I need a lover who wont drive me crazy.

[CoffeeGuy]

Well, just in time for the holiday's, me and my (former) girl friend have split up. Single life aint so bad. Give's me more time to do the things I like to do. But the summer is gone and all the things I like to do is outdoors. And I like being warm. I am going to miss the indoor activities we use to share. Call me selfesh, I dont care. So now I'm on the prowl again. But, where do I go to meet single women ? Guy's, help me out here. Ladies, I need your help to. I'd kinda like to avoid internet dating, cause it's like a box of chocalot's. You never know what you're gonna get.

You meet women every where.

and why do they have to be single?

you just meet women, then you find out if they are single later.

But if you want a list....

Supermarket
Church
Shopping
Resturants
Basketball games (since it's winter)
Jewelry Stores
Bars & Clubs - I don't recommend this one, good place for a one hit wonder but not the place to find a good woman

[bazooka]

You could also meet women by walking a dog.

[CoffeeGuy]

Tractor pull ? I wonder if sheep go to tractor pull's ? Hmmmm...... Interesting

Church ? I could try a pick up line like, hey babe, You worship here often ?

Shopping ? Yea, that's a good one. They got one thing on their mind when shopping. Shopping. Interrupting them is like jabbing a grizzly bear in the eye with a short stick.

But, I asked for opinions and that's what I got.

Sooo true!

I was wondering when that would come up.

I figured either that or an inflate a date.

[northcat_8]

"worship here often"

Don't use pickup lines..duh.
It's not in the place, its how you talk to them.

There are only 3 types of people at church.

1. the religious fanatic - stay away
2. the "just in case" people
3. the ones who do things that make them feel obligated to go. IE - free to sin until next sunday.

Shopping is the 100% easiest place to find a female are you serious?? They are distracted. It's like your girlfriend asking you for money to go shopping while you are watching 2 girls working the pole at a strip club.

First you hang around in the women's clothing department, looking for what the **** ever, it doesn't matter, but make sure you are looking at clothes in the appropriate size and style.

Just hang out there and wait. When a "candidate" is cruising around looking at clothes, just pick something out that looks alright, not great, but not horrible either, make sure it doesn't match real well...you know what I mean...middle of the road. Go over to your candidate and ask "excuse me "Miss" (make sure you address her as "miss" it's polite) I'm trying to find some clothes for my sister that she will like, and I've been looking around for a while and I'm lost, could you help me for a second?" <she will, because you are catering to her ego, I've never had a female tell me "no"> She will ask "well what are you looking for?" "To be honest I really don't know, she dresses really nice and always looks good, that's kind of why I asked you for help." <2 bonus points, flattery but not blatant, it goes a long way with women>. See how she handles the comment, if she's a little put off by that last statement you have to act embarassed and apologize with something like "I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I'm just saying that you are obviously a nice dresser and so is my sister" , if she takes it and smiles you're halfway home

Next she will ask you for her size, and you say "Oh...that's a good question...errr...well to be honest I'm not sure. She's about the size of <point to another girl in the store> that girl over there, maybe a little bit bigger. <if you are an information hound, point to a girl about the same size as your target girl and she will say, oh, she's about my size...I'm a size 6>

Anyway, you keep that going, don't ask her to try the clothes on for you. If she asks if you would like her to try the clothes on so you can see what they look like, clear your evening schedule...you can hit that one that night.

Make sure you compliment her on her taste in clothing, etc, etc, be subtle, not obvious.

When she's got an outfit all assembled for you, make sure you say "Wow, Thanks "Lori" or whatever her name is, I really appreciate it, I would have been here hours trying to figure all this out. Can I take you out to eat sometime for saving me?" You may get shot down here, but that happens...that's why God put 3 billion of them on the planet

If she's married or makes a statement that she is in a relationship, make sure you apologize, act embarassed. Say something like "Oh I am really sorry, I didn't mean to seem forward. See where the conversation goes from there, if she thinks you're sweet, she may have a single friend


A few important notes:

#1 maintain your focus on the clothing, like that is really what you are doing.
#2 play to her personality and ego
#3 make sure to compliment her

Jeesh, coffeeguy, be honest...you've never been deerhunting have you? Same concept, different "woods".

