Looking For Love In All the Right Places

So you’ve tried the local pub, the dance clubs and the produce section of the grocery store, and you still haven’t had any luck finding the girl or guy of your dreams. Maybe it’s time to switch up your routine for finding romance.

Try thinking outside the box. iVillage recently published a list of great places for lovelorn men to meet women. Many locations and ideas on the list—art galleries, continuing education classes, yoga workouts—are places where women not only feel more comfortable, but they also tend to greatly outnumber men.

Ladies, if you’re not having any luck, you can follow the same approach and frequent places where the ratio is likely to be in your favor. Join a co-ed softball team, take a business course or go on a hiking expedition; many universities or gyms have organized trips you can sign up for. Once in a while, it's important to mix it up without a mixed drink. Tell us your top spots for meeting new people!  [iVillage]
