(slightly)Bigger city-boy coming to Saskatoon interested to know where some good places are to meet -decent- girls.

Any suggestions?

Just like any other Canadian city, it's difficult to find a "decent" person to date. I live in the Greater Vancouver area and come from Winnipeg myself and I can tell you this: Decent girls come from middle-class families and hang out with other middle-class girls, often at each other's houses or at quiet restaurants. Happy hunting in Saskatoon.

Although I never thought about it, I think Eleanor's observation is quite right. Perhaps you should attend Sunday service at a local church while you are in Saskatoon. You might get lucky there.

Yes, church service is often a good place to look at potential partners. The people in the congregation will often share your demographic, education level, beliefs, spending habits, etc. Many young couples claim that they have met at church.

Places not to frequent would include pubs or bars. This is not because indecent girls hang out there but rather because girls go to such places to be with their girlfriends on a night out. It's a bit of a drag to have guys come up and try to take away our attention from our friends.

Seeing that it is summer, you might want to try rounding up a couple of friends and going camping at a lake. There are bound to be girls there who want to get away from it all too.

Hmm. Interesting enough that you guys mentioned churches. What if I'm not the churchgoing type? I used to go when I was younger when my dad was alive.

For sure right on that whole bar-scene. I don't do it in Winnipeg, so not exactly something I'm at risk of gravitating to elsewhere either.

I guess despite being smaller than Winnipeg, Saskatoon is still going to have the same rules in effect? Kind of a bummer, but I guess that's unavoidable.

Get involved with a group going to Regina for a Riders game and go to a Saskatoon Blades hockey game this fall. You can volunteer to help the War Vetrans association by doing the seniors gardening, they may have nice grandaughters.

Coolness. Some good suggestions, I'll certainly try nearly anything once I'm there.

Man, I hope church isn't the best place to meet women in this city. If so, I'm in trouble. What about the lax drinking and herbal laws y'all got up here? There's got to be some girls who are down to have a good time somewhere in a city this size, right?

Try signing up a membership at the local gym or the YMCA. People here are all very nice and friendly. You can basically meet your match anywhere - just don't act "needy for a girlfriend" and be friendly too. If you are at the right age group, you can get involved in the university and you'll meet a lot of people there. Just keep yourself busy, be friendly and keep an eye out and I am sure you'll have no problem meeting a nice girl. Goodluck. :)

Thanks for the tip but I am really not that concerned about meeting women. I have never had a problem before. I am, however, always looking for places to have a good time and meet new people in general. Also, does the YMCA have a nice gym? I am also looking for a place to continue my workouts and don't want to pay huge membership fees at an expensive gym.

You should consider joining an online site like SaskOnline.com www.saskonline.com I think that is the easiest way to meet people in Saskatoon.
