Single people are everywhere, but not every location is ideal for getting to know someone. Ideally you’ll want to talk to people in locations where they may expect to be hit on. Here now is my list of the top places to meet single people.

• Bars, clubs, lounges. For those in their 20′s, these establishments are ideal for meeting new people. It’s best to attend with at least one other friend. Your friend(s) can serve as your wingman. Ideally you’ll want to go with a positive frame of mind. Be in a good mood, as you’ll be surrounded by good music, dim lighting and friends. The goal for the night should be to have a good time. If you end up meeting someone new consider that a bonus. If you go in with that kind of attitude you’ll increase your chances of success.
  
• School. Remember when you were in high school? There were plenty of classmates who you surely had a crush on. Yet you did not have the courage to let them know how you felt. Plus you were awkward and nervous. But now things are different. Consider going back to college. You can get a better education to get a better job and you might even meet some new friends of the opposite sex along the way.
• Coffee shops. Establishments like Starbucks and Coffee Bean have become a popular place to meet new people. These coffee shops present a calm quiet environment where people come to relax and socialize. Locate a coffee shop that’s busy and don’t sit in the corner. Don’t act like you’re too busy to be approached. Just sit in a relaxed manner and be sure to smile if anyone glances your way. If no one is approaching you, don’t be shy and approach someone yourself.
• Online dating. Perhaps the easiest place to meet single people is online. There are countless dating sites that were created to connect single people like you every single day. There are generic dating sites as well as those who cater to specific categories such as dating based on race, religion or interests.
