Take up stitching! I have never had my stitching out in the vicinity of the opposite sex when one or more fellers hasn't been fascinated. It's a great conversation-starter and ice-breaker. Once, on a flight from California to Paris, I taught the sweetest young man how to make French knots.
My DH thinks it's very funny, but he knows that should he leave this mortal coil first and his bereaved widow is in need of a gentleman's companionship, all she needs to do is pack her stitching down to the local coffee shop.
Given that most stitchers are women, I might imagine that a guy in a crowd of gals might have even a greater opportunity...the phrase "in high clover" comes to mind.
I wonder, has anybody ever met or dated someone they met over stitching?