Now if it is a girl working in the store you are after, you use the same concept except you are shopping for yourself.

I'll go in to Penny's or Lazarus, where ever, I'll pick out 5 pair of dockers, then I will go to the girl working in the department and say "excuse me sweetheart, can you help me? I need some shirts and a tie or 2, a belt or 2 that all match, can you help me? I give her the 5 pair of dockers, she criuses around, picks out all kinds of stuff, comes back a little while later with like 9 shirts, 5 ties, etc. and asks me to pick out the ones I like. I always say, "I don't know, if you had to pick 5 that you think look the best together which would you pick?" She picks them out, and I do buy them <this is my school shopping every year > then I will say "thanks honey, I really appreciate it, I have a terrible time matching clothes." and I've had women ask me out at the cash register. They say something like "so, what are you doing later? you want to get something to eat?" or something like that. Now I have to inform them I'm married because I don't wear a wedding ring, and apoligize for not being able to take them up on their offer. <kicks dirt....stupid wife...not allowing Northcat to have girlfriends >

Hell, I got asked out once when buying my wife a sports bra. I had no idea what size, so I asked some woman in the store. I was a little shy when asking her, but I did ask her, she smiled and laughed at me, I told her it was for my WIFE. She picked one out and said "what are you doing later?"

I also got bombarded in wal-mart just the other day, when my wife calls me on the cell and asks me to pick her up some tampons but failed to tell me what brand and the other details so here I am in the female isle looking at all this stuff, having absolutely no idea what I'm looking for, and some lady comes up and says "do you need some help?" I said "I'm in need of a lot of help " hell she goes into a disertation, other women show up and are helping me too. At one point I looked around and there were 7 women standing there in the isle with me. None of them asked me out that day but I think the first lady wanted me

and you have all seen me...I'm not exactly GQ model material.

Now you may think this is all bullshit and won't work but look, it address all 4 of her psychological needs.

Power - she is helping you, you need her
Freedom - she can select whatever she likes
Belonging - she belongs to well dressed female population, she belongs to females with good taste in clothing, etc. etc.
Fun - she's shopping, she's having fun.

You don't have to believe me, it will work. Oh and the "what if I don't have a sister thing" yea, well, then make something else up, a niece, a cousin, an aunt, a friend's fiance (friend's fiance is good because that shows you are friends with people who are relationship guys )

Ever thought about writing a book, northy ?

[tekkieman]

Damn near everytime he posts it's a book! :P

[jimmalenko]

Damn near everytime he posts it's a book! :P

True.


BTW, HOW DARE YOU report me for threadjacking an OT thread ?

[tekkieman]

True.


BTW, HOW DARE YOU report me for threadjacking an OT thread ?

Well, you ruined a perfectly good OT thread with some useful information related to video conversion!
HOW DARE YOU!

There are perfectly good On Topic forums for that!

[northcat_8]

Alright you two...if you can't get along we are going to make you sit on the couch and hold hands.

[jimmalenko]

Touche

I dont really have the gift of gab, but what the hell ? What's the worse that could happen ? How long do the effects of mace last, anyway ? Over time I'll probably get use to it.

[Rookie64]

This has never been a problem for me :P 8)


Depending on your age or age of interest....college campuses are a good place to hang out - I used to get hit on daily in my college days


Not many take this advice, but I've known it to work for a few people - http://www.livejournal.com/

Let people know who you are...what you're about...what you're interested in...take a look at the other journals...find similar interests...make friends (plural - if you focus and put all your energy into one person, you're setting yourself up for a hard fall if things don't work out...surround yourself with friends)...be friendly...join some online groups that interest you...take part in chats...get a webcam if you're wary of people pretending to be someone that they aren't.

Find local places to meet up...and meet as a group...attend with another friend or friends if possible.
If things work out and you like the person you're interested in or vise-versa...then the 2 of you can meet up alone when you feel comfortable enough with each other....and take it from there.

If either of you need more time...keep meeting up within a group of friends until the time is right.

[jimmalenko]

I used to work in a supermarket and really did find that it is one of the best places to meet people. After all, everyone has to shop, don't they ?

[northcat_8]

Well there's always the direct Chloroform approach.
