Where you meet a woman has the power to define the rest of your relationship. This is true because of three things:

First, because where a woman spends most of her time says a lot about the kind of person she is.

If she’s outgoing and likes to party, chances are you’ll meet her at a club. If she’s athletic and competitive, you might find her at a race. If she’s into humanitarian causes, you might bump into her while building a house for Habitat for Humanity.

Second, she’ll remember where you met, and that will affect her perception of you.

If you meet her at a club, she might assume you only want a casual relationship. If your friends introduce you to her, she’ll know that your friends and her friends already think you might be a good couple, and you’ll probably still see each other sometimes even if you break up.

Third, if she makes a big impression on you when you meet, you’ll also remember what circumstances you met under.

You might always think of her as the wild girl at the club, even if she normally doesn’t go to clubs. These things set the tone for your relationship.  Of course, the circumstances that you meet under don’t have to define the rest of the relationship, but it takes work to erase any negative impressions either one of you might have made. And the very beginning of a relationship is not a good time for problems.

The best place to meet women is during the course of your real life.

You shouldn’t have to go out of your way to meet women. If you don’t see women with the potential to be great girlfriends during your everyday routine, then you need to get out more.

Don’t worry about coming across someone perfect unexpectedly. That’s really the best way to meet women – it’s hard to look desperate for a girlfriend when you’re just going about your business. You can be approachable and attractive even when you aren’t trying to be.

Learning how to meet women anywhere makes dating easier on you in the long run. If the only reason you went somewhere was to find single women, you’re going to have a hard time explaining why you don’t want to go back when you have a girlfriend.

Desperate men chase after women, and you don’t have to be desperate. Meet women wherever you are and leave a good impression, and sooner or later one is going to show you that she’s interested.
