If you’re looking for new date ideas, check out the mall! While the mall may not be the first place you’d go to find a potential mate, your favorite store can be a good place to meet new people.

With summer sales going on across the country, there’s no better time to head to the mall to check out the low prices and local hotties:

For 20-somethings, check out stores like Buckle and Hollister, which have sales associates of both sexes. The cutie helping you find your size could be your next best-dressed date! Here’s a quick tip to get started: say you’re shopping for a family member of the opposite sex. It’s an opportunity to give them compliments, as well as check out their style.

To find someone who shares your interests, specialty stores are the place to go. Into hunting, fishing or other outdoor activities?  Check out places like Bass Pro Shop. If music is your thing, go to the nearest Best Buy or a local vinyl store! Whether it’s the person behind the counter, or someone shopping the rack next to you, there’s an easy opening for starting a conversation that could continue over coffee… or maybe even a date night!
