how to meet and get to know guys (outside of school)?

I keep seeing films or reading books (and I know this might be unrealistic) where the girl meets this guy somewhere, he's really amazing, and they just hang out and flirt and you know they're going to end up together. Even if they don't love each other, they do really like each other.
I've just come out of this 'relationship' with this guy that has been going on for ages. Thing is, we actually split up in december, but it's been carrying on till now. He still really likes me and I can't say I don't have ANY feelings for him, but I'm pretty sure I'm ready to move on now.
And I really want that kind of relationship I described at first (to give some examples, Robbie and Georgia in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, Ian and Daphne in What a Girl Wants etc.)
Thing is, it's really hard to meet guys. I usually get into relationships through friends, y'know, they'll just be part of the group I hang out with and we'll end up together.
Even if you do see a hot guy, it's not exactly easy to get to know them if they're just passing you in the street.
I don't like anyone at my school so that's pretty unlikely, and besides I like guys older than me and seeing as I'll be in the oldest year at school, it's unlikely I'll find anyone.
So where can I go, and what should I do to meet someone?

Well, I usually go to the movie theater or the mall by myself. If you're with a large group of friends, some guys feel intimidated to come up to you. But if you're alone, they're more likely to. Also, if a guy doesn't seem to notice you, don't feel bad. He probably is already taken or something. I don't usually go up to guys for fear of they are already taken ha ha call me a chicken :b One time, I went to a scary movie all by myself, and there was a group of older boys in there and they asked me to come sit with them because I was alone and I might get scared :) ha ha so if you go to a movie by yourself, make sure it's scary because older guys will be in the theater :) most teenage guys like scary movies. So, that was a tad long lol sorry! But yeah, Goodluck! [ Hitoast's advice column | Ask Hitoast A Question ]
