Dating in another land

In a land with a melting pot of people you would think that it would be easy to find a man especially with a ratio of six men to one woman. There are men of all types and varieties for our delectable fancy, and if you choose not to be picky you can have a guy a night. But what do you do when you have morals, respect for yourself and are not stupidly stupid?

There are many issues we have to contend with when dating in this age of post SATC education. To be living here alone away from family and friends, means that I have to be independent and strong but it also puts a greater emphasis on the loneliness that is felt inside and the need to have someone in your life to share this strange city with.

The city is a transition city for many people. Friends come and go back to their land of origin, a new land or heaven/hell via the main highway. So you meet people who might be perfect and on the same wavelength, but don't want to commit due to the fear that they may leave at any time or that there are other women around the corner out there who are less intelligent but "easier" to date.

I've dated, I've loved and I am now at the stage in my life when I don't want to date someone new every month listen to them spout garbage classic such as "I don't want a relationship right now" or "it's not you it's me (they are usually right on that one") or whatever else they might come up with from FHM. I just want to have someone to snuggle up to after a long day, someone I can relate to, eat and drink with, laugh with and of course have copious amounts of naked time with but it seems to be a struggle to find that guy.

There seem to be more taxi lights on in this town, but like the taxis, the guys never stop. They just keep on moving.
