Personally I don't think it is different that going to meet someone for coffee.

Well I have to say its more fun and more successful to actually meet someone in person.....on here people tend to be hyper-paranoid....but I was at Loblaws one day, just shopping for some groceries and sorta ran into a gal and her friend while I was turning into another lane.....once we our eyes met we both seemed to see each others eyes just light up and grow large....
we kept on our ways not saying anything, I ran into her again a little way after....we both stop breifly and we like 'wow'....thats what it felt like....but still didnt say anything....walking away again, we both turned back after a bit to check each other out.....
You are so right on the face to face chemistry. Nothing beats a grocery store encounter when you turn to check out a cutie and catch her checking you out too. The tough part is getting the first word out. | |

Posted: 9/26/2007 6:32:27 PM | | I'v built grocery stores for the last 35 years. So everyone would have a chance to meet someone in them. But I never had any incounters in one myself other than the little old ladies who can't reach the top shelf. I'll have to stop planting my garden and start buying my Produce at the market. | |

Posted: 10/28/2007 10:57:24 PM | | I agree that hovering or continuing to 'bump into them' around the store can be uncomfortable...but it's difficult to get to asking for a number or to go out for coffee in the few moments you have over produce or where ever...it's a difficult one. What's is the sign that she wants to talk more? I dunno.... | |

Posted: 10/28/2007 11:51:59 PM | I read some time ago that Germany was implementing "Singles Day" at Walmart. You put a flag on your cart if you are single/looking. I think it's hilarious. It hasn't hit the states yet, but I just can't imagine roaming through the femine/condom isle thinking, "Wow ~ he's a doll, wonder why he buys condoms in bulk......Hmmmmm???" It seems to work overseas.  | |

Posted: 11/3/2007 2:28:23 AM | | This is an interesting topic because I actually dated someone I met at Wal Mart several years ago! We actually lived in the same small town and had seen each other in passing at the local gas station previously but never struck up a conversation. I don't know what made him approach me in Wal Mart but he did and he invited me to go have coffee with him, which I did. Anyways, things ultimately did not work out but I have some very fond memories from the experience! | |

I see the same women shopping alone a lot and always say hello to them. Often we stop and talk a moment. Nothing wrong with that and I certainly wouldn’t be trying to date them.
Also, there’s one large store that’s open 24/7 and I like to shop there about midnight. For some reason there is always a few single women shoppers there who tend to be rather friendly (with me, anyway). In fact, if I was looking, that would be a better deal than sitting in a bar somewhere. Easier to meet women, anyway.
That place has an open coffee shop where anyone entering the store can see who is sitting there. I often stop for a small sandwich & whatever and sit and read a while. It’s not at all uncommon for people I know, when they see me there alone, to grab a drink and sit for a while to chat. Nothing ever comes of it, though, and I’m not out looking, anyway. Mostly, the women are people I know from just that store and nowhere else and there has never been even a hint of meeting anywhere else. Some are the local hospital’s afternoon staff shopping on the way home or police department people.

Posted: 11/3/2007 11:14:56 AM | | My mom keeps telling me to meet men at the gym. She doesn't seem to understand 1) I am there to work out- not pick up men. 2) after 45 minutes on the elliptical I am coated in sweat and not exactly feeling amorous. | |

I have never figured out how this works. Sure, maybe I could muster up the courage to ask some handsome hunk in the produce department how to pick out a good mango. But where do you go from there?
Well it's called comunication dear. You have to let him know your interested perferably with a zest of humor. EXAMPLE: After you ask him to help you choose the proper mango. Then ask him if he thinks those mangos would make a good Fruit of the Loom salad? I bet he will laugh and that will be your ICE-breaker then get his name and digits or hand him your card and say call me for coffee sometime~

Posted: 11/3/2007 11:36:16 AM | I met a cashier at a grocery store once. It was wierd because she asked me out... it was a 24 hour grocery and i went in and got a bunch of supplies for a movie set and i was pretty much the only customer there and my items were soo 'all over the place' that she couldn't help but ask why the hell was i buying a plunger and exlax at the same time...
i told her "umm...wishful thinking?"
She laughed her ass off and said "i like you.. we should go out for a drink sometime".. and we exchanged numbers.
Unfortunately i was in a town only visiting and i didn't get to hang out, but i called her anyway ... maybe next time?

Posted: 11/3/2007 11:44:05 AM | | I am luckier at rock concerts at getting dates than at the bar or a grocery store. When I shop I tend to do it at the wrong times and I usually have a goal and a directive( or I am taken at the time). As a sensitive male who never cheats, it is funny that the only time women seem interested in me is when I have a steady. When I am single,it is like pulling teeth to get a lady to talk to me. | |

Posted: 11/3/2007 11:54:33 AM | When I go to the grocery store, I don't have the nerve to make eye contact with alot of the men. I become self conscious, so I just continue looking at grocery items to buy and leave the store at a reasonable time. | |

I have my little tricks for meeting women in the grocery store. I have one where I let go of my cart, and let it "accidentally" bump into hers! Then I go with my innocent voice and apologize....then the door is open! | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 4:22:45 AM | I work in a grocery store,so meeting people is easy!! But since I'm on the other side of the counter,I can't pick anyone up,but they have NO PROBLEM throwing me their digits n I only attract the weird n desperate ones.
In your case,u could pretend u r looking for something in the same aisle n department n ask the gentleman to help u.Pretend u r new to the store.
But beware,just cause a man is shopping alone,doesn't necassarily mean he is single.Alot of attached men like to shop! I see it everyday!!
GOOD LUCK N HAPPY FISHING!!  | |

Well, I suppose it can happen. Yet I tend to think that this is one of those instances where it happend once and it made the lists of those writing "How to.." type books. So it eventully became one of those Urban Legends that gets tossed round and round.
Still, I have to say that my brother met his future ex wife in a gym when he lived in NYC. She accidently hit him in the head with some weights. One H&^% of a way to appologize. | |
