Possible dates are all around

The hardest part about finding a guy (or girl) is knowing where to look. Out of the guys I've dated, I haven't met any of them the same way.

There was Curly (names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent), who I met through a high school friend.

Then there was Senior, who I met working a table at a student activities fair in college.

Then there was Flyer, who I met at a club.

My current boyfriend and I technically first met at a fratnerity event but didn't really connect until we met again months later at a coffee house.

Some would say that certain locales produce a certain kind of person. No woman will ever find a good man if she picks him up in a bar, they say. Well, the guy I met in the club was one of the sweetest guys ever, and, in fact, didn't even like going out that much. A friend had dragged him there. He would say, "I don't want to take my girl out to a bar." And I would just respond: "We met in a bar!"

My advice is to not rule anywhere out. Just go to all the places you normally go, and sooner or later, you're bound to meet someone you like and shares the same interests as you. There are just as many good guys at Barnes & Noble as at Red Eye Tavern. And if you're more into reading than drinking, they're bound to be more your type anyway.

Do you have any advice for finding a date? Where is the best/worst place to met a significant other?

Geez, I'm such a nerd. I just realized that I've never been on a date with a guy that I didn't meet at school. Well, to be fair, I met a couple of them in the cafeteria, and a couple at church classes. But I still feel like a nerd. I guess the intellectual setting is where I really shine. Actually, intellectual guys are easy, because they aren't used to girls who are actually attracted to intelligence.

Meeting at school doesn't make you a nerd. School is a great place to meet guys because they're so readily available. Take advantage all you can while you still have the opportunity!
