Best Spots to Meet Dates at College

By Uloop Writer on June 20, 2013

I know what you’re thinking. This bar. That bar. The gym if you’re looking for a sorority girl or frat dude. Those places will occasionally work if you’re looking to meet dates in college, but they are certainly not the best places.

I remember when I was a freshman, so many years ago. I was virtually helpless when it came to hitting it off with females. I didn’t know where to look, who to look at, or how long I should look. But this blog isn’t about how to attract a friendly friend, it’s about where to go if you want them to come to you. I’m about to list off places that teem with singles ready to mingle. These places are so steamy, so poorly lit, so carnal, that you won’t need to be a modern Casanova to engage in some stimulating conversation, and maybe other things.

Before I reveal these coveted locations to meet dates, I must ask you one question. Are you even ready? Are you ready to have eight different dates in one week? Can you handle being hit on by three people at once? Do you want to find your soul mate in the next hour?

If you answered in the affirmative to these questions, read on, reader. But know this, your love life changes now.

Under your bed

When I was four years old, I spent a lot of time under my bed, and I often shared that most intimate of spaces with a much older and mature gal: my babysitter. I interacted with her in places other than under my bed, sure, but it was there that we shared much more than the simple, frantic, high-pitched screaming that is conversation to a four-year-old. It was there that I proposed, and it was there that she said yes. Admittedly, I didn’t find a fiance under my bed in college, but I still sneak a peak every once in a while, because you never know who you’ll find under there.

Graduation ceremonies

This one is a gem hiding in plain sight. Where else can you find every available senior girl or guy in one place? Where else can you find people wearing identical gowns? Here’s my advice. Buy last year’s gown from Goodwill, wait until the end of the ceremony, and then run around hugging every person you’re attracted to. Be sure to say things like, We did it! Can you believe it?! Damn you smell good. It’s nearly guaranteed they’ll be asking you out for a drink in the first minute.

The baking aisle, grocery stores

The pickup lines available to you on that aisle are boundless. Some examples:
- Could you be so sweet and point me to the sugar?
- How quick do you want to get out of here and go back to my place? Bisquick or that quick?
- Variety is the spice of life, and we’ve never kissed…
- I hope your oven’s big, cause I’m putting my upside-down pineapple cake in it.
- Hello, my name is _____. Want to go in on some whipped cream with me?
Nothing says love quite like the smell of those heavenly aisles. (Read more food pickup lines.)

Laundromats

If you’re looking for a girl, then a laundromat is the perfect place. Girls are always alone in there because their friends aren’t going to wait with them in those hell holes. Also, what’s a better way to meet your soul mate than while you’re both folding underwear?

Libraries

What’s hotter than a wink through the shelves? Also, a lot of Harvard students are having sex in their campus library, so must be something in the air in there.

That’s enough for now. Stop reading and start flirting.
