Haha my parents met at a bar! My mom asked my dad if she could play pacman with him!
And 22 years later they are still in love

awe a bar... how romantic! haha.. but actaully i know alot of people who have met at a bar!.. you just cant hook up that night.. well i wouldn't i like to keep a little mistery!.. and then when you go on a date.... you know you like the guy for him!.. not cuz of how wonderful the bang waS

I heard someone say that an Ace/Lowe's/Home Depot type store is a good place. Easy to spot the rings of the married ones, too. You could bond over flooring selections and crown molding!

Also, taking a class.
There are sooo many single guys in my class - all nice, educated, sexy, and single.

I think work is a good place, just as long as if you break up it's not a bad thing. I dated a guy at my office for 2 years and then we broke up. Work wasn't fun for awhile, but he soon got fired and I still work here 3 1/2 years later. Ha!

I have a crush on a guy at work right now--it makes work a lot more fun and I put more effort into getting ready in the morning. !

I always check guys out at the grocery, too...

volunteer work

whether you volunteer with an organization on a regular schedule or for special events you generally find like-minded folks and aren't drunk when you meet

you also have something in common

i need to pay more attention when i go to the grocery store!

Haha, it might be a bit awkward, but meeting someone on a train/bus is kind of a good way to go. You can gauge what they do by how they're dressed and it's easy to spot a ring...

Omg since my bf is moving away pretty soon I've been saying I need to find a replacement bf.... since I met my guy online I promised myself I won't do that, but I have to "meet guys the old fashion way... in a bar or at church...." And last night I worked out at the gym with my friend and that location seemed like prime territory too.

Online

It seems to be more and more of a trend, online dating and such, at least, you know straight away they're initially at least attracted to your profile to ask you out on an off-line date.

i am going to say that work is a bad idea. unless it's only a temp job. i've had some bad experiences where it becomes super awkward. i always vow never to do it again, but it's hard not to get close to people when you see them every day.

I definitely agree with online. Online is a less embarrassing way to meet people. No stuttering or blushing through text

A bar is not a great place but many people DO meet there. People always say the grocery store but hello has anyone EVER met there? I've never ever even seen anybody remotely cute at the grocery store! Work is also a horrble place thats just asking for trouble unless you work in completely different departments and floors. I think school, the mall, and the library are semi good possible places.

i never met anyone in those places! LOL!! I always looked too! Perhaps I looked too hard. Then I looked online! SUCCESS! We married! go figure. whatever works

My man and I met at a bar. He approached me and we hung out together until last call. I gave him my number and he called me before my friends and I even got home. It was a few weeks before we went on a date, but we talked every day until then. We've been together for over a year and plan to spend the rest of our lives together.

if you want to meet men; join a dating service. they do the work for you. they locate the guy (he's hetro!), do a back ground check (make sure he's single), compare interests. they are experts at setting people up. don't reinvent the wheel. i'm married now, but in retrospect a dating service would have made sense. my dh and i met through our married friends. she sort of did a mini dating service for me w/ interests, background, etc. and of course knew their dating histories.

There are some H.O.T firemen who shop at the ALbertson's i shop at. but all they do is stare at me. . . .

should i throw frozen burritos to get them to approach me???

you can run into a burning building, but you can't do more than smile and grin at me???

Which Albertson's is this?!? I never see any sexy firemen unless they're zooming down the street with sirens blazing.

My parents met in a bar... and I met my husband in a bar! It's a family tradition. And we're not even big drinkers, go figure.

my parents met at penn station (in nyc) and my mom said, and i quote, "that is the man im going to marry" when she saw my dad...25 years later...they are still together

so definitely transportation works
