This is a little off topic, but I wanted to add this to this thread since a certain person doesn't think much of coffee houses. I just got this in one of my eboxes from one of those dating guru's wayne something or another:

HOW TO MEET WOMEN IN COFFEE SHOPS
============================================
So Wayne, why coffee shops? Can I really meet
beautiful girls there?
The reason coffee shops are one of my top
places to meet girls is because MANY single women go
there to read, and plus... they are usually by
themselves, and quite open to having a conversation
wiht someone interesting.
chris, you've simply got to try this out
for yourself. I've met several girlfriends, and many
great girls to just have fun with (I'm sure you know
what I mean).
But how do you meet women in coffee shops? Well
one of the big keys is WHERE you sit. Most coffee shops
have an area that has nice soft, cushy chairs to relax
on. If your local one doesn't, then find another one
(I'm serious).
Around my area, there's a place called "Panera
Bread", and they have a little area with 3 big soft
leather chairs, a coffee table to put your stuff on,
and a nice fireplace.
This is the perfect area to sit, because if a
woman sits down in that area, there's a very high
chance that she's just there to hang out, or just read.
And since you're practically sitting together, it's
very easy to comment on just about anything to get the
conversation started.
You can comment on something she's wearing, the
weather outside, the temperature of the room, what book
she's reading, etc. It doesn't matter... what does
matter is that you just get your foot in the door.
It's also a really good idea to carry
interesting things with you to the coffee shops. Some
of my favorite things to bring are:
* A big book that says "Handwriting Analysis" on it.
* A deck of Tarot Cards.
* A bunch of pictures of single women that I can go
through in front of her (and ask her which one she
things I should go out with... this is fun to do. I
talk about this in my book "Seven Magic Words").
* Any kind of interesting, and portable game or puzzle.
(oh the puzzle one is powerhouse, because you can ask
for her help in solving it).
If you don't know how to do Handwriting
Analysis or Tarot, then pick something else that you
can learn. Trust me, once you get the hang of it,
starting up conversations in coffee shops is very easy.
Also, make sure you get to know the employees
that work there. They can be a huge help in introducing
you to people, and letting you know when good bands are
coming in to play (which will make the place full of
women).
Make sure you check out at least 5 coffee shops
before you decide on which one you like the best. This
will take a little bit of time on your part, but it's
well worth it. Plus, if you become a regular, you'll
get to meet the other regulars, and some of them are
bound to either be single, or have single friends that
they will bring along sometime.
So get out there, and start checking out your
local coffee shops. The best time to go is around
lunchtime, or between 6-8pm. Coffee shops usually get
crowded around that time, and so your chances of
meeting some nice girls is much higher.
