on. And then there are meetup.com groups, which I think are great for 40 year olds who are newly single or
just looking to interact with other, but not so much for guys who are mid-20's, single, straight edge, and quite nerdy.
fwiw, women are always receptive, to the right guy. A non-comprehensive list of places where it's easy to talk to women (if a particular woman doesn't want to talk, just move on. It's not like you're married to her:)
The street (seriously, all hooker jokes aside)
The gym
In line for coffee
That little table where the milk and cream is at, at the coffee place
The Apple Store
Any outdoor cafe (actually, come to think of it, this is the place where most women have approached me)
The bus (come to think of it, this is where I've gotten the most passes from what must have been gay men)
Airplanes (only works if you are actually both going to the same final destination)
The front desk of a hotel
Fashion event (point at a guy and say "He looks sorta douchey, doesn't he?")
In line for a late night taco (although, seeing that you don't go out, it would be sort of artificial)
At a farmer's market (caress the baguette.)
A wedding
A bookstore
A library
Also, don't be straight edge. It's cool to not want to go to bars and clubs. It's cool to not drink, if that's not your thing. But it's not cool to adhere to some code based off a Minor Threat song.
