Yes you can meet (Say hi) to them but that's unfortunately up to them too to take things further with you. You two can exhcange numbers but it's up to them what they do with that information! They can throw your number away, or put it on their phone (and also delete or block later!), they can outside overtly REFUSE your number or say no to your request for that number on the spot! So many things can happen that aren't of your control unforrtunately! ... OR, in the best case scenario for someone seriously looking for "love"... you guys go on multiple dates and fall in love, get married and live happily ever after with two kids and a dog! ... or not...
Yes! its how i first met my guy!
Sure.
"Excuse me, but do you think this cucumber is the right size?" asked the guy.
"Excuse me, but do you think these melons are ripe?" said the girl.
Yes, it’s one of the best places to meet women.

Oh definitely. When I used to be a cashier at a grocery store that's how I got some numbers from female customers as well as co-workers. There was a nice-looking older woman there I would chat with when she came through my line who was in her late 40s, tall and had a nice figure. I finally asked her once if she wanted to go out some time and she was cool with it. I wouldn't exactly call it a date and I'm sure she wouldn't either, we went out and had something to eat at Five Guys and chatted and everybody was staring at us like 'that white cougar got herself a young black guy!' Lol. I still text her every now and then to see how she's doing.
I also asked an older Peruvian lady at another job for her number but waited to do it when we got out to the parking lot so no manager's could fire me or anything lol. She also was interested and liked that I liked older women as I told her.
I've never really met anyone, including friends, at the grocery store. In my experience, most people just want in and out and to get the shopping trip out of the way, and are too busy to stay and talk for long. Also, many grocery stores are pretty crowded and it's easy to get in people's way if you stand and talk, especially in aisles.
u It is certainly possible to meet a potential dating candidate in a grocery store and you should always be open to the possibility of that happening. However, I think most people in grocery stores are "on a mission," are trying to finish their shopping as quick;y as possible, and not not very aware of those around them, so meeting someone there is a low probability event.
Anywhere humans meet is an acceptable place to meet people to date.
But y'know, be polite about it. Don't ask for someone's number in the bathroom (leave the bathroom and then ask), don't be a nuisance.
But I mean, if she likes dem apples, or he likes dem melons, then go ham.
Yes, and in fact, anywhere you can meet someone in person is better than anything online.
Not for much longer. With the increased curbside pick up and delivery options being advertised. They even have "dark stores" that only operates in pick up and deliver. I think we are in a transitional social-relationship phase and we are dealing with the worst aspects of both the new and the old at the same time.
To understand what I'm saying you need to know the "third place". First place is home. Second would be school or work. The third place is where you really open up for your question meeting new people. The mall would be a classic example. Let's say 20ish years ago, a grocery store would be a weaker example but now the only option available with malls being a joke and the soda jerk or disco being dead.
The bar and club drinking scene is just as lively as ever but the age limits and the wanted social experience is not for every one in that scene. There needs to be more places to cater people's needs.
Using newer technology like online orders has bleed the mall markets dry over the years and is going for the grocery market in the foreseeable future. I think local markets need to completely lean on this absent socializing space that has been created by getting the stuff you need and want online. The larger market needs to lean on giving people more time. Let a whole grocery store be a giant vending.
This is why i say we are in an awkward transition dealing with the worst. Grocery stores are not fully automated and local market "third places" are disappointing.
If and when I go to the store, regardless of whether it is a grocery store or a mall, I go with a predefined goal in mind and that is to buy food for my stomach and not to try to get laid. The only things that are laid that I would buy are the eggs but that is about it.
I don't want to be distracted by horny guys attempting to pick up and hit on every female aged 16+ because they don't have their hormones under control.
If I was into dating, then I would go to a pick up bar for that specific purpose and not attempt to hit on others in a store, on a bus or anywhere else.
I remember a time when it was considered a very good place to meet. There were even grocery stores that had singles night.
If I was in the market, I'd certainly be keeping my eye out at the grocery store. I know faster ways, but I wouldn't write off grocery stores, or other stores for that matter.
I had this experience last week. There was this girl and we kept showing up in the same aisle together. Sometimes she'd show up when I was there, sometimes I'd show up when she was there. It went like that throughout the entire store, from one end to the other. I thought about making a joke about it but decided against it because, despite me noticing her, I don't think she noticed me and I didn't want to come off as weird. Plus, I was a little self-conscious that she might think I was stalking her even though it was all just random coincidence.
But to answer your question, I don't think there are viable places to meet people for dating. There are just places and opportunities. Some places may present more opportunities than others. But there are opportunities everywhere as long as you know how to approach them and capitalize off of them.
But you have to remember that your cart tells your story. If you meet someone and all they have in their basket is K-cups, cheap beer, TV Dinners and condoms, it may not reflect well on you.
Same can be said for the all Kale cart with almond milk.
Why not tho, anywhere is okay as long as you're enjoying each others company. (Well as long as its not on the graveyard, hospital, morgue, police station etc.) Sometimes the goods you buy along with how well you do with your budget will reveal more than you could let on. Besides, if you happen to meet a guy buying groceries specifically at the produce section, it means he knew a few tricks in the kitchen. And that will tell you a lot about his character.
Why not. It's where my cousin met her husband and they are happily married for something like 5 years now with a beutiful daughter.
I think it might even be one of the best places to meet people for dating.
If you meet in a club or something, you know how the person likes to distract themself from life.
If you meet in the grocery store, then you know how the person actually lives their life.
Grocery stores are in the center of most people's every day lives. So if you meet a dating partner there, then you are looking for someone to share your life, not just your bed.
You could meet your next S/O anywhere, but I don't think the grocery store is the best place. Customers are probably going to be in shopping mode and will be more likely to reject you. And it's creepy to ask an employee because their kinda a stuck there and they have to be nice to you.
My 2 cents, girls will make rules for the betas and bend rules for the alphas.
She will hook up with him at church, in the middle of a sermon. If you are a Chad or Tyrone..
I mean I personally have never thought of stirring up a conversation with someone at like the produce area when I was single. I mean I can't imagine what convocations would arise?
Girl: oh hey... I see that you're buying apples. Trying to avoid the doctor are we?
... yeah no, I rather not lol
Yes. You can ask anyone their expert opinion on anything. People love questions where they can appear smart or knowledgeable. You let them tell you why Ragu isn't as good as Prego and presto! You're eating pesto al fresco in Modesto
When we were still dating, my now-husband & I actually planned to cook dinner together in one of our dates. So, we started out date in the grocery where we shopped for our dinner ingredients together. He surprised with his vast knowledge of food, cooking, barbecuing & bartending. He actually took over my kitchen that night & wooed me, my dog & my cat with his cooking, his stories, his wit & humor and his wonderful way of treating me besides his incredible good looks.
Not any better than any other public place. It's not about the location, it's about having your shit together, having some game, and being open to dialog. In other words, keep your radar on. :)
It's as good of a place as any. At least you can look in someone's cart and find out how healthy they eat. People pick up people in bars, where most people go to have drinks. Not exactly a health marker.
You can meet anyone anywhere and it really depends on your personalities. I personally don't mind going to the grocery store for a date because my hometown was created as a retirement town and there isn't a lot one can do for dates. We would have to travel close to an hour to get to other towns that have a lot more stuff to do.
