The rules are a little different. Silence is expected (required) in a library. Someone that is reading in a public place may welcome a hello or a little study break. Notice how everyone looks at the door whenever someone new walks in.
This conversation is making me miss single life. I'd better get out of this one.

Bars and pubs are really the wrong places to meet women. Unless you want to meet troubled drunks and their boyfriends that is. You're better off away from those places unless you actually want to drink.

Time Out is a weekly listings guide for major cities around the world that gives a list of the bars, clubs and cinemas worth frequenting.

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.

Time Out? What's that?


Time Out <---- that there be the link

It lists all kinds of stuff! Definately the most comprehensive gig and club guide I've ever found, although they also cover all sorts of interesting daytime events. Once you've found a girl, it also has restaurant reviews.

Well, I noticed some level of social interaction going on at my college's library, more in some parts than in others; maybe these were study groups or people working on projects, but the silence rule varies from library to library.

OK heres something I've heard and I see.
Take some classes at a community center or the YMCA.

Take classes in Spirituality or Self Improvement.

I've taken classes in Yoga (girls :) )Meditation(girls :) ) sewing machines for begininers( engaged girls :( ) fencing/swordfighting (1 girl only person in class, besides the middle school kid , whos butt I kicked :P )

Thing was is I never really took the classes to meet women. I was busy trying to figure out what thye teacher was doing right and I was messing up.

Its a nice way to build up to meeting someone too. Theres two girls in my acting class but I think I'm already in friend catagory with them. Its ok , It's still networking.

Dancing is good exercise and I imagine there may be more women than men there.

Take a scrapbooking class have some of the little old ladies set you up with thier grandkids!
Little old ladies LOVE to pimp!

Definitely take a poetry class. I took a poetry class and it was filled with girls.
