Black, Beautiful and Single? 10 Exciting Places to Meet Men

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.

So fasten your seatbelts, ladies, and enjoy the ride, because all you need is confidence and the desire to try something new!
