trouble meeting girls

Bit of a weird question. I recently moved away to a new town to work for a year ( as part of my uni course) - i dont know anyone, and the the people i work with are much older so not into partying as much. I dont know the area, i dont know anyone in the area, and i find it difficult walking up to random strangers. How the hell are young single guys meant to meet women without being introduced first.... something i just cant work out. Can anyone help?

Have some confidence and just go up and talk to them. No lines, just start a conversation and be honest with them. If you're smiling and genuinely open, you'll find yourself meeting people in no time.

Avoid lines. Talk to them. You will know if they are approachable or not. When you start talking to them you will know how they feel. It's difficult but worth it. And on the off chance yu make a prat out of yourself - no-one knows you.

Go to coffee shops, if there is a girl by herself get a drink and ask if the seat is taken.

i think there was a thread sometime ago about meeting people in coffee shops and i'm sure most girls replied with 'i'd find that creepy' :p:

but yes, do start conversations wirh people - having had a few people do that to me i can say it's worthwhile. bear in mind that some people you meet in e.g. night clubs, you may not want to see again...i don't find clubs are a meeting place for people to make friends, but that's just me!

haha, does that actually work?

No, but you may get results by windmilling the general public. That, or a restraining order...

Also, have you considered frequenting local dogging areas?

if you find it easier then try making friends with guys first, if you perhaps go to bar and just get chatting to people.
Whenever i have been in bars by myself waiting for someone i have been approached by some fairly decent seeming people offering to buy me a drink or just making conversation.
