Where to Find Men – They are Everywhere

BY MATTHEW TITUS

Next time you run out for milk in your PJ’s, remember this:

Got Chores? In a recent study, it stated over 50% of all couples met each other during an errand. They were not dressed to impress, nor did they plan on finding “the one” that day, it just happened.

Line Up. Surprisingly, a majority of men say standing in line is a great place to meet someone. It’s an instant ice breaker, and quite frankly it makes sense. People feel more comfortable sharing a little misery, and are perhaps more willing to start a conversation with a stranger, in order to pass the time.

Need a Ride? A crowded subway car, bus or train lends itself out to be quite a vehicle for love. Many successful couples reported meeting on some form of transportation, Amtrak is a fave, plus there is even a place to have drinks! The close quarters make for a great excuse for men and woman to talk, flirt and tease each other, without feeling the anxiety of approaching without a reason.

Suit Up. More active people find that singles and co-ed team sports make for a winning combination. When men and woman are working together in a competitive way, the sexual tension builds naturally, and before you know it they are players in their own game of love.
