This whole thread makes me giggle....
Dude, are you too shy to approach or introduce yourself to a woman outside of a bar? This is a fairly densely populated area and anyone who has trouble finding people to casually date I have to think has some sort of underlying social issue. Either you're too shy, too particular, too demanding, or I don't know but there's something off. I've been approached in the grocery store, Target, at the little stop and go I stop at in the morning to get coffee, starbucks on the weekend, of course in the bars, at work, any number of places. Granted women typical do have it easier than men BUT if I see a guy that I'm interested in talking to I approach them. I'm not trying to down you but there's some sort of underlying issue at work here because there are PLENTY of single people in this area.
