I was directed here by a friend so I’m new and forgive me if I’m unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology. I’m about to break up with my long-term girlfriend. I’m going to take a break for about a year. When I do resume, I think I’ll just approach females when I’m out somewhere I would normally be - i.e. grocery store, gas station, etc. Since I have no interest in bars or joining any type of club, the seems like the most direct avenue and least waste of time. I just wanted to know if anyone my age has experience with this and if it’s harder or easier at this stage? Is there anything I should be aware of as far as pitfalls?

I live in a small town in the midwest but have to travel out further for most of what I do. I don’t really know anyone in the town so I’m not very worried about crossing wires.
