You're a black, beautiful woman who happens to be single! Your first
thought might be to grab your closest friends and travel to a place
filled with nothing but successful, attractive, available men. While the
possibility sounds nice, there's no need for extremes! Instead, explore
these 10 exciting places to meet the opposite sex, and discover how
altering your routine and enjoying a night without the girls can
increase your chances of developing new friendships that might lead to
romance.Sporting Events/Sports Bars
It's no secret that many men love sports.
You can meet men just by watching them play at a nearby court or field,
or by sitting in the bleachers at an NBA or NFL game. Even if being in a
sports environment isn't your thing, relationship experts advise
venturing outside of your comfort zone. It's true: Opposites can
attract.
Start off slowly by going to happy hour with the girls at a casual sports bar. You can dress in your favorite jeans, hottest "T" and most comfortable shoes. If you want to attract even more attention, go alone. When going solo, sit in the bar area to enjoy your favorite drink or appetizer. You'll soon discover that some men find nothing more appealing than a game, a beer and a beautiful, unassuming woman by herself at the bar.
Grocery Stores
If you are a morning grocery shopper, try
shopping at night. Changing your schedule is another way of attracting
the opposite sex. Besides, you never know whom you might bump into in
the produce aisle! Try shopping in grocery stores that feature coffee
shops, DVD aisles and food samplings. These types of multipurpose stores
are more likely to attract a wider array of people, which might include
single men who share your interests.
Bookstores/Coffeehouses
What are
popular playgrounds for mingling?
Bookstores and coffeehouses! Many host book signings, guest speakers,
live entertainment and endless possibilities to meet people with similar
interests. Plus, they are excellent places to bring a laptop, enjoy a
latte and watch men.
Online
If you are hesitant about online dating,
remind yourself — it's the twenty-first century! The Internet has become
an exciting tool for meeting men. In addition to live chats, Skype™ and
picture uploading, many sites feature compatibility matching to make it
easier for you to find the right guy.
Sunday's Finest
Yes,
you've probably heard your mother say
it over and over again: "You'll find some good men in church!"
Regardless of your religion, seek out singles' groups at your place of
worship and get active.
Hardware Stores
If you are a single woman, you might have a
handyman on deck to call whenever you have a leaky faucet. Instead of
sending your Mr. Fixer-upper to the hardware store to get the supplies —
do it yourself! That's right: A lot of available men patronize hardware
stores, and many are more than willing to help a beautiful woman with
questions about home improvement.
Parks
It's getting warmer, and if you like to
walk, this is prime time for you to get out there and mingle. A lot of
single men like to go to parks to jog, walk their dogs and check out
women. Be that eye candy, and get in shape while you do it! Just
remember — for your safety — to walk or run in the daytime when more
people are in the park.
Car Dealerships
Whether or not you're looking to buy a car,
check out the new models. Dealerships are open season for a single
woman. From salesmen to potential buyers, many men at the dealership are
more than willing to answer your questions while getting to know you a
bit better.
Concerts
There are plenty of music lovers in the
world. This is what makes an entertainment venue a perfect place to meet
men who are diggin' the same tune. Whether you're seeking a date to a
summer concert series or just looking for a friend to take to jazz in
the park, let music be your romance muse.
Airports
There is nothing more attractive than seeing
a beautiful woman walk through an airport and own it! So the next time
you fly, think of the airport as your runway. Start conversations with
complete strangers on the plane, and dress as though you are going out
on the town even if you are just going to see your mother. Take
advantage of flight delays and layovers by dining in an airport eatery;
you never know who will sit beside you.
