College provides centralized locations that are perfect for making connections.
A bustling college campus is just the spot to meet the woman of your dreams. With all the activities available to a college student, the single man has endless opportunities to connect with a woman. Common interests are key, so for a guy looking for someone to share his love for fair trade coffee, the local coffee haunt is a good place to start. A chance opportunity at a party or sporting event is nothing to be scoffed at either, as a quick conversation can lead to future dates.
Class
The simplest place to start is class. If you are sharing a class with a woman, odds are you already have something in common. This is especially true of smaller degree-focused classes. Asking to borrow a pen or clarify a note is all it takes to introduce yourself to a classmate. A subtler way to get a woman's attention is to speak up during class discussions. An active and engaged mind is an attractive trait. (See Reference 2)
Library
The library is a center for research and study, so be respectful when approaching a woman hard at work. Approach a woman reading alone in a chair with a comment on her book. Be careful, if she doesn't seem interested, politely excuse yourself and walk away. Bringing the woman another book, perhaps from the same genre, that you can recommend may be a charming gesture that does not get overlooked. (See Reference 2)
Work
Students with part-time employment have yet another social outlet that could lead to romance. Beware of any company policies that look down the pairing of two employees before making a move at work. Avoid causing a scene by asking a co-worker to continue a casual conversation over dinner. Having a laugh about the idiosyncrasies of your boss will endear her to you. (See Reference 2)
Coffee Shop
The laid-back environment of a local coffee house invites social interaction. Crowded coffee shops give a guy the chance to ask a woman if she would mind sharing a table. A quick comment on the book she is reading, or how you like her hat, is all it takes to get the conversation going. Visit a new coffee shop on campus. An article titled "Yes, She's Out There: And She Wants to Meet You Trouble is You Just Don't Know Where to Look" for Men's Health Magazine by Kyle Western points out that the pool of single women is smaller than the pool of single men, so there are less single women per square mile. The odds of you meeting someone new increases when you step outside the comfort zone of your own neighborhood. (See Reference 1, page 3)
Parties
Parties are the traditional meeting place for college couples. A woman comes to a party to mingle, so her focus isn't on a book or her class notes. Take advantage of the festive mood by talking to a woman that catches your eye. A party is a planned event which gives a man the opportunity to prepare. However, parties are a hotspot for those seeking one night of fun, not meaningful relationships. If you really like a woman, make plans to meet up at a later date. (See Reference 1 & 2)
Other Places
Joining a club, or participating in volunteer work, are both chances to meet a like-minded woman. Bars are popular meeting spots, but beware of mixing a first impression with one too many drinks. Take risks and try something new, such as an opening at a local art gallery or a screening at the film school. (See Reference 1) Take your own interests into account when searching for a place to meet women. If you are a sports fanatic, join a new group of people at the game. You never know who they might bring along.
