You could always knock a number 10 can of beans off the top shelf into the next isle until you hear a blood curdling scream, you might not get to talk to her much until after the ride to the hospital but its generally pretty quiet in ICU.

That raises an interesting issue though. Since the women will think you are less likely to be married, I believe in alot of cases they will feel more
intimidated and less likely to say something. Women are already intimidated by me in the first place as I'm 6 foot 4.
One thing I've learnt is the male should make the first move, esp when there are intimidation issues, not required in all cases just a general rule.

Well, I have to say that I really don't believe in stooping to those kinds of tactics. It's very Leisure Suit Larry and women can sniff it out very quickly.

Well, Dave, I'll give you the same advice I gave Andrew. Find a non-threatening environment where you can actually mix and mingle with women for purposes unrelated to dating. As I said earlier, night classes as a way to broaden your horizons are great. I dated two different women I met in a cooking class.

Trust me I don't need any advice "how to meet or get to know women".
My issues are deeper than that unfortunately.
