I want to say that you should consider the type of woman that you hope to meet, and then where is the most likely place that *type* of woman would hang out. For example, if you're just looking for a good time, then a bar would suffice. But if you want to meet someone who shares the same religious beliefs as you, you could join a church of that faith. If you want an educated woman, then try taking a college course in the evenings where you'd have the opportunity to interact in a social way (like a communications class or theater). I know these are weird suggestions, but I'm just trying to give a lot of examples. Usually the best place to meet someone is in a place where you already have something in common with. Most relationships start at work.. a lot of affairs happen that way too, because people spend 40+ hours together which, when you factor in commute time and the time you spend sleeping, it's more than you would actually spend at home with your spouse. So rather than worrying about pick up lines, you might want to figure out the type of women you want to meet and then take an interest in what she's interested in too, since there aren't any women at work. I have the same problem though man. I don't really hang out in the bar scene anymore so it's hard to meet new people. Oh, have you tried online dating services yet? It's a great way to get to know someone's personality first. Often times relationships also stem from friendships. Good luck!
