London: 8.2m inhabitants....how many singles? half of the population between 20 and 50....So what is the deal?What's with the 8.2m?
I am the first to agree that it is very hard to meet anyone here: of course you can go out and make sure you won't spend the night on your own. Online dating? Try it out!Might work fine for you, but be ready to be judged in the harshest way...your picture does it all in the beginning. If you watched "The Social Network" you definitely know what I am talking about as you may remember what game brought Facebook to life (left or right?). I have friends who met online and are still happily together: so who knows?
On the other side I keep on hearing about weddings lately: my high school mates are not wasting their time. I remember gossiping about that hot guy in school and his super "perfect-body-looking" girlfriend who had it all, well, turned out that the guy just became dad and the hottie turns out to be the perfect housewives. After all ending up marrying your teenage love is probably a secure way to a lasting relationship (not much comparison available). Then there is the "friend" thingy: one day you realize you got a crush on your mate...yes I don't personally believe in love at first sight and again two of my friends got married this year with their best mates. It is very tricky though: how not to scare your friend off in case he's not into you? what if a girlfriend is around? be prepared to give up your friendship if you feel like revealing your feelings, which is not necessarily bad: how worse would it be to hang out with someone you like knowing you will never tell them?
So how and where to meet your prince charming? I would give up clubs and bars: the dude telling you that his mate fancies you but is too shy to come over is a no go for me, as is the guy who comes over telling that he thinks you're cute...really? Or even worse, the one whispering god knows what in your ear with the fresh breath of the few pints he got to enjoy a few minutes before (he won't even remember you the next day).
Result: very difficult mission. Trust your instincts and count on your friends for networking;) And maybe stop trying analysing too much....you may be wrong!
