Quote - grocery store is a good place, but don't be overzealous checking out your new chosen woman while you passionately fondle the melons.

Really, the grocery store is a great place. just open up with idle chit chat about the price of beef and chicken, the rising cost of milk, and all that, then casually slip in that you're going to be cooking out and would you want to come over for a steak ? maybe a beer ?

also, just be real..none of that phoney stuff. Hey, I'm an old fart too, but if you're nice and just talk about stuff, especially when there's a few people around..and be humerous...its a real ice breaker.

 

To be honest, the last thing on my mind when I'm at a grocery store is to meet a guy. In fact I go to all sorts of lengths to avoid talking to people when I'm grocery shopping. The only exception of course is if someone asks my advice on a grocery item, or I'm sitting at Starbucks taking a needed back rest break. However, even then I'm not interested in some strange guy chatting me up and asking me over to his place for a BBQ. I think that would be kind of creepy actually.

My advice is to not try so hard to "find a girl friend."  Go out and get involved in life and activities. Take a class. Volunteer.  Meet people as friends without any pressure for anything more.

If there is chemistry there between you and someone else, great!  But don't go out looking for it because you will only come across as desperate. And there is nothing more of a turn off to both men and women is someone trying too hard to impress or "snag" a partner.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
