Yeah 46-50 is about my average as well.

I am pretty sure if I ever saw you riding/driving around I would be the first one to say Hi ZGirl

First of all, to everyone that replied to my post, thank you all so much for taking the time to answer, I appreciate each and every response.

I'll tell you how I met my wife and you can tell me if it's a good idea (my kids hate this story).

I moved to a new small city as a career move. I didn't know anyone and I played baseball, so I joined a mens league. One of the office girls noticed that I played and mentioned to me that her ladies team's coach moved away and they were looking for a replacement. At first I was too shy to say yes, but she worked on me and I eventually gave in. But once I thought about it, I figured 20 young women giving me their full attention! What could be better My wife had just came home for the summer after finishing University and loved sports too and for the same reasons, joined the ladies ball team. The rest is history.

My point is that this all started with my intention to so something I liked (sports). BTW, I met a few girls in coed sports in the past, before I met my wife.

You're working hard at it, but you need to work smarter and put yourself in a position to meet women while doing something you like. If it doesn't happen, then you're having fun anyway.

Big Leo
thanks for the tip

talking to strangers is something I plan to work on whether I ask out girls or not though

I think I basically need to increase my social circle, but sometimes I just don't seem to enjoy what the locals enjoy (going to a cafe to get drunk - I can't stand much alcohol)

Well done. Believe me, you are not the only person to have asked out a married woman before... (multiple times)
thanks for the support

Playas are playas and just make me tired...so not worth the effort.
I'll try this, after some small talk

Not like I'd ever use that line though...

But Shiyan, I don't think its a big deal about asking for a girl's name when you don't know them that well.

If anything, I say introduce yourself first, "By the way, I'm ..." put yourself out there first so she won't jump on the defensive. Most cases they'll take the hint and introduce themselves too.

Be friendly, don't be creepy. Too friendly is creepy. Rather then saying "go for a date" why not make it a little more subtle? Ask her to maybe join you for a coffee?

BIGLEO - I love your story....I've heard that best to be doing what you like doing to meet someone.

Hawkeye - you've been married a while, huh? I agree with Socal and Z4Girl that the line fishing for if you're available is best done straight up. Just ask, don't be a playa.

Rosie
yeah I forgot to introduce myself and probably came off as a total creep, had she given me her name I'd probably have suggested some tea and ice cream

Thanks for the advice and support

The thing with confidence is that I think it comes with success, and that's why I plan on talking to strangers as much as possible. I'll slowly get better at striking up a conversation with any random guy or girl, so I'll naturally be more at ease when in a social situation.

At the moment I'm too nervous in the presence of someone I'm attracted to, to be "confident" and "charming", and that's what I'm trying to change.

ZGirl and other GP Fans.

Montreal is a Great City and you should have a blast!!! I find that Montreal is more like a European City while Toronto is like a safer Chicago with less culture I know you Leaf fans are going to flame me, but I lived in the Big Smoke for two years and it's one of the last cities in Canada I would ever live in.

Back to Montreal, it's likely the best weekend of the year. However, it's nuts! I usually go for a day of qualifying and then go to the Vieux Montreal section for dinner (and watch all the gorgeous women and cars go by (my favourite two things to watch). Then I get the hell out of town before the real party starts.

Sounds like the opposite of what I usually try and do

Hell, I flew up to Halifax for New Years just for a party my buddy was throwing

Well worth it. I love Halifax.

After a few years, I find the qualifying more interesting that the race itself. You get to walk around and see more. Race day is just a spectacle...but that's good in it's own way.

As for cute guys...I don't think that will be a problem...races always brings guys out in hords. You should go up to Montreal for the weekend (or more) for the city itself!

Fries, gravy and cheese curds. Quebec classic. In Canada we call it a poutine (*poo-teen*)

If you're coming to Canada, that's a must try food. Especially in Quebec.


You can even get a Poutine at the Canadian Costcos... But I say when you hit up the local dive bars, get a Poutine to try.
