Where do you hunt down your prey?

Give everywhere a chance! You never know where you'll meet the next guy. Just be open to meeting someone anywhere.

But perhaps have a little get together and let people bring a couple for their friends?

I actually met the last guy I dated at the gas station...I was putting air in my tires and it was raining, he came over to help me.

Alexia is right - you never know where or when you are going to meet someone. I've heard laundromats and bookstores are great places - but they have yet to work for me.

I agree with others that you never know where and when you're going to meet someone. And I think that's the key - I don't really go anywhere with the aim to meet guys - I just figure if I do meet one that's an extra bonus! I think if you go out there looking for it you're not necessarily going to find it. That's just my experience though - I find if I force things they move the other way. In my experience you just need to live your life and be open to experiences and people and you will meet someone eventually. I totally agree that it's hard to meet new people period though. Even if you meet people, the chance of any kind of long term relationship coming out of it is slim.

Networking's the best way; meeting people through friends. At least you know that you'll have SOMETHING in common! :)

I tend to meet people in shops/queues everywhere. Clubs? Not so much...

I'm with you on this, only since I don't regularly attend church, I'm stuck with the bars. AAAAGH!

Obviously, the best thing would be to live in a big city with lots of activities and fun places to go, like art museums or waterfronts or parks-- stuff like that. But, if you're stuck in a small town where half the population is college-aged (read: younger than me), it gets really difficult. I'm struggling with this, too, so I'm hopefully going to try networking with classmates and even dinking around on Seattle's The Stranger personals. I've got to do something to stay sane(ish).
