If it is only sex you want, try the Craigslist "casual encounters" section.
I can't believe I just suggested that.
Forget this information immediately.

I'd like a full relationship, but just sex in the mean time would at least get my mind off that.

Sorry Strapples. I know you are only 16. :oops:
Casual sex is only for getting a whomping case of Gonnorhea or Chlamydia, or, worse, HIV or syphilis.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

HIV, AIDS, same virus.
Oh no- thread hijacking in progress.
Ummm, I liked the idea about meeting a girl from a group of people that shares a common interest, for instance, politics.

Coffee shops are less sleazy. Plus it is easier to sit with a book or laptop if you need a break from socializing or an excuse not to. (I like props

)

I second that,now if only I had a way to carry a book with me by bike down to Starbucks on my next weekend visit.

A word of warning though DO NOT try to hit on the female employees at Starbucks,it doesn't work & in fact almost got me thrown out once a couple weeks ago.Saying hello while making/waiting for your order is fine but flirting with them or asking for phone numbers etc. is a recipie for disaster that works better on the customers.

You live in St Louis- aren't there some Route 66 cool places around there? Historic neon signs and stuff from before the Starbucks era?

Yeah, I don't drink coffee either, so I never actively sought out such places. No, there really isn't much Route 66 stuff around here except a few little signs on some of the roads that say "Historic Route 66" (the roads are known better by other names nowadays). Honestly, I don't find la femme bohème any more attractive than the bar fly. These types are generally interested in things like theater, ballet, the symphony, musicals, and art exhibitions (none of which particularly appeal to me although I tried to come off as l'artiste briefly in college because I had seen clips of movies where the artist attracts beautiful women and then has earth-shattering sex with them, which struck me as appealing).

Walk into a nearby Starbucks,order a grande extra mocha,mocha frappuchino & start drinking.It may taste like crap at first but it grows on you & you'll begin to like it...trust me.

There was a time when I wouldn't drink the stuff just 6 months ago but now I order a venti extra mocha,mocha frappuchino every time I go in there.With enough sugar(I use 3 packs) even their mocha latte's are good.Once you've done that,find yourself a nice girl to sit next to & engage in a friendly conversation with her.

It was disappointing. Based on my limited knowledge of social goings-on, I thought I was going to a place that is considered trendy and where young people go. Instead I witnessed the disgusting sight of 30-year-old women trying to make themselves look 20: way too much make-up and clothes that definitely aren't flattering for their figure. I circled around one of the two bars I "patronized" trying to see if there were any women I would be half-willing to talk to (I wasn't really expecting to find anything more than short-term anyway). I eventually made a half-hearted attempt at conversation with some or other girl, but I didn't care for it, so I left soon thereafter.

(I mainly went because TV and movies perpetuate the notion that nightclubs and bars are the places young people go to meet persons of the opposite sex for liaisons. I figured, being sexually in need, and bored with nothing much to do anyway, there was no harm in giving it a shot.)

I really need to formulate more ideas of places to go to meet attractive, available, interesting young women.

Sadly the bar isn't a very good place, especially if you are actually looking for a real relationship. I am in the same boat, I don't know where to meet other young people, especially single women.

here's my advice.

make friends with women at a random social setting.

bars? You're joking me.

then again, even wehn I'm legal this september, I don't plan on going or drinking or either.

it also depends on the bar. The places you're looking for are likely there, but you have to ask around to find the 'hip' clubs. Clubs are bars with dancing. Bars are where people drink. Look in the yellow pages (online or not), or maybe some web sites might have what you're looking for.

I think they have Time Out in the US don't they? I used the London one when i first moved up, they recommend gigs/clubs etc and usually get it right.

I'm a woman aged between 20 and 25. I decide where I will be spending my nights out based on how good I think the music will be.

Is it common in the US for girls to sit alone in coffee shops? Here, I never see girls anywhere not already in a group. Then again, single girls here are practically non-existent anyway.

When they are alone, they usually bring copious study materials or something else to indicate that their attention is focused on something, and it better not be broken (I didn't realize this when I started talking to people in the library in college).

So Starbucks have more young women than the little coffee shops inside Borders and similar bookstores?
