I'm based in London and am looking to meet a woman who lives nearby. I'm sure this doesn't come as shocking news to you.
If you've not used an internet dating site yourself, the way most of them work is to assume you're looking for someone who lives near you, and will by default display such people as suggestions, which seems a fair assumption. This is of course something you can change if you so desire.
I recently received a message from a woman who lives in Newcastle, which was nice, but we both live in large enough places to (in theory) meet someone who lives nearby. So it made me wonder whether she'd been turned down by everyone in Newcastle.
But at least she was honest about where she lives. On occasion, while looking at the profiles of women who've listed themselves as living in London, I'll have got most of the way through reading about her, and then, buried at the bottom of her profile will be something like this:
"I currently live in Montreal, but will be moving to London in 3 months."
Fair dos, it's not easy meeting people in this fair city, but to start looking for a boyfriend EVEN BEFORE YOU'VE MADE A PHYSICAL EFFORT (and inevitably discovered that no one likes talking to strangers here), reeks of desperation. At least give it a crack first, love.
