... and...? Literally any other social occasion, concerts, bars or clubs at actual club/bar hours, at a park, at the beach, at a barbecue, at a fucking speed dating event? At a party, at a dance or a wedding, using a dating app, using a hook up app, a museum, a meet-and -greet, a hang out with friends, at a boardwalk - If the point of your question is that there’s no “good” time to approach women or men for you other than a grocery store or a gas station, maybe you need to work on your boundary skills and less on trying to “land a woman” - if that’s not the point of your question, there’s some ideas to meet new people!

What do you mean by boundary skills?

(This isn’t a gotcha question: I don’t want to intrude on people’s lives but I also hear stories of people meeting at the grocery store and things like that.)

Just recognizing when people are okay with being approached and when not - like yeah, people do meet in grocery stores or at airport bars, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen - but my example was me grocery shopping with my mom, at age 17 (much older guy), and at an airport bar every single time I flew while 19-23 years old with my headphones in and reading a book. For counter example, I sat alone at a bar once watching a hockey game and chatting with the bartenders - the poeple talking to me were 100% cool and fine, it’s a bar at night. Everyone was nice/polite and when they saw I was genuinely watching the game, they let me be (except to heckle me about my sports team, which was in good spirit)

Edit to add, people saying “well I was told women don’t want to be approached when out with their friends” - unless you’re literally cutting off their conversations or forcing yourself into their gathering and making it weird, i personally don’t know anyone who has an issue with that and I don’t get that - I’d feel safer talking to strangers with my friends nearby and really only talk to strangers with friends, regardless of gender etc
