Many guys complain that they don’t know where to meet girls. If you fit into this category, then this page is for you. Why? Because I’m about to show you the light my friends.

Here’s the truth: almost everyplace you visit on a regular basis is a great place to meet a girl!

The reason why many guys complain about not being able to meet a girl at there regular hangouts, isn’t that available girls aren’t there. The reason is that they are not really looking, not really trying, not making themselves available, and not staying aware. Those last two points are key. You need to make yourself available and aware when you’re at one of your regular hangouts. That means you need to stop talking on your cellphone when you’re at the grocery store, take frequent breaks from reading when you’re at your local coffee shop, and stop listening to your iPod or playing video games while you’re waiting in line.

With that said, here’s a list of excellent places where you’re sure to meet plenty of girls if you’re willing to make yourself available and aware.

Note: You’ll notice that I didn’t list bars or clubs. The reason is simple. Most girls at bars and clubs fall into two categories, either they are extremely defensive because they’re afraid of meeting a “player” or they are *ahem* skanks.

Coffee Shops
This is by far, my favorite place to meet girls because it is so easy. Most people go to coffee shops to be sociable - yes even the girl that is sitting by herself quietly reading her book. Think about it. If she wanted to be alone to read, she could read in the privacy of her home or go to library. Why then did she choose a noisy coffee shop? Because she want to be sociable. In fact, she’s probably like you hoping she will run into someone she can date. Coffee shops are the new bars of the 21st century!

The Book Store
Like the coffee shop this is an excellent place to meet girls. Here you’ll find many girls hanging out and reading books and magazines. Again, if they wanted to be alone they would read at home. Many girls at book stores want to be sociable. The best thing about meeting a girl here is that there are plenty of things to talk about - the new releases, the latest issue of a magazine, or the book she’s holding! Big book stores, like Borders or Barnes & Noble, have coffee shops within the stores - double bonus!

The Library
Similar to book stores, libraries - specifically college libraries - are a great place to meet girls. If you’re in college and looking for a date, make it a point to study in at your college library and not your dorm room. Not only do college libraries have all the benefits of a book store, they have more hot college chicks!

Grocery Stores
Nothing says lovin’ like something from the oven… Okay, that was lame but a grocery store is a good place to meet a girl. Single people have to eat like everyone else. The next time you’re shopping for groceries be on the lookout for a girl that looks single - single serving meals in her basket, isn’t buying condoms, and isn’t buying a case of beer (if she has a case of beer or condoms, it probably means she has boyfriend).

Clothing Stores
If they have a female section, your favorite clothing store is a great place to meet girls. Most girls like to shop; hey, stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. When you’re shopping for yourself, ask the cute store employee or a girl walking by which color shirt looks best on you. You can also walk into the female section and look for a present for your sister or a friend. When you do, ask a girl what are the latest styles.

The Park
Many girls love the outdoors, especially during Spring and Summer. You’ll find plenty of girls walking, running, and laying out and reading. The list is almost endless. Chances are if a girl is by herself in a park on a nice, sunny day she’s single. If she wasn’t, she would most likely have her boyfriend with her.

There you have it, a list of great places to meet girls. It probably seems obvious to you but it’s been my experience that most guys overlook the obvious because they don’t make themselves available and aware of there surroundings.
