You have asked this before. There is no one right way. Forcing it is the wrong way.

I haven't dated a ton in my life but I have met them in various ways:

1. Through a friend, this was the most often way
2. online, out of dozens of women I met I only dated one and it was a disaster
3. work, bad idea on my part
4. I met my ex-wife at a freaking drive through at a local burger place
