As someone who have lived now in six major cities of the world I would like to share my two cents on dating in different places. Each time I have relocated to a new city (except for the most recent move) I believed that my dating experience would be different. It never was.
I have heard so many times people making comments about how difficult it is to date inLos Angeles. The truth is, when I lived inSan Francisco, it was even harder. The difference is, you hear different excuses and explanations why it is so difficult. But excuses are still excuses. Let me tell you something: if you are not happy with your love life where you are and if you are thinking about moving somewhere else in hopes that it will change, you are in for a big disappointment. You cannot really run away from who you are, no matter where you go. And you can certainly never run away from your own feelings.
Your love life and your dating experience are direct reflection of how you are feeling on the inside. If you feel lost and confused, or if your intent is to get away from reality, you will attract people who are in the same boat as you are. It is not uncommon to feel lonely in anew citywhere you don’t know anybody, so you have to be really careful not to fall for someone inappropriate just because they seem nice enough at first.
If you have to move to anew cityby yourself, the most loving thing you can do is to get to know yourself. Believe it or not, new cities are perfect for that. As you get to know the city, the feel of it, the vibes of the new neighborhood, you are actually out on a date with the city. New cities are perfect for taking yourself out on a date. As you get to know this new restaurant, museum, park or club, you are actually getting to know yourself, who you are and what you like. Taking this approach can actually create quite an exciting experience.
