Having Trouble Meeting People? 4 Places You Might Not Have
By Kimberly Webb, Sat Dec 10th

Perhaps you have tried bars and clubs but there arequite a few places that you may not have tried yet. Have a lookat some of the favorites...

1.Dog park- There is no better ice breaker than a cute, playfulpuppy. So when the weather turns nice, get out there and takeyour dog for a walk. You will be amazed at all the other dogowners in your area, many of which will be single. For bonuspoints, teach your pooch a trick. My favorite is fetch. If yousee someone that interests you, "accidentally" toss the ball intheir general direction. It will send Fido running, andhopefully he will bring back more than just the ball. If you arewithout a furry companion, offer to dog sit for a friend orfamily member. It will produce the same effect and she willthink you are sweet for dog sitting.

2.Coffee shop- You go there everyday, so why would you not be onthe lookout for someone that interests you. Having a love for aparticular shop can be a powerful thing, so take noticeof your surroundings. Don't be afraid to offer to buy her alatte, it will start a conversation and get things rolling. Themost important thing is be present! Do NOT sit behind yourlaptop, oblivious to the world around you. Smile and talk toothers in the shop.

3.Local college- You may have already graduated but that doesn'tmean that you can't take a class at your local college. Mostwill offer non-traditional classes such as painting or pottery.So pick a class that interests you and sign up. It's a great wayto meet friends and potential partners. If you find someone thatcatches your eye, ask if you can study together or borrow theirnotes, it's a great ice breaker.

4.Gas station- I know several couples that have made aconnection while pumping gas. Everyone with a car has to getgas, so why not consider the gas station when looking for adate. During your morning commute when you go inside for yourcoffee and donut, take note of those around you. Chances are,it's the same group of people that where there yesterday. Solook up, make eye contact, and smile. You never know who youmight meet. The plus side of meeting someone at a gas station isthat you can tell a lot about a person by the kind of car theydrive.
