Want to meet girls? Here's a patented fool-proof method...
1. On a SATURDAY afternoon, visit your nearest Babies R Us store. The store will be crawling with single women buying baby-shower gifts for their married friends. Saturday will give you the best chance, because the highest density of baby shower shoppers is Saturdays.
2. Go to the girls clothing section for sizes 0-12 months.
3. Start shopping for little pink and red dresses. Take them off the rack. Hold them up. Look like you're comparing sizes and styles. Go from rack to rack.
4. Wait for all the "ooohs and aaaaahs" from the baby-shower shopping women. You'll hear "That's so sweet that a guy will shop for a little girl." You'll get smiles. Women will be telling their friends to "look at that sweet guy over there."
5. Ask their advice about styles of baby clothes for your neice, cousin's kid, friend's kid, whatever.
6. Strike up a conversation from there.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I have personally never used this method to pick up girls, as I discovered this secret while I was (and still am) happily married. But I have often shopped for my daughter and this is the exact reaction I always got. Always.
You're welcome.

^^ subtle. I like that idea.. I should try sometime. 
I can't believe it's only a day after and the OP is worrying about sex drive and clarification.As you say, she's told you several times she's not interested in a relationship with you... that doesn't need clarification.
As for the sex drive thing, well, give it another 5 or 6 minutes.

OP: There's a pill for that.
You do know that Antidepressants should not be a first choice to deal with things like this. When one takes antidepressants it comes at a price and they are not some happy pill. The price some one pays is they may loss the lows but they also loss the highs.. One will never get the same exited happiness while on them. They also have some pretty nasty side effects.
That being said I am not against antidepressants but they should not be the first choice to try to solve ones problems. I say this and yes I am on some antidepressants so I know first hand the side effects they give and it is not some choice that I came to lightly going on them again.
We have become an over medicated society. It seems like for every little problem it is take a pill instead of trying to do better things to fix the problem.
Yeah, but Viagra just gives you wood - I don't think it does anything for libido.
There's no shame with attaching some emotions to your sexual relationships; the downside is the OP feels just the way he does now, i.e. a broken heart hurts your sex drive.
It'll come back. It always does.
(Seriously, watch some porn and bang a couple out. Works wonders.)
You do know that jumping to conclusions is a no-no, right?
I was speaking specifically to a pill that should tackel the libido or viagra. It was tongue in cheek really. Antidepressants are terrible when taken in mass quantities over time. Now the one off here and there chased with some booze is Teh Excellant™.
i'm not sure what he means by "meet".
I can "meet" tons of girls on the beach, club, etc. To me, meet means at least both people use their vocal cords at least momentarily. A "get away from me" counts as conversation so I can say I met her.
or does he mean "meet" as in going up to someone and sparking a convo that leads to a date with active duty of keeping convo put on your shoulders.
i dont like babies r us, so I cant go in that store.
And how often do you get that?
He clearly meant this sort of 'meet'. You don't go to that sort of trouble just to say hi to a passer by and then forget about them. If you don't like babies r us, don't follow the advice. But come on, use some common sense
