Hi there

Interesting post.

Its really strange, being single in London can be very hard.

I totally agree, pin. It is weird, you meet loads of people, either socialising, through friends, at work, or the gym etc, some of whom are single, and some are really nice people - but it's finding someone that you 'click' with, that seems so difficult. And when you think how many people there are in London, it just feels like looking for a needle in a hay stack...

Showmethemoney - I think it must be me too!

To the OP, any luck?

Reason I ask, is I'm sure there are many in the same boat as you (e.g. me!) and was wondering if there had been success.

Ive been single for 3.5 years, am 39, live near Milton Keynes, so if anyone fancies speed dating and is closeby then PM me! I'd love to go speed dating but all my friends are happily entwined!! Or I don't mind travelling to London.

Thanks everyone for your replies... I didn't expect actually to receive any!

I had tried the majority of suggestions i.e joining the gym (council), salsa, internet forums etc and yes I have met some good people...but no one I would see as a potential partner. London is the hardest place to meet anyone as every indiividual is 'caught up' in their little own world and so if you attempt to speak to anyone they think you're mad! I hail from Manchester where it seems a bit more friendlier and forthcoming so I just think in London...career and job comes first and then relationship after.
Also, I'm definetely not desperate...I don't sit in bars and eye up every bloke that walks in! Far from it...when I'm out I'm out to have a good time with friends and so meeting a bloke is a bonus. I don't see men as baby making machines either....I would like to establish a concrete relationship before bringing another little person in the world. I just need to be realistic as I'm not getting any younger so I just looking at my options.

Not all is doom and gloom mind you....I'm in contact with some 'lovely' chaps from the gumtree website. It's early days yet but if anything I'm made some friends.

Before I depart to pursue my quest (it is a quest heheh) I take on board all the safety advice about meeting men from the net. When I go on dates, I always meet in the day and in a public place making sure I do not drink too much alcohol!

P.S

I agree with the suggestion in having a dating site on this site...are you listening Martin!!!

If only I didn't look like a smacked !!!! :rotfl:

As unattractive as I am, I have never seen the attraction of internet dating.

I've always thought, when it's my time (again) it will be my time.

Just keep socialising, someone will turn up, I mean, even i've had 3 partners in my life, and i'm an ugly bloke in a world where women are more fussy than men.

Good Luck

I'm sure you're not that bad.

And I agree women are far too fussy nowadays.. me being one of them.

That's probably why I'm single!

I am..........well, I've had one interest in 12 years, and she turned out to be a psycho


I am fussy myself though......very very fussy, which doesn't help. I'm like a big girl :rotfl:

Still, I say if there is someone for you, which i'm sure there is, they'll turn up when you least expect them.

In the meantime, keep those eyes open!

I think you're right about the London thing. It's so hard to meet people, maybe there's too much choice.
