Thing is, if you're looking happy and you have something interesting to say and you can listen to others sharing their story, then I wouldn't know any place where you don't meet people.

But here's some suggestions: bus stops, the park next to a bakery, library if you like books, art classes, sports events, museums, opera, larp if you like costumes, some cafes and cinemas have singles events, boat tours, zoo

I'd advise against clubs, beaches, or sauna if you don't feel confident yet, because those locations are unnecessary difficult.

And basically any place where something predictable happens that you and other people can stop and look at and talk about is easy. Like if you stand next to a construction site, girls who want to talk to you will have an obvious topic to initiate the conversation with.

I think you might want to try meetup activities.

That said, you want to target the underachievers, not the people who are seriously doing the activities.

The grocery store. The bus stop. The town hearing on a shopping mall operator asking for a permit to cut down four trees. A coffee shop. Fuckin' anywhere!

Trader Joe’s (i’m not kidding)
