Have trouble meeting women =(

There are a lot of hot girls around the U of A, i've noticed. Go check out the volleyball team...ask them to teach you how to play 😀

If you really want to meet women wear a shirt around the campus with big letters that says "Who wants to date me!?", you'll probably get laughed at, but you'd get some inquiries from others sooner or later i'm sure, maybe from both ladies and guys 😛 - You have to be really outgoing to try and meet women.
 
First of all you have to be confident in yourself. I find that if I am wearing a nice shirt or have been hitting the gym hard for a few weeks, I think I look better, am therefore more confident, and therefore have a better ability to talk to women. So clean yourself up, get physically fit, and buy some nice clothes that make you look good.

Secondly, just start talking to women like you are curious about them as friends. Don't view every woman as a potential wife and the pressure will be small. Heck, even start with small chat with the woman who checks out your groceries or helps you at a store. Even if they aren't someone you would date. I find even a 1 minute conversation helps and will make you more confident. Plus sometimes you just start talking as one topic naturally leads to another.

Cliffs:
1. Confident in oneself
2. Don't put pressure on, just small talk to people in general
 
The only real advice that will help you here is to just keep trying. Rejection is something everyone faces, even good-lucking guys. The key is to take it in stride. I'd suggest trying to be friends with girls first so you can be more comfortable talking with them.
 
I'm trying to think confidently about a few things that I'm really good for. For example, I can cook and don't mind cooking a lovely dinner. How do I use this to my advantage?

On the "intriguing eyes" comment, what if they say, "What's so intriguing about them?" Do I go sappy poetic at that point? Would it be better if I told her she has exquisite eyes?

if a girl ever came back at you saying whats so intriging about them, thats your cue she is NOT worth talking to...
Just say, you have really beautiful eyes.

honestly, i would try any "lines" unless you are at a bar or something or are using a "line" as a joke. Even then it is risky. I may be bias, but TheNinja's suggestions are the best.

I'm recovering from an abusive long-term relationship (she became a bitch). When I got together with her, I wasn't really that good at meeting single women. Needless to say, the skills haven't gone up during that time.

How do I go about finding someone new? Can't ask anyone within my circle of friends, so I'm pretty much restricted to single women that I've never met before. Any thoughts?

let me bottle up my pheramones for you...you'll be warding off fat girls with a hot metal stick.

I'm sorry but that is totally lame. Starting off the interaction by giving her the upper hand??? come on now. He's setting himself up for rejection. How about just walk up and say hi and then go into a funny story or ask them a question.....girls get thousands of lame ppick up attempt like that eyes comment it just plain doesnt work unless she was waiting for you to come talk to her to begin with.

Worry about dates 1 and 2 before you worry about cooking. If you successfully complete date 2 and kiss her briefly then on date three invite her over to cook.


Dating in a nutshell

step 0 - Talk to girls EVERYWHHERE

1) get numbers(you will get many numbers but most will be flakes - dont be discouraged)
2) get dates(you will have many first dates with few second dates dont be discouraged)
3) get date # 2 with same girl
4) Kiss girl by the end of date 2 not necessarily waiting until the end
5) Set up date three lay it on thick....nice romantic dinner at home...movie then scoooooooore
6) rinse and repeat until you find an exceptional companion

Well one thing is for certain, remember to be confident when meeting women. Don't take rejection personally... women are just picky period!

No tacky come on lines...

Be yourself and demonstrate wit, charm and a sense of humor.

Sometimes it isn't always about looks as much as confidence, intelligence and enthusiam.

Always remember to be a gentleman!

Good luck to you!
 
giving a girl an honest compliment is NOT a tacky come on line... sorry...
i wouldn't post things just to f with someone on here... i posted that because that is what *I* would like someone to say to me.
not "hi, my name is desperate, can i tell you a joke to make you see how funny and clever i am?"

I understand where he's coming from though, pickup lines are almost taboo in a sense.

I think I'll try just noticing something about them that they might know about and then talking about it. I'd use the eyes comment as a last resort after a "Hi" if I can't think of anything else to say.

Keep the good advice rolling in. I think telling a joke is the most ineffective way to get a phone number.
 
Also would complimenting her and immediately putting her on a pedestal be the best way to go about things? I'm happy to lay on the compliments, but I want the best way to get a date

I agree, an honest genuine compliment goes really far. If you're not capable of doing that due to shyness, just talk about something in the environment. Start a conversation about something you see, something she's wearing, something she's buying, etc. Just make it up, if she wants to talk she will talk.
