10 Tips for Finding Love At Walmart
By Allie Churchill. Posted on Mar 6th 2013.

A new study says Walmart is the place to find love. Here's how to score
a date
at the megastore.

If you feel like your soulmate keeps passing you by, try shopping at
Walmart; a
surprising new study suggests he might be there!

According to the study of "missed connection" posts on Craigslist,
Walmart was
found to be the most popular place for people to find love. The findings
stretched across 15 states, as people thought they may have met their
future
spouse at a Walmart more than anywhere else.

We're thinking that the next time you rush in to pick up a few things at
the
megastore, slow down and take note of the potential dates shopping
alongside to
you - and you may even want to give that cute cashier a second glance too.

We've uncovered ten different ways categorized by department to help
you to
meet your match at Wal-Mart. And if you do find love in the aisles of
Wal-Mart,
whether it's shopping for patio furniture or rushing through checkout .
don't
worry, you can thank us with an invite to your retail-themed wedding.

1. The Store Entrance
In a mad five-minute dash at the front of the store, you've grabbed more
off the
shelves than you probably could handle. Now, you're wandering around
with your
arms full of groceries and a helpless look on your face, looking for a
cart or a
basket. You could ask an associate standing guard at the door to help
you . but
let's be real he a pair of strong, manly arms belonging to a
good-looking guy
would be extra helpful and probably preferable.

2. The Hair Salon
Next time you're in need of a haircut, stop by SmartStyle Family Hair
Salon in
Wal-Mart and while you're getting a touch-up to your luscious locks, ask
your
hairdresser if she's seen any cute, single guys stop in for a trim
lately. Who
knows? She might be able to play matchmaker for the two of you.

3. The Card Department
Say, you caught the smoldering gaze of a hot stranger while looking for
a cheap,
but cute anniversary card for your parents in the card section . how do
you know
if they're single or (sadly) taken? Slide up beside them and ask him,
"Do you
have a girlfriend? Would she think this is a cheesy card?" Hopefully,
the answer
is no. Otherwise, it may be time to head to the Home department.

4. The Home Department
You came into the department looking to buy a new coffee table . but
then you
realized you could use a new lamp, and that your rug was looking a
little ragged
lately . and, of course, you never have enough throw pillows. Before you
know
it, you hardly have enough room in your carriage for that coffee table.
Why not
ask the dashing looking stranger in the aisle next to you for a hand?

5. The Electronics Department
You know the big bin in the electronics department at Wal-Mart where you
can
rummage around for $5 DVD finds? Get digging. If you just so happen to
both grab
for the same DVD: Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus . well, that's
practically fate
(even if it's forced). You may share an unbridled passion for really
crappy,
D-list movies! And if you don't have any luck bumping arms at the $5
dollar bin,
don't worry. Meander over to other aisles in the department. You can ask
the guy
next to you whether you should go with Dell or HP for your new laptop.
Or why
not ask the cute, if not slightly geeky associate? (You have to admit, he's
looking pretty dapper in that blue shirt uniform.) If worse comes to
worse, you
can always pull out this gem: "You watch Game of Thrones? Me too! Have
you seen
the latest episode . ?" Hook, line, and sinker.

6. The Grocery
How do foodies find love? Shopping for groceries, most likely. You can
ask him
what brand of cereal he likes, what he thinks of the produce selection
today,
and if he knows how to bake a good batch of chocolate chip cookies
(while coyly
mentioning that yours would just melt in his mouth . hint, hint). Swap
recipes .
and, if you're lucky enough, you may end up swapping numbers.

7. The Pet Department
When you stop in for a new bag of treats for Spot, take note of the other
dog-lovers (and possible dates) shopping alongside to you. If he's
perusing in
the same section of the aisle as you, then chances are good that he's
shopping
for his dog too. You can approach him by asking which brand of treats
his pooch
likes and if all goes well, you can suggest a doggy play date, which is
really,
a badly disguised date for the two of you.

8. The Patio & Garden Department
Looking for the outdoorsy type? This is the part of the megastore you'll
want to
visit. At any given time of day, this department is swarming with guys.
So let
love bloom.

9. The Checkout
Why stand in line thumbing through pages of a celebrity tabloid magazine or
fiddling on your phone when you can strike up conversation? If anything,
you can
start off by both bemoaning over the wait, "Ughh, this line is taking
forever."

10. The Parking Lot (Or Anywhere Else in Walmart)
If all else fails, try this last resort: drop everything on the ground.
Yes, you
heard right: drop a bunch of stuff on your way to the lot. The only
catch is to
be strategic in your drop. Obviously, don't drop your goods in an abandoned
aisle (that's just stupid). When you go to reach for something on a high
shelf
and you "just happen to drop" something, make sure it just happens to
fall at a
cute guy's feet next to you. The more you drop, the more gentlemanly
guys will
likely drop to their knees to help you pick things up, meaning more
chances to
connect. Hey, it's worth a try, right?
