I want a funny and decent looking woman. I want a cowboy. I want a woman who likes to relax and not worry all the time about how she looks. I want a man who’s not into material things. I want a girl who likes to fish.

These are all emails your Single Gal has received. If I could find some way to connect these people together, I would be Match Maker in the City…or Orgy Queen, whatever works. The point of this is that every singleton seems to be looking for a partner with whom to enjoy life. And every one of these emails has a common denominator. “I am not into the bar scene.”

So – what do you do? It’s not like you can go to Guys R’ Us. I’m pretty sure Fem-Mart does not exist, although Hooter’s would be a close second. Until you can walk into a retail outlet and pick out your next date like a rump roast, you are going to have to get out there and invent ways of contact on your own. Trust me, I wish Denton had a designated place you could go, not a bar, but just a casual environment to talk to the opposite sex and see if there is a connection. But some people believe if the sign is not neon, and Shiner is not on tap, then there is no way you can meet someone.

Be spontaneous. How about the next time you see a single gal pumping gas, you offer to do the deed. And, ladies, do not hose him with gasoline thinking he’s the Son of Sam. Give the boy a chance. Throw him a bone.

Girls, how about next time you’re in the drive thru and see a complete hottie in the car behind you, you offer to pay for his meal, and slip your business card in with the fries? How sexy is that? Just avoid any food item with a lot of sauce as to where you leave the digits…extra chilli is not sexy.

Until we celebrate the grand opening of Single’s Wholesale Club, we need to find everyday reasons to make a connection. The last time I was in Blockbuster, while surveying the less than adequate new releases, a fairly handsome guy offered to buy the popcorn, if I sprung for the movie. Next time, I will pay more attention instead of tripping the woman next to me for the last copy of 27 Dresses.
