OK, then why did you start a thread here asking how to get dates, where to meet women? Why did you say art classes, dance classes and workshops were all great ideas? It sounds like you're eager to break into the dating game.

There are two implacably opposing camps, with unbridgeable divide. One asserts that women are "everywhere", and can be innocently accosted in grocery stores and other venues of workaday tasks. The other says that no reasonable woman would wish to be importuned by a stranger's advances, that people are busy and prefer to be left alone. Instead of stating that one camp is right, and one is wrong, I wish to simply point out that neither can be won over by the other's arguments. Those who think that such casual meetings are possible and can lead to substantive relationships, will give short shrift to the deniers and skeptics. Meanwhile, the skeptics have made a few desultory attempts, have failed each time, and have zero reason to suppose that their next foray will be any more successful.

I'm interested in meeting girls that are looking to date... Not interested in attempting to hit on the cute girl in the grocery store in attempts to get a number only to find she's in a relationship or whatever.

Nice post.. we live in a society where unwanted advances can quickly can become a sexual harassment case.. oh well what can you do.

Discuss the ripeness of bananas with the attractive lady beside you

I was in walmart yesterday doing some grocery shopping with family and got major action from two ladies.

Eye contact, smile, etc.

One even stopped to chit chat with me and my family.

I was minding my own business. Didn't even see them coming.

You are shooting yourself in the foot by completely ruling out meeting women in the grocery store.

In the words of my mentor....ALWAYS BE READY. ALWAYS BE PREPARED.

This is how it's done. One way it's done, anyway. I've seen it happen, and it's happened to me. You're missing out.
Apparently I need to work on my game at the grocery store..

Maybe I'll just start making it a point to pursue woman at Walmart and the grocery store just for the fun of it.
