Grocery stores are great places to meet women - they gotta buy food, right? And it offers a great opportunity for you to seem like a helpless male who needs a little feminine wisdom to get him through. Here's the plan: Go up to a woman who's browsing meat (or looking at fruit or reading labels on laundry detergent or whatever). For instance, if it's meat, look over the meat, too, picking some up and reading the labels then setting it back. Turn to her and say, "I'm hopeless at this, I can never pick good steaks. It's always too tough or too fatty or just not fresh. Can you help me out?"

Some women are just out there waiting to be hit on, and they're sending signals. You just have to pick up on the signals, then striking up a conversation is a piece of cake because that's what the woman was waiting for from anybody. It might as well be you!  Go someplace where people hang out, like a bar or bookstore. If there's a woman at the bar who's just sort of looking bored, who keeps looking around the room or even getting up to walk around the room, that woman is looking for action.
