I recently broke up with my girlfriend, and I need to find ways to meet women. Before I had a girlfriend I tried learning some of the techniques like the Mystery Method. While I was a lot less confident then, they came off as cheesy, and I always felt as if I was acting, when really I don't have a desire to be an asshole or recite shitty lines. I've tried going out alone, since I don't know many people here, but things get awkward.

I've found that in class it's much easier to meet girls and talk, but now it's summer. Are clubs/bars the best places to meet women, and if they are, do you approach groups of people or individuals and talk? Concerts seem like a good bet, although I find it awkward initiating conversation with girls, as I don't know what to say. I would use Tinder, but the whole concept of it seems degrading.

Really, I just need to know where to meet girls and how to initiate conversation.

Thanks for reading.

First start talking to girls just to talk. That's your first hurdle. Girls can be found at bars/clubs

Get involved in classes, maybe get a job where girls are usually hired like a nice restaurant. I know i have a social group of servers that are 80% girls. They are hired for their attractiveness. And the guys are usually good looking too. So win win for me.

There are women everywhere. Everywhere. You can't learn to swim without getting in the pool.

1. Approach women. Even if you strike out with every single one, at least you are getting better.
2. Join clubs that interest you.
3. Find local events in the area and go to them. Talk to people there -- not just girls but guys too. This will help you get better at conversing.
4. Befriend socially outgoing guys and girls that have large social circles (and use them to grow your own social circles).
