Online mostly, but women are everywhere! Usually when I go out I notice at least one girl look at me a bit more than the rest. The only issue is mustering up the courage to say hi to them XD.

I will go to bars with an atmosphere that I enjoy. I love pool and darts, so I will usually be more comfortable at a place with both, plus they offer a distraction if I start to get bored. Single women can sometimes be scarce at places like that, but the ones that do come around are more likely to be my type.

I go outside.
On a serious note, that's more or less what I do, I'll meet someone in like...the grocery store, or convenience store, gym, just random places I go anyway, then I start talking to them and eventually with some people start doing stuff together or talking on the phone or something.

Online for me  (an irc channel, not wrongplanet's chat somewhere else)
The way I see it is that if you hate nightclubs, you are unlikely to find someone who shares your dislike of nightclubs at a nightclub. Meeting someone pretty much anywhere is possible, but in most real life situations it'll be meeting someone initially as a friend/coworker etc, as opposed to something like clubbing where the primary objective is to 'hook up' |

That's here people in my area go. Other main places people meet at in my area are casinos & church. I'm a straight-edge Secular Humanist so I try online which I'm not having much luck with ATM. I did try meeting people at work when I had jobs but I would recommend be very careful if you decide to try coming on to someone from work because the women I tried asking out went out of their way to make my job difficult for me when they could till they left

Most people don't actually meet through night clubs..
They meet through business functions and through outings with groups of friends.

Because I look for those on the spectrum, I mainly look online, because that's where they all seem to be.

The first guy I ever dated I met in high school. After that, for several years every guy I ever dated, I met because they were friends of friends or they fixed me up with them, or I met them at work.
When I was 19 I got a job at a convenience store right across the street from where they were building a major mall and hotel. There were construction workers galore. Guys were there for months from out of town working too. They would come in the station when they got off work to get gas, beer and cigarettes and they would flirt. Every day from about 3:30 till 5 or 6, they were in and out in a steady stream. Most always had some cheesy line. I went out with a few of them. The station was located at the edge of the K-Mart parking lot and around the side of the K-Mart parking lot was where a good sized group of folks my age hung out and drank after K-Mart closed. They would come in and buy beer and wine coolers and cigarettes and shoot the sh*t with me and the other girl who worked there. Eventually, I got invited to hang out with them when I got off at 11 and I did. So, I started hanging out with that group of folks and became one of the members of the group. I went out with a few of the guys. Dated one for several months. Eventually, the guy who was to become my husband started working at the construction site and he came in to buy beer after his first day of work and thats when we met. We started dating and here we are.
So, you can meet people anywhere. Friends of friends, people at work, you hang out with them and then meet their friends, and so on and so on.

In the last ten years, the internet.
Before that, mainly work or college.
I did meet someone once in a small goth nightclub under a shopping centre in Leeds. It was more like a very dark living room than a club though.
Best way seems to be online nowadays. |

Nowhere. There isn't anywhere for me to go to meet people.
I'm not religious, and even if I were, young people don't go to church, so thats out. I don't look on campus, because I can't drive, so I'd have no way to go and meet the person. I don't work, so I can't look for co-workers, and even when I did, they were all so much younger than me I couldn't go out with them even if I wanted to.
So mainly, yeah, nowhere. I just use the internet and hope for the best. |
