love book stores to meet women, especially if they have coffee shops but women are every where…most men need to focus on learning what to do before they ever think of where to do it. Once you get the what, you can meet women every where….

i am a straight man that was married at one time, and i was a very caring and loving husband until she cheated on me. now going out is the very hard part for me, since i seem to meet all the very nasty ones instead of just a good one for me. there are just too many low life loser women out there now than ever before, which seems to be the problem. where on earth are the good ones today?

I met my wife while handling a suspicious incident at a store (I was a police officer, she worked for the store). We eventually got married. Of course eight years later when I was deeply in love with her she divorced me. But oh wait, you were just asking where I met her, not how she left me :)

Sorry, I met my wife in a saloon. In the rural community where I lived, that was one of the few places single people congregated.
When I got out of college and went home to the farm to go into business with my dad, I entered a social environment where most of the people around me were coupled up, and where the single men in my age range outnumbered single women.
Getting involved in agricultural organizations, community projects and political causes got me acquainted with married men and women, but no single women. There were single women in the church I attended, but they were either under age, or relatives of mine, often both. I have always had a dog, but since he ran loose around the farm, there was no need for me to take him out for walks.
And since the internet didn’t exist thirty years ago, I started hanging out in saloons.

I met my fiancee at a chemical engineering club meeting. Nerds can find love, too.
