You want to meet women? Dance classes - ballroom, tango, salsa, any partnered dances. If you are bad, you can joke and have a good attitude about it, which is attractive. If you are good, you are basically dipped in invisible chocolate. There are lots of women who love to dance and bemoan their lack of anyone to go with.
You get a lot of people telling you to listen more than you talk. That advice needs a little refinement. A lot of guys tell you to listen but they themselves never actually listen to the woman they are with, they just let her talk which is totally different. If you are listening to what she's saying, really listening, then that should give you ideas you want to share or questions to consider, ideas and questions that you can then contribute to the conversation. If she is talking but you "don't know what to say," chances are you aren't really listening.
If the stuff she's talking about bores you, you have two options: redirect the conversation to something you think you would both find interesting (and again, if you don't have any ideas for that topic, you probably aren't really listening) or realize that you probably don't have anything in common with her and find someone else to meet.
Keep this in mind - she actually wants you to talk. If there is anything women love as much as talking, it's listening to other people talk. Where a lot of guys hit a big wall of conversational fail is that, once they start talking, they don't stop, even when she tries to get back in the conversation. She tries to say something and the guy just talks right over her. This happens alot, even in casual conversation.
Again, the trick is really listening, in this case, listening while you talk. Not to what she's saying verbal (do that too), but what she is saying with her body language. If she's leaning forward, looking at you, and nodding as you talk, she's listening and interested. If she's leaning forward but she's looking down and sort of back and forth, say, at her plate, then the ground, then her hands, then her glass, she's probably irritated. You probably just talked over her in conversation for the third or fourth time, or simply said something that offended her. If she's sitting back, that's generally a sign that she's about to give up on the conversation, either because she's been shut out of it or she's not into the topic. If she'd sitting back and looking all around at just about everything that isn't you, your conversation is pretty much dead. You might be able to reset it by starting to ask her questions about herself and her interests, but it's a long shot. If she's leaning back, looking all around, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, or maybe she pulls her coat or her purse onto her lap, she's putting a body language wall between you and her, and she wants to leave. Your date is over, whether you realize it or not.
Guys complain that women expect them to be psychic - we don't. It's just that a lot of things aren't communicated verbally, they are communicated in body language that is, quite frankly, so completely obvious to most women they wonder frequently at length at the apparent blindness of men. I think guys that are successful in striking up conversations with women don't have wonder-powers of charm or a pick-up line that works, they know how to read body language, and how to speak it too.
