Unsurprisingly, wondering where to meet single men<\/a> is a common topic for single women, not just something that\u2019s Googled after another unsuccessful date! That said, it\u2019s a thought that can accompany the feeling of being stuck in a dating rut. If that\u2019s the case, it\u2019s time to get out of your comfort zone and find someone new.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this isn\u2019t always straightforward. Yes, online dating has made our lives so much easier when it comes to finding other singles, but what about IRL? Where else can we meet amazing single men? Fortunately there are still many places you probably haven\u2019t even thought of. Let\u2019s take a closer look!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send him a drink<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tends to be something you only ever see in the movies, and usually it\u2019s a guy sending a girl a drink. So why not switch things up, be bold, and make the first move?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in a bar or restaurant, there will often be a table of attractive men somewhere to be found. You could spend the entire evening thinking or talking about how cute they are, or you could act and send someone a drink. Try it as an experiment and see what happens. What\u2019s the worst that could happen?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go speed dating<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of fun and quirky events for singles in most cities these days, catering to all kinds of age groups and interests. Speed dating is a genius way of meeting lots of different men in a short space of time, practising your flirting skills, and having an enjoyable evening.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a party<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re at a house party, there will almost always be a bunch of single girls and guys. But if you want to hang out with them, you\u2019ve got to get yourself out there instead of spending the night with the people you already know.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great place to hangout is in the kitchen (as it\u2019s probably near the food or drink!). You\u2019re guaranteed to have plenty of people stopping by, and you could even offer to get a cute guy a refill. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask a friend for ideas<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our friends tend to know us pretty well. They also have a good sense of what we\u2019re looking for when it comes to a partner. This makes them overqualified when it comes to setting us up with someone. So why don\u2019t we ask them to do this more often? Message your friends and ask if they know anyone who\u2019d be interested in going for a drink.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Networking events<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the perfect place to meet men who are ambitious, driven, and looking for something serious – if that\u2019s the kind of man you\u2019re looking for. It\u2019s also a great place for you to expand your own network, and potentially find some great business opportunities. There\u2019s totally space to mix business with pleasure!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try volunteering<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a wonderful thing to do for yourself. It\u2019s something we all should commit to doing regularly in our lives.It\u2019s so rewarding to know that you have helped someone less fortunate than yourself, and given them something they\u2019ll remember forever in their hearts. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you volunteer in a charity shop, a homeless shelter, or even in a different country; there are so many people that could benefit from your help. Most of the men you meet in these places will be kind, generous, and thoughtful. Importantly, they\u2019ll also support similar causes to you and share your outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bookstores<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both men and women love a partner who enjoys getting stuck into a good book. If you genuinely enjoy reading, head to a bookstore and keep one eye on the books, and one scanning the room for anyone interesting. Chill out, enjoy a cup of coffee while you lose yourself in a story, and see where it takes you. Again, having a similar taste in literature usually bodes well for compatibility!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a coffee shop<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of freelancers and business owners spend large chunks of time working in coffee shops. If you see someone you like who is on a table with a plug socket, ask if you can share a table and plug your tablet or laptop in. This gives you a great excuse to start talking to him. Maybe ask what he\u2019s working on to get the conversation flowing. That said, read the vibe and be careful not to be too intrusive.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a sporting event<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bars and stadiums are packed with men whenever a sports game is on. There will be so many hot single guys around, you won\u2019t know where to start. Pick a team and cheer them on. If you\u2019re supporting the same team as him, you\u2019ll have something in common to talk about. If not, you can tease each other about it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dog parks<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only do this if you do have a dog. If you don\u2019t have one, maybe a friend or family member has one you can borrow for an hour or two. The key thing (obviously) is to make sure you actually like furry friends. Dogs always gravitate towards other dogs, which inevitably brings the two owners together as if by magic. You never know, you could end up hearing the hounds of love calling!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there you have it, a few obvious places that come up when pondering where to meet single men, and a couple out of leftfield. Above all, open yourself up to the idea of meeting a great guy in any situation. You might be pleasantly surprised!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
