Hi all,

I am looking for a place where I can meet someone and talk for a while and if things click, go out for a movie or outing sometime.

I don't like visiting clubs for that as most of them are noisy.

Is bar a good place for that? Anyone tried? Would appreciate your inputs.

Also, I am looking this in the Santa Clara/San Jose/Sunnyvale/Cupertino area (south bay i.e.).

Your experience/advice would you valuable :-)

Really get to know someone before you meet, ask real questions! Not what kind of music do you listen to stuff...real important issues that mean something to you. As for the bar thing...not a good choice, I prefer to be sober when getting to know someone, besides its too noisy. Something that can be quick or long depending on how well it goes, like coffee, ya know?

Anyone knows any good bars in the santa clara/cupertino/North San Jose areas?

I like Starbucks the best, because coffee is a stimulant, the caffine helps you to be a bit more alert, instead of dulling the senses with a noisy atmoshere and alcohol. Even if you are both having a Pepsi, a bar is still not a cool place for a first date.

The lamest thing I have noticed with blind dates that are truely blind-where you did not exchange photos first-is when you see your date for the first time, get dissappointed and then arrange for a phony phone call to set up a fake "emergency" or some other lame excuse to run out. Girls, if you take the time to show up for the date, at least give the guy his 30 minutes worth, and then have the courage to just say "Sorry, but you are just not appealing to me." You can be holding your can of Mace in your hand if you want as you say that, or take the safety off of your handgun and give him a peek of it in your handbag.

Save the bar for the 2nd or 3rd date. Make it cooler and be sure there is live music there, so Slim's in San Francisco or JJ's in San Jose or Mountain View are cool places. You might even get lucky and go there on a night when I'm in the Band! Then you can have one on me!

Dude! Join the hash house harriers..... we hit every bar in the South Bay.

Just type in SVH3.com and come out to an event. I'm setting trail from San Jose this week. We have a 50/50 mix that come out to play. It's a real good party and way to meet people.

Later,

I think you might want to try church. Yes, church! Church usually have singles night. Great place to meet single people. What more do you want, you get to learn about God and find a date.

Hi I think that going to starbucks coffee or to church could be nice place's to meet.
