There really is no BEST place. So any where on this planet is just about the right place.

You could keep going to the same bars and continue trying to make eye contact at the gym... or you can try these clever ideas for connecting.
Whose relationship history includes...
Whose faith is... By all means, keep going to your favorite neighborhood pub; continue scanning profiles online; and go ahead and give that blind date a shot. But if your "meet someone" routine could use a little lift, check out something new. We talked to ten high-profile types to give you some bright ideas about where to start scouting. Happy hunting!
Charity begins with... you
"Join a charity committee. Not only will you be giving back, but it automatically puts you in a feel-good setting with like-minded, educated, concerned people who care about more than clubs and bars and partying."
- Ron Berkowitz, president of Berk Communications, a PR firm
Let's makeup
"The cosmetics counter of a chic department store is great place to meet women. A man could easily go with the 'I'm buying my mother a gift, what do you think of this' scenario. Women love men who think of their mothers and understand the need for a great lipstick."
- Olivia Chantecaille, creative director, Chantecaille Beauté cosmetics
Get cooking
"I think a great place to meet guys is a cooking class because there's nothing more impressive than a man who cooks—and if he's learning to improve his cooking skills, there's probably a candlelit dinner or two in your future."
- Nicole Young, lifestyle reporter
Hit the mat
"Yoga! Yoga is a great place for men to meet women—classes are filled with gorgeous, flexible, strong women who are into fitness and the body/mind connection. Guys think it's wussy, but it's hard core. And you really see what everyone looks like. There aren't a lot of clothes. There's no makeup. And it makes you feel great about yourself afterwards. During class there's no socializing, but afterwards it's fair game."
- Belisa Vranich, clinical psychologist/sex editor
Ante up
"Play poker. Find a group night at a bar or club or lounge or a charity tournament. It's great for women because it is typically so male-oriented, though more and more women are getting into it. And it's a nice way to really see how someone behaves in a group setting—or how good they are at bluffing, which could be a warning signal!"
- David Rabin, owner of Lotus, a NYC nightclub and lounge
Be more well-read
"Hands down, the greatest place for people to meet one another has to be a book-signing event. It's where you know you will find someone with similar interests and intellectual pursuits and it always lends itself to the most relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere. Guests are encouraged to exchange ideas and commentary on the evening. Here, you can find someone who stimulates your mind before they stimulate your body."
- Sasha Tcherevkoff, owner of NYC restaurants Pop Burger and Pizza Bar
Flirt over fashion
"This is a shameless plug, but it happens to be totally true: The best place to meet future spouses in New York is the Barneys Warehouse sale. If you're not near a Barneys, find a similar big sale at a clothing store that caters to men and women. At Barneys, the men's suit area is full of over-achieving young bucks who are embarking on their careers in the financial community. The gals are all groovy Manhattan chicks changing in the aisles (there are no fitting rooms). It's very easy to strike up a conversation—for instance, 'Shall I help you pick out a tie to go with that shirt?'"
- Simon Doonan, creative director of Barneys New York, author of Wacky Chicks and the upcoming Nasty: My Family and other Glamorous Varmints
Get to church on time
"Meeting boys at church is the only way to go. You already know they're good, which you can't learn at a bar! I'm really shy, so I usually don't say anything to anyone after church, but having to share a hymnal, program, or pen is always a good ploy!"
- Holly Dunlap, creative director for Hollywould, a fashion and shoe company
Take aim
"Believe it or not, shooting ranges are a hot hookup spot. Besides the fact that the guy-to-girl ratio is way better than at a bar, the novelty of learning how to shoot a gun makes for fun conversation. Also, most guys think a chick taking shooting lessons is really hot."
- Andrea Lavinthal, co-author of The Hookup Handbook: A Single Girl's Guide to Living It Up
Get in a sweat
"I tend to meet a lot of women in the waiting room of my therapist's office, though that is not a route I would advise. For something a little different, try a physical challenge—join a local co-ed triathlon training group or sign up for a 10k race with some others. It's athletic, it'll get you off your couch and it's very social."

Church singles groups. There are millions of them--especially if you don't mind a few (hundred) extra pounds.
