Where to find single people?

At this point I'm just looking for somebody IRL or at least close to where I live with whom I could start a relationship. Sometimes I go out with a couple of my friends and simply put: if I'd wanted sex, I'd have gotten it. Many thirsty women at some clubs xD That's not what I'm looking for, though. My problem is that most girls I ask out have had relationship troubles in the past. It's not just something they say to make me feel better about not dating me. Some of them have gone through traumatic events with exes and haven't dated in months or sometimes even years. So me question would be: where in real life are there actual places where it's almost certain you'll be able to find single people who are ready to date? I've already Googles that shit, but somehow nobody gets past the 'you'll meet somebody while doing grocaries' thing.

@Tamer I'm not really good at the online thing, I think... Then again, I had some positive responses on my 'sexy pic'. I don't know if you're familiar with Tinder? It goes through Facebook and honestly, I have a lot of old, sucky pictures. Might just look around a little bit, though. Thanks ^^

I don't meet girls irl anymore. I find a girl online that hopefully lives in the same country I do and take my time getting to know them. If there seems a good enough chance, I meet them in person and see if we really want more than friendship.

Every woman I've been with has had issues in the past, everything from being cheated on to being raped. Meh... I'd like to think I some how attract "misfit toys".XD My point is, it's almost impossible at some point, to find someone without something traumatic that has happened to them. The main thing is, are you willing to accept them for who they are, baggage and all? Also, believe it or not, women are everywhere once you get outside.;) Personally, I HATE clubs and know they are not conducive to anything serious. I'd suggest not worrying, find some extra activities outside and just enjoy life. You'd be surprised by who you attract from being positive. Although, I got lucky and found my current girlfriend online, I don't think that's for everyone. There are sites like POF or Okcupid and usually there are lots of locals, but also lots of flakes, liars and cheats...just like offline.XD You'll be fine, just stop worrying(Believe me, I understand it's easier to be happy alone than said.). In short, there's no one lucky place. Just live life, have fun and be happy.

Study groups, school clubs, sport activities , school meets.

If you are still in school, then school stuff. If you are already in the workforce, volunteering and something similar will help to expand your social circle. Tinder is good, but will uncover your deep deep evilness of judging people by the cover. Either way its a good tool. You can upload new pics to FB and change it later on Tinder, you can choose, its not like you are forced with to stay with the pics in you have in FB. Personally I found photography outings and volunteering work is great for meeting kind and nice people. Haven't done any for years now tho. But you get the gist of it.
