Consider alternative events and locations where you can meet girls other than bars.

Bars can be a challenging place for introverts to connect well with multi-faceted, bright women. Happily, there are many other places that help introverts shine and attract women who deeply appreciate who they are!

 

1. Join an adult sports league.

There are many different levels of competition when it comes to adult recreational and competitive leagues, so don’t worry if you aren’t very sporty or if you’re out of practice!

Even if there aren’t any women on your team who you’re interested in, each time your team plays another team is an opportunity to meet a woman who shares one of your interests.

2. Consider meeting women at your place of worship.

If you are looking to connect with a woman who shares your religious beliefs, consider the women you cross paths with at faith gatherings.

Since it is often important to be on the same page about religion in long term relationships, a faith gathering is a great place to find a potential match for the long run.

3. Start volunteering or join a fundraising event.

Whether you’re serving meals to the less fortunate or participating in a Race for the Cure fundraiser, it can be a great way to meet someone who shares your compassionate spirit and heart for helping others.

If you want to find places where you can volunteer in your area, this is a great resource.

4. Sign up for a fun class.

You can register for a fitness class at your gym, book some cooking classes, or enroll in a painting class. You never know who you might meet there!

You could also consider signing up for a speed dating session, if you want to know beforehand that all the women will be single and looking to connect!

5. Head to the park or beach.

Especially at large parks in big cities, you’ll find many women enjoying a jog, soaking up some sunshine, or cooling off in the shade of the trees.

You may feel drawn to a woman reading a book that you’ve heard of or someone working on her slacklining skills.

Dog parks are a great place to meet women as well, and your puppies can be the perfect topic to start a conversation!

There are countless ways to connect with women at parks or beaches, and the fact that you’re each enjoying time in nature is another great conversation starter!

6. Check out a local museum.

Art, history, or science… you pick! Follow your interests, and see who ends up sharing your curiosity about the same pieces as you.

7. Consider meeting women at a grocery store, restaurant, or coffee shop.

A certain amount of waiting is a common denominator at each of these establishments. Whether you’re both waiting for the barista to set your drinks on the counter or you’re waiting in the same line at the grocery store, you can strike up a conversation and see where it goes!

8. You can meet women in bookstores or libraries.

This is just about as far away as you can get from the loud and overwhelming bar scene! If you’re looking for ways to meet women outside of bars and would prefer a quieter, calmer atmosphere, this is a great option for you.

9. Reach out to friends or family if you’d like to be introduced to someone they know.

Did you know that meeting through mutual friends used to be the most common way for couples to connect? It can feel safer and more externally affirming to meet someone with whom you have mutual friends.

10. Meeting women online is more common than ever.

According to this study on online dating, meeting through online platforms has now surpassed the popularity of meeting through a mutual friend. If you’re new to the online dating scene, we’ve got you covered! Check out this online dating success guide.

11. Finally, remember to keep your eyes open wherever you find yourself.

If your goal is to meet new people and connect with awesome women, remain open to opportunities no matter where you find yourself.

The great news is that you don’t have to force yourself to go to bars to expand your social circle and meet attractive women if that doesn’t feel right for you!

There are wonderful women everywhere. The alternatives to bars we’ve listed here only scratch the surface when it comes to great places to meet beautiful, kind, intelligent women.

So, wherever you find yourself, keep an open mind as to who you may find there!
