Are bookstores good places to meet people?  Well, yes and no.\n\nIn our area, the major bookstore is Barnes and Noble.  So listening to my friends, I went there last night, hoping to meet a woman.\n\nSo, I go into the Romance section, and saw a cute woman reading a Harlequin romance novel.  Only problem was, when I said, "You look like you're into that," she called me a pervert, and asked me to leave or she was going to call security.\n\nI then proceeded to the Sports section, and saw another girl reading a book on football.  I said that not many woman are into football, and she then labelled me a secxist pig, and again, asked me to leave.\n\nFailing miserably, I went to the Starbucks section of the store, ordered a Green Tea Frappucino, and the girl asked me if I liked whipped cream with that.  I said yes, and she said she liked whipped cream, too.  I asked her out, and she said yes.\n\nSo, tonight, I have a date with the Starbucks Babe.\n\nWish me luck.

Depends on what kind of guy you want. try the library or bookstore, pool hall (go with a girl friend), starbucks. Find out what kind of guy you want before you go looking. You can even try church too. Church is the least know one, but they have singles events in addition to normal gatherings.

I have one for you.  I used to live in Columbus, Ohio, and I'd put an ad in a Single's Magazine.  There was one lady that replied that seemed relatively nice, so we agreed to meet at a restaurant one day.  When we met she was so nervous you could cut the tension with a knife.  I don't remember what we talked about or for how long we talked but after the date was over we never saw or heard from each other again.  She was relatively nice looking and had a pleasant personality, but no matter how hard I tried I could not get her to relax.  I  could honestly feel the tension so bad that I felt I was being pushed against a wall.  Definitely a very strange experience because I don't think I'd ever scared someone so bad in life as much as I think I scared this poor woman.  Oh well, I chaulked it up as one for experience.

the first one i went to was awesome, he was out meeting people afterward. he was incredibly friendly... the second one i went to was very entertaining.  I was on cloud nine for about a year after that... if the opportunity arises, go early stay late  have a  blast  but dont let it pass you by

depending on what city you live in, you dont have to meet females in the club/bar, etc. you can meet people in the mall, at the library starbucks, anywhere.  work on your people skills, you'll be o'k.

Go find out from a source.  Ask another book store manager in another town if you can shadow them for a day.

Try joining clubs that correlate with your interests. Avoid places where lowlives usually spend a lot of time, e.g. bars etc. Perhaps go to the library, and start a conversation with someone there who picks up a book you like.

well, find out if you and the new person have anything in common.  the guy I am currently wishing will develop into something more, met at a bingo game...we started out talking about how lousy the bingo numbers were...now, we talk about all sorts of stuff.  try looking at places to meet people that meet your interests.  if you like Karate...try several karate studios...if you like dogs...try dog parks...if you are religious...try church...or other place of worship.

you know if i tell you someone it wont help you much but i have an idea ......why dont you go into the park with a coffe and a magazine(nad maybe if you have bring a dog) many older women like to go there on a sunday morning....and maybe you come into a talk with one and there you can meet each other personly.....if you want to have a date just like that go to go onto one of these sites but i would think it would be better the idea with the park........\n\nPerfectMatch.com\nwww.PerfectMatch.com      Share your Life with Your Soul Mate.

Good question!!! I'd google columbus ga clubs and see if any gay ones come up. or just google gay clubs in columbus ga and i'm sure something will come up. My pal lives in Atlanta and she says that Outwrite bookstore is a gay and lesbian bookstore.

Haha!  It's good to be back - computer was down for a few days.  Well.. I'm not a guy, (obviously), but unless things go REALLY well on a date it's a turn-off when the guy is all over you.  You've got to conquer the gettin-to-know-you before you jump on that.  So if it's a REALLY good date then you did get to know each other and it's okay to fall into that animal instinct.  If you're like 99% of the guys out there then maybe it is a good idea to relieve your stress before the date.  You may not get the urge to, er, be selfish on the date, and that will tell the girl that you respect her.  Also - it might give that first impression that you're a laid back bad-a*s type that most of the ladies can't resist.  So yeah - I think it is a good idea!  HA!

This is a good place to meet people.  Just be careful to not get too carried away.  What kind of new friends are you looking for?

Definitely! It used to be considered the best place to meet other singles--until single people started insisting on inviting a date. Too bad, because they missed a great opportunity to meet others in a fun, safe environment.
