EE/CS Computer Facility, Cambridge MA Lines: 25 [*This line to feed the starving line eaters of the world*] I have a rather interesting problem, being age 20, I'm not able to go into most singles clubs, and in fact, most singles from what I can tell are usually much older then I am, not that there is anything wrong with that, it's just not what I'm looking for. What I would like to find, is a nice girl around the age of 20, +- a few years would be fine, but the problem I have run into is sort of a how-to problem, first is where, what's a good place to meet such people, second is how does one enter into a conversation with someone you don't know, without coming off like a jerk? Advice as to how to motivate yourself wouldn't be turned down ... Most of all, what are signs to look for as 'warning' signs, i.e. this is someone who is going to reject the attempt with a large amount of hostility? As I have found, this response happens a lot depending on location, time of day, surroundings, exsistance of friends near by, and phase of moon, among other obvious things. I know this sounds overly basic, but I'm being completely serious. Thanks in advance, -- Shawn
