    I met my boyfriend on MFP. I wasn't even looking for one at the time.

    Try libraries/bookstores ("I love that book! You should buy it {or} How far in are you?), sports bars during a (big) game (and lots of guys love girls that can just chill and watch a game and have a beer), gyms (preferably before you do a lot of cardio to get all sweaty lol, ask for him to spot you), grocery stores ("sorry to bother you, but can you help me grab _____ off the top shelf?") etc.

    I met my current bf at school when we were studying and I needed 'help' reaching a book off the top shelf :laugh:

    Me too, my ex bf who turned out to be an *kitten*, dumped me twice for another woman he just recently met! There's no other way to meet them than in social networking sites like facebook, at least for me because I don't go out a lot anymore & I'm through with all those bar-hopping days. Also there's not much to meet here where I am right now.

    I find the best place to meet a guy is by not looking. Live life, have fun, then he will appear. The End.

    a seedy bar. I was at a club that I hated and a friend and myself decided to leave and she forced me to go out again to that bar. Then we met by the fire in the back and have been together ever since. I never thought I would meet a decent guy that way but, it happened. You have to get out there ! :)

    any bar, pick any one. you wont be able to throw a stone without hitting a p*n*s. Guys are everywhere and not many women to compete with.

    A dating website - as many have mentioned.

    If you want to go old school, then any place that is predominantly frequented by men is good (eg. yes, such as pubs/clubs, but go to a good upmarket one).

    Another tip is to have something to allow an easy opener for a conversation...
    * A pet dog = so what's his/her name?
    * Reading a book = So what are you reading? Anything good?
    * An outlandish hat. and/or purple dyed hair maybe (for the young girls though)

    I think generally anywhere. But the important thing is to just try to go out there and talk to someone. I know its a daunting task, but anytime a girl come to talk to me or interact it definitely gets my attention! :-p

    I met my husband at a karaoke bar- together over 12 years now. There are decent guys out at the bars, you just have to look past the 'players' to see them. :)

    Take some group dance classes; ballroom, country, swing, etc. You'll meet some amazing people in all age brackets and backgrounds. Sooo much better than the bar scene. It's a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone is there to have a great time, learn something fun and new and there's no pressure.

    Ironically I met a pretty cool guy last night at 2AM in a taco place in the middle of Chicago's gay neighborhood. For the record, the guy is straight.

    OkCupid.com My friend also met her husband on the site. It rules. It's not like typical dating websites. It's for a more progressive crowd.

    I've tried some dating websites and they sucked. Don't go to bars. Any other suggestions out there?

    I'm similar! I live on my own and don't have the time or money to go out regularly. I'm not a fan of dating websites either. (I know, I'm awkward)

    I like the dance group thing! I might see if there are any in my area! :) (RESULT!!!)

    My girlfriend and I met on the dancefloor.

    It took a month of chatting online afterwards before we realized that we should be a couple (no quicky hookups).

    Two and a half years later we share a home and are planning to get married (I want to be 170lbs. on my wedding day).

    Best of luck to you.

    Remember, as long as you meet your partner doing something you love, then you will always have something great to share together!

    Another GREAT benefit of the dancing is you burn tons of calories and lose weight without even realizing you're exercising because you're having sooo much FUN!!

    This had nothing to do with starting my last relationship, and EVERYTHING to do with ending it.

    I was semi-dating a good friend of his at the time. We met and hit it off. I broke up with his friend and then had the ultimate nerve to ask him if he'd pass my phone number on to my now husband. Looking back I still cant believe I did that, but at the time I didnt think we'd ever see each other again. Been married 27 years.

    Met my husband at Chuckee Cheese. I sparked up a conversation with him about his then 5 year old. I wasn't looking for a relationship though, was just getting out of a relationship. He was so easy to talk to. Ended up telling him ALL my business. He was such a gentlemen and a man of his word. I called him the week of my birthday (YES I was drinking) - (he'd promised he wouldn't blow my phone up and he didn't), I invited him to my birthday party. He showed up with a Svarwoski crystal rose and we've been joined at the hip ever since. (Married July 9th, 2011)
