Remember that we are the largest free online dating service, so you will never have to pay a dime to meet your soulmate. What wording do you type into the search engine to be as specific as possible? I have a friend who was from Ohio here originally. She met a British man on a forum. Well lucky her, she got it. Thanks in advance for your responses. Lots of people get it into their heads that this or that nationality is naturally superior or more desirable. Some guys think that all Oriental women are naturally subservient, and will be ever obsequious and cooperative. Guys used to think that all Swedish gals were sexually wild, especially if he were looking for threesomes, and purely casual encounters. Anyway, I have no idea how to look for any of the many fantasies people develop. I do know, though, that if there is a market for it, someone will set up a dating site specifically tailored to bring each entity together, even if it's people who are determined to marry an armadillo. I searched in Google for American looking for British dates, and got pages of hits. Sorry, I just don't get it! And often or not they've got children. I've personally been contacted by five American women who think they want to come over and meet me with a view to hopefully moving over permanently. At first I was flattered, but now I find it all a bit strange and as I said, creepy. The USA is a massive country - that doesn't mean it's citizens have to stay, but women searching for men in the UK? I can't help thinking they've got a very stereotypical view of life in Britain and it's inhabitants! And a complete NO,NO as far as I'm concerned. Why in the heck would it be pathetic to get involved with people not in our own country? I would say that is a rather pathetic way of thinking. Yes, your friend is quite lucky. I've always said I would like my kids to have British accents. If he is willing to fly to meet me or send me a ticket to meet him then I'd entertain it. It's not like I'm LOOKING for it but sure I'm open to relocating. My ex-husband is Lebanese. I was in Lebanon for five months and we considered moving there and I'd have had no problem with it but in the end we opted not to relocate. Granted, it is often not practical. Of course, you also have to remain cognizant of the fact that some people will use you for their own purposes in regard to immigration. All the people I know are pretty happy with American girls. I know if I asked this question to my friends if they would have a choice they would choose the mail order option and find a Svetlana. Why try to get to know someone romantically who lives so far away I don't get it. Yes it could in fact be very dangerous. I would not do it. I did meet someone ne time who lived in another country. I ended it as it was just too too much, too much time apart, too much travelling. Different countries, different laws. Many Americans are quite myopic when then they consider career, education, relationships, etc. It's a big world. However, my advice is to take a month and go live in the UK and join POF or some equivalent. Avoid London, Manchester, etc. My experience from in living in a few countries is that it's always easier to meet people when you are from 'somewhere else'.... There is a natural curiosity about where you are from and many people are quite genuine in wanting to make you feel welcome. I wouldn't recommend flying to the UK just to meet someone on POF or whatever. You could incorporate that into a longer stay. A trip for just a meeting might be disappointing. Have a holiday and enjoy the total experience. Not something I personally would feel the need to get tangled up in. Maybe call your local immigration office and see if they will sit down with you and spell out all the reasons you might want to rethink your plan, unless of course you're from a diplomatic family-things would go easier that way for you. They are looking to relocate after being retired from the forces and want residency in Australia and to start a new life as our economy is much more healthy. I used to chat with a few but I was told they were mostly scammers and to be wary. It can work out for some I guess. But we all have our dreams and they keep us going. I had a partner who was American and we would go back and forth from US to Australia and you will do anything for love. French men are sexy and romantic but unhygienic. British men are cold and inhibited. Americans are all loud and big bottomed. All Australians are bronzed, blonde and at the beach. Asian men are not well hung, have bad eyesight. And so on and so... But the more we travel the globe the less we adhere to those generalisations. I have never known of it at all. I think mostly it is people who want to escape for some reason and want residency elsewhere or the grass is greener syndrome. I can understand people wanting to come to Australia. We are welfare heaven and we have mostly a good climate and a free way of life. If someone wanted to meet me due to the fact that I now live in the USA, I'd question their motives. PS If the kids are born in Britain, they don't have an accent LOL duh. Personally, I only date greenland eskimo women, I just love a woman who'll chew the fat with me. For awhile I think I must have been on some list in France because I was being deluged with e-mails from french women. Pretty strange considering I don't speak french. It doesn't really matter to me personally, as long as the man who loved me really did that, loved me. I mean in laymen's terms: she gave up her life, family, career, friends to literally start a new life over. However, it was her choice because, she really wanted to move to the UK. If something's supposed to happen, it will. If not, it simply wasn't meant to be. Luckily though, I am a generally positive woman who has a busy, active life outside of the computer. I will say this in terms to my posting here, I have been to the UK several times myself. I'm due to fly back over at the end of this year. This will be my 13th time too, in Liverpool alone. I am really excited about this. Yet, I am not going to expect or anticipate anything obviously that will probably not be there. I know this sounds cynical but, I am just being realistic. I hope all of you here find whom you've been waiting for...
