I can talk to girls just fine, and I can talk to strangers, but I've just ended up dating good friends or random girls from facebook/craigslist in the past. My last ex was a random chick I got into a philosophical argument with about nihilistic value on IRC. I've just kind of had that sort thing "come to me" naturally. I don't know what the "typical" means of meeting people are. As for stock lines, I've never needed them, I just strike up conversation. I had a job in sales a few years ago, it trained me to talk to complete strangers without needing pre-rehearsed lines. Coffeeshop and bookstore are sounding promising. Actually, I'll go do the former now. Thanks for the advice. P.S. I'm terrible at detecting cues, but face to face has generally been better for me.
