Meeting girls to take home to mum and dad isn’t as arduous as it sounds. You can go to bars and clubs to meet girls – but I don’t suggest that route, because it’s hard to tell the truly great girls from the others. You can meet girls at work too, but again I don’t recommend that. If things don’t go well with that girl, you still have to work alongside her, and it may be awkward.

Sometimes your friends will introduce you to girls you haven’t met – like their sisters and cousins. Talk to them perhaps, but don’t meet up. You could end up spending lots of money on a date to have a truly uncomfortable evening with the girl. These things seldom work out.

The best places to find girls that you’ll truly want to be with long term are clubs and organisations that you belong to. You’ve already got things in common with them, and you’ve probably got to know them a little in the club or organisation. Others in the club will probably be able to give you some information about them too – which is always useful.

What if you don’t belong to any clubs or organisations? Get out there and join some – NOW. Go to a church – a wonderful place to meet nice girls. If there aren’t any single girls within the church you visit, go to another until you find girls to date. Join a council or community or similar group. Girls who are civic or community minded tend to love guys who have the same outlook on life. This is all about “giving back”. The more you give the more you get. A lot of nice girls (and good role models for your future children) can also be found in political organisations. And gyms have their fair share too.

If all else fails, join an online dating service. There are thousands of nice girls out there, and online dating is a reasonably safe way to see their profiles and find out more about them. From there, you can ask a girl you’re interested in on a date – always make the first date very public, and in daylight.
