i think the bar and club atmosphere is really not the best enviornment for someone that's looking for more than something for that night or week...if youre lucky, month. ha ha... that's just my expierence with those kinds of people.
i'd say a bookstore, or coffee shop... not like a starbucks but one where you can sit and enjoy the moment. those places may sound cliche but i think it draws a much more diverse crowd as compared with your typical bar scene...(and no offense to the people that enjoy that sort of thing). i work at a salon personally, and there's TONS of women here. men do actually come here, get their hair cut and walk out with a date at the end of the hour. i don't know if they plan that sort of thing, having already scoped out the situation... but it isn't a rare occurance. it's mostly the girls that work here that get asked out, but at times it's customers that wind up with the invite! i have recently met my man in class... so school has been my match maker along with simple luck of having the same class with him. however that doesn't look like an option for you. but you could join a gym or maybe a yoga, or kick boxing class... there's a lot of women that enjoy that on a daily basis.
that's about all the advice i could offer

good luck!!!
