Get yourself some cheap, standard, business cards printed which don't cost a fortune. I bought 500 cards for $25 and included my Name, Tel Number, Email and MSN. I even got a small metal pocket case for them. This is such a good tip for a number of reasons: 1. You don't have to ask for there number or if they want yours, and you don't have to write anything down, ask to borrow a pen, use your mobiles. It saves all the social discomfort and you can pull out a card in a few seconds and say have my number. 2. Gives them just what information you want and maybe multiple ways to contact you. Some people feel more comfy by text, phone, email or online chat etc. By having varied ways to contact you on the card helps them decide a way to say hello. 3. Cards end up in wallets and purses, this in some respects is true because if you give someone a torn scrappy bit of paper the option to throw or miss place it becomes higher. Most of the time you will find people keep the card even if it takes them 6 months to use it. 4. All around, you could meet someone at a bus stop, social event, study group or wherever, and even after brief conversation where you identify things in common and get a feel for there mood. Try to ask if they're seeing someone in a friendly every day kind of way, this will shows a slight interest and also gives them a chance to pick up on a possible attraction. Then when the conversations coming to an end either pick a shared hobby and say, do you want to go and watch a film? See an art show? I like going to the gym, maybe we could go together sometime? Them you simply say, would you like my number? And hold out your card. Very few people will say no to a card; meaning even if the person your giving it to isn't that sure, they still get your contact information. There has been several occasion in the last few years alone where armed with nothing but a card and honesty I have met some lovely girls. Equipped with your cards, you can take them anywhere, and in all of a few minutes; chat, give a card, and you have showed interest and given away your number to someone you like. Each card takes a second to give away and cost less that boiling a kettle. Last thing - If you think cards are a silly idea and people might giggle, say you use them for work, or say you got fed up of people asking for your number or email and not having it to hand them. And it's cheap!

Find a yoga class in your area that is popular among women in your age range. Of the yoga classes that I have been to, typically 95% of the participants are females (and obviously ones who care about their health and fitness, which I find especially attractive). When you are one of a few guys in an otherwise women-filled room, your chances of meeting a potential date are much higher than just about anywhere else. Plus, the women will naturally pay more attention to you if you are in the small gender minority of the group,that's another feather in your cap.

Just go to a gift shop, and while seeing the gifts (say a little bear)and you see a sexy girl. Ask her opinion on that gift and say that you are buying it for your sister. She will find it cute, and if she is interested, she may talk to you and be friends.
