Can anyone tell me what proper etiquette is when trying to meet someone? I don't want to spend my time in bars trolling for women, I don't want to use online services, and I don't want to date anyone I work with (my last two wives fall into this category). I am not a very outgoing person and if I see someone I think is attractive if I don't know them how do I start a conversation? Also, I am 38 but I would guess most people wouldn't guess me much over 30 if that, so shallow as it may seem I am mostly attracted to women 25 - early 30's so it is even somewhat difficult telling how old some are (I mean over 21). I mean how many questions can you ask when you see someone out (say a store) before you just seem creepy? I really would appreciate some women's opinion on this, telling me what will and won't work when that time comes.

In terms of figuring out how old they are, I find it's best to just cut them in half and count the rings.
Good luck. If you need me - I'll be sitting at the bar by myself.
Be myself... Check
Don't ask questions... Check
Smile... Check
Be nice and friendly... Crap! Looks like I'm going to be single for a LOOOOONG time.
Remind me to kill him if he ever comes out!
1. large group settings, small intimate dinners cause too much pressure
2. wait to see the person at the event, before suggesting a coffee or dinner or drink
3. keep the dialogue light and friendly, no sad stories; current events, news, music, did you know?....
4. stay away from the industry; do not date people you work with or encounter as a client or consultant...way too risky
5. if you know someone single, and you heard this person is looking, and you meet them, don't wait for an intro, talk to them yourself; and give them card at the end for maybe a coffee or drink
6. stay away from bar hopping; that's just drunk people looking to get laid, and if that's what you want, my advice is go to a professional; you'll probably save a lot of money and won't make a jackass out of yourself after all the beers are in you.
