I wish there was a more targeted way to socialize. If we are talking about finding dates or intimacy, I loath going out and just "being somewhere" for the sake of being "out there". 1 in 10 people may be interesting to me, and the ratio tightens when I look at only female conversation. Having extended conversation enough to know if I want to get to know someone more, to do with 10 people could easily take a year. Unless of course I go sit somewhere often and poll people as they walk by like a checkout line.
