My latest assignment...
Name 3 places where you can find a possible mate...
Sounds easy.. right? WRONG...
Now.. keep in mind.. the bar scene is OUT.. no chance.. not my kind of thing.. church.. well.. lets just say I have to get over the fear of lightening striking me dead...
so.. everyone.. list 3 places where meeting a potential date/mate is a possibility...
Thanks ;)

Amateur Dramatics Society
Evening Classes
The Gym
By the way, not everyone involved in amateur drama is necessarily into putting themselves in the limelight - if you have any skills with a paint brush or a roll of wall paper, a make-up brush, good with money and figures or are just good at organising things then there's tons you'd be good at/ useful for in that environment.

Laundry Mat (even if you have a washer/dryer...single guys abound at the laundry mat...and as a bonus, they know how to wash clothes or at least they are trying!)
Local park (cycling, walking, walking the dog kinda stuff)
Library (takes a bit more ingenuity because of the "shhh" factor, but with good observational skills...voila!)

"How to" clinics at the local home improvement stores always seem to have a few interesting people involved.
Discussion groups at a local bookstore.
Hobby meets for anything you're involved in. You'd already have some common ground to begin a conversation.

Wow, great ideas!
~grocery store (a guy did ask my sister out at one the other day)
~line-up (I bet a line-up for a book signing of an author you like would be ripe for the pickings!)
~friends' parties

Coffee shops, book stores, garden stores (I walk in, look just as baffled as I am, and helpful people spring up), various clubs and classes, the gym, the park, concerts, museums....hang on, I'm over my 3 aren't I.
Shoot, I can't choose. Pick your favorites.

I owned a bookshop. Was chatted up a lot and people who prowl bookshops never buy anything!

Long distance flights are good.
But you can get to know people anywhere and when you least expect it. Was stuck in a lift and got to know someone.
I think if you go 'looking' you will not find anyone. It just happens.

ROFLMFAO! When I read "line-up"...I thought you meant a police line-up (ya know, when they stand them in that lighted room with the height measurements on the wall behind them and the victim picks the culprit from behind a two way mirror). I was gonna yell NOOOOOOOOOO! Don't listen to her jenna! But...
Um...nevermind!

all of your suggestions are fantastic... tho.. since I live in a rural area.. it makes it more difficult.. dating should be soooooooo much easier and less traumatic..

LMAO. How about home repairmen? I've had 2 hit on me this week. :D
Maybe you need to call some out for "free estimates" ~ LOL. And at least you know they're handy...and employed. :D :p :D
