Well, you meet men everyday in the course of your life.

Hey Sadsingle the next time you go out introduce yourself and start some small talk. You never know until you try. How else will I find out if your available, its all about the marketing.

I am very outgoing and will strike a conversation up with anyone within 3 feet of me. I guess i started this topic just out of curiosity. I wondered if anyone had met someone great somewhere very unexpected. I hang out at Barnes and Noble. I laugh because I'm usually drawn to the self help section...not exactly what any emotionally stable man wants to see a woman reading hahahaha

I agree totally with Allison. You can meet someone anywhere. I’ve had guys strike up conversations with me at the grocery store, Toys R Us and on the train. I also agree that if you are ok with yourself, that will show, and you will be more approachable. No one wants to approach someone who looks like a big crab! The suggestion Softballs had is a good one also, but I’m a little shy, so making the first move if a little intimidating. But once were introduced, I can talk to anyone.

And I also think the best way to meet a man is to not look. I’ve had 3 LTR’s since my divorce, and I met all three of those men just by chance; one belonged to a club my dad belonged to, one was a neighbor, and the third was a mortgage broker that did my first re-finance when I got divorced and called back 3 years later to do another one (then we started dating). I never sought out any of those relationships, they just sort of happened.

I’m “looking” right now through on-line dating, but no luck so far. I bet as soon as I get out of that, I’ll find someone. Isn’t that always the way.

Hi,

I totally agree with the other posters! You can meet a man (or for that matter anyone)anywhere when open to the possibility of meeting someone new for the sake of it! I met a tow truck driver when he came to tow my car b/c it was broken down (totally my fault--whole nother funny "me" story) and we just chatted on the ride back...he's very very cute and very funny. We've had several funny conversations and are going on a date--though seemingly a "not good on paper"...but we really enjoyed chatting. So you never know when you'll meet someone new...just be ready for it when it happens and make sure you put yourself in situations where can meet new people.

I agree with everyone here. The best thing is to be all you can be - expand interests, activities, friends, social network. Then you will run into him "as you are" so to speak. Put on a smile - and always look your best.
