Walking on the street
The street is a pretty bad place for a man to meet a woman. Most women are guarded when walking the streets because they have met so many weird dudes who hit on them without tact. You could be the best guy in the world and even perfect for the woman you see walking to the book store. However, she will likely only see you as another male weirdo who desperately wants to have a sex with her. Although it’s not impossible to get a woman to stop and give you her contact info, the chances are very slim.
