You’re done with the nightlife scene, you hate big crowds, and you’re kind of at a stage where you just want to go about your daily life and casually “run into” someone. Here’s where you can do just that.

Shoe Rugs

Mobile shopping rugs are packed with office-going ladies after 5:30pm. Check out the entrance of the Silom Center parking lot on Silom Road. If you’re lucky, your shoulders might just become support for her to comfortably try on her heels.

Street-side DVD Shops

Like the shoe rugs, bootleg DVD stalls are great places to meet the movie-lovin’-over-worked-young-man. When your eye catches what movie he’s going for, take the plunge and grab the same film. “You love Transformers, too!” There’s a conversation waiting to be started.

Mac Store

Who? Creative dudes and dudettes who care more about their Mac accessories rather than getting their mack on! Where? Try the Emporium (Sukhumvit Soi 24). Amazing what bonding over Leopard and iPhone speakers can do to kickstart a relationship.

Villa Supermarkets

Take a little trip to the one at Sukhumvit Soi 33, fill that cart with things you want to be seen with and get noticed! Truffles and Champagne perhaps? (You can always pull an emergency exit and come back for the more-affordable-portobello and prosecco variety later).

J-Avenue

A Young(er), pretty, rich and calorie conscious crowd can be found lingering around the Au Bon Pain here with their Chicken Caesar Salad and whole-wheat sandwich.

True Cafe

Siam Paragon’s True Café—truly a wondrous place for someone who’s got nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon. When you’re sick of working on your living room couch with your boring ol’ coffee mug in hand, head on over there for some flavor—both coffee and cuties. Don’t forget your iPhone.

Driving Range

Hit the Tee Golf driving range (Sukhumvit Soi 40) where hittin’ a few balls around can get you miles! The key is to show that you’re having trouble with your form. With some serious eye contact and a few smiles, you might just land yourself a personal golf teacher.

Cooking Class

Most of the time, the men and women here are married and are only there because their spouse has threatened to throw them out unless they cook up a romantic meal or two. However, on a good day, you’ll find a few bachelors and bachelorettes who just have the flair for cooking! Talk about smokin’ hot!

Dance Class

Hit the Salsa Hacha Dance Studio and Café (Silom Soi 6) where you will find both men and women who choose to make a statement by strutting their stuff. Forget salsa—it’s bachata time! Think Antonia Banderas and the hot (bitchy chick) in Take the Lead. Ai Caramba!

Kinokuniya Isetan

Funky Japanese boys and girls who hide behind big books just to take quick sneak peaks at the surrounding scene. If you’re clever, you’ll pick the right section, run your fingers along the top edge of the books and meet them halfway! Ah! The good ol’ days of romancing in the library.
