I agree, a good sense of humor is a great ice breaker. Just going out anywhere and looking confident and fun is a good way to attract attention. Best of luck

well speaking for myself i do the bar scene..but the guys i like the best are in the bars but they dont drink

number uno - dont talk about how much money you make -

dont try to hard..it'll happen when it happens

try this, go up to a table of women and ask if they have seen your congressional medal of honor, you lost it somewhere in here. wear a white shirt and have your amex black card in the front pocket. whatever you do turn you cell to vibrate or off, cell phones are a no no on the first date.

Let me paraphrase words of wisdom from an old friend:

"Just have fun.
It's really that simple".

I agree. No pick up lines. Just be yourself. With me, I love a sense of humor in a guy. If they have that they also have a very serious side. If they are willing to be funny when talking with me that means they are willing to take a risk to show me the real them. Nerves and all. That is priceless.
No bullshit. Do not tell a woman anything you do not seriously mean. We have long memories. Do not tell us you are going to call us and don't follow thru with what you said. That may have worked in college. Not today. Just be you.

I like striking up conversations in Barnes and Nobles or Borders.

I just want to thank Heave for posing this question.

I also want to thank all of the wonderful ladies for their helpful advice, so now I guess I'll be spending more time in bookstores and grocery stores and hoping for the best. :)

The things that stand out most to me when I am out in public is someone that has a smile on their face and someone that is polite. I think that most women really appreciate the simple things in life so dont feel that you have to over do it. Good luck!

Watch the movie Swingers, and don't do that. Your money baby..

Borders is my store...ha ha ha...at least shares my last name. I love going in there and using a check to pay for things. I get some interesting looks.

Humble confidence is a HUGE attracting quality.

As for WHERE to meet women...they are everywhere! Just remember the line from Jerry McGuire..."You had me at hello". You never know who you might meet until you take that first step of initiating conversation.

I agree with soon..making a girl laugh is real important. i prefer (or did prefer when I went out) a guy who is real, no cheesy pick up lines. a good conversation goes a long way.

I have a don't. Do not tell me how much you make I had four guys recently do this and I don't get it. It is a total turn off for me.
