Then don't look for girlfriends in a place where most people drink and/or smoke. Think of what kind of girl you want to find, try to imagine where such a girl might enjoy being, then go to that place. Joaquim G�ndara wrote: > OK, let me add some more restrictions.

If you're a girl and you're looking for a macho boyfriend this is a good place. Go and look at some statistics and figure out where you're more likely to find the sort of person you're looking for. > I'd first have to feel the need to do something.

It doesn't matter what you Really Think about the weather. The reason it's such a popular subject is because it's a neutral subject that everybody can comment on and which renews itself all the time. It's a polite way to start a conversation (it works with older relatives on Christmas dinner too). Joaquim G�ndara wrote: > Hmm.

No. Ask people who have girlfriends/boyfriends how they met. You can be fairly sure that their answers will involve some amount of talking to each other. -- ##### c ^ OO /\\\\ ##### | /|\ `^^^^^^^%-- '||` | \\\\ ####-[.]\ / \ " " \ ha ha ha dd /[.]-\\\| ### _| |_ \\| ### (_ http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ _)} == \ / A S C I I A R T C H A T # ||\
