"Kelly from Chicago has a question: &amp;quot;I am sick of being single, and I want to meet a guy. But where? Bars are the worst. I need more ideas of where to meet men. Help!&amp;quot; After the jump, Smitten to the rescue!**** My dear Kelly, meeting men can feel as hard as climbing Mount Everest--it&amp;#x27;s a struggle, you get tired out, we want to give up, but, if it all works out, you enjoy a nice view at the end. To make things easier, here are a few ways to meet guys.... * One foolproof way: Ask all your friends--and even acquaintances--to set you up. (Read more here.) * Go to the dog run. Most cities have dog runs in various parks. Men take their dogs to these parks, and you can bring a tennis ball, sit near a cute guy on a bench and chat it up. I have a friend who met her husband at a dog run! * Barnes &amp;amp; Noble. This bookstore behemoth was made for singles. On any given day, there are tons of cute--and book-loving!--guys walking the aisles, reading magazines and sitting against the bookcases. Grab your favorite magazine (not a wedding one), park yourself on the floor next to the sports section and bat your eyelashes. Or, if you&amp;#x27;re feeling bold, sit down near a cute guy and ask him, &amp;quot;How do you like that book?&amp;quot; * Online dating. Five of my friends met guys through match.com and jdate.com--and are now married to these men. Online dating may feel nervewracking, but it&amp;#x27;s a great way to expand your friend group. At the very least, you&amp;#x27;ll have a bad date and a funny story to tell your friends. At most, you&amp;#x27;ll live happily ever after. My dear readers, where have you met guys in the past? Any surprising places? If you&amp;#x27;re taken, where did you meet your boyfriend? I&amp;#x27;d love to hear!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
