The best thing for you to do is to concentrate on going places where you would hang out because it's what you like to do.. there you will find girls you have something in common with.\n\n--- Examples:\n\nSports: If you like sports get yourself to a game and chat with someone in the bleachers.\n\nMovies: If you see a girl sitting alone at a movie, find a way to chat with her.\n\nIf you like to drink coffee.. hit up a Starbucks and chat with a girl in line.\n\nEvery day there is an opportunity. Do not, and I repeat, Do not go to a club or bar to meet a girl if you do not like to go clubbing or barhopping. You need to meet a girl in an environment you like to be in or it ads to the awkwardness.\n\nA HUGE part of meeting women is having confidance. \n\nIf you feel comfortable talking to a co-worker or student, and that is what your psyche needs to be in- pretend the person you are talking to is a co worker or student. There is no need to psych yourself out and focus on the fact that the person you're talking to is a stranger that you don't know. That's half the fun of meeting people.. getting to know them!\n\nRemember this: The number one common factor in all successful relationships is that someone had the courage and confidance to say hi and start up a conversation.\n\nDo not be afraid of rejection. If a girl says no, forget about it and go find another one. Life is too short for you to worry about being shy. You need to go out there to places you like to hang out and have a good time. Chances are you'll meet someone in your everyday life... Maybe while you're at the laundromat, or the supermarket.\n\nLive your life to the fullest, be confidant always and have a good time. You only get to have each day once. In life there are no do-overs. So go out there with a big smile on your face and a huge amount of confidance, because you are a wonderful, unique individual and there is someone out there right now who is thinking about meeting you just like you are thinking about meeting her.\n\n\nGood luck finding Ms. Right! Look out for you--

Smile and make eye contact, in a social situation most people (who are nice anyway) will automatically say hi back! keep smiling and keep conversation light, comment on the food- have you tried....., or the drinks-be polite, never negative and ask questions about them, people love to talk about themselves!!! Talking about how they know the host of the party is good sometimes, "who are you here with?" do you know such and such"? never take yorself too seriously, introduce yourself, ask how they are and remember to breath!! or you will talk so fast they will not understand you! Maybe just smile alot until you have had a glass of wine and loosened up a bit!(never drink too much, esp if you dont know anyone). Remember, they are probably feeling like you are, and people always radiate towards friendly looking people! You will be fine!

Hey!  We really like a site called SLS.  It will allow you to do a search & show you many ppl are in your immediate area, as well as different listings of clubs & events like Meet & Greets in your area.  You can join for free, and it really serves as a great way to find others you may be interested in.  Good luck, and happy swinging :)

I'm trying to figure that out myself...I've tried doing the online thing..but that hasn't worked out to well. Mostly I found just meeting people through friends has worked the best. Going to party with friends and in groups I find a little easier to deal with than one on one, more people to bounce off conversation with.\n\nVolunteer work is a good place to and if you're religious Church.

Depending on our situation meeting people to become friends with can be very easy or extremely difficult. Clubs, local organizations activities, schools, church, libraries, book stores, gyms, jogging, parks, beach, lakes, malls, etc. can all be places to meet new people. Once you’ve met them talking and keeping the person interested is probably the most important thing.\n\nTo keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask simple friendly questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice.\n\nFor other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, pets, etc. A few jokes from time to time can also be a great ice breaker.\n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguments they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguments. "The only way to get the berst of an argument is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerely.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n\nI

Try putting together a detailed (try to be brief) flier or brochure, can even be one page. Put them up around town, also drop by some of your local clubs you might think would benefit from your space and give them the info. Networking in your local area can be a great resource. A small newspaper ad, flyer at your church/temple might get th word out as well. Last but not least, have an open house some day, just a 2 hour event, invite local businesses, civic clubs, church groups to attend, serve a punch or coffee and tea and let them know about your available space.
