Lisa asks…
Can you give me some good advice on dating men in London?
Hi, I’m from America and am a student in London so will be living here for some time. I would like to go a few dates with guys but am a bit nervous about
the differences between our 2 countries. So any tips on finding a nice guy would be appreciated.
Lucy H answers:
Hi Lisa, Well one good bit of advice would be to see if there are any American guys in London who are looking for a date. Check out the dating sites online and specify you are looking for someone from the States. If you can’t find anyone, don’t worry, there are lots of nice English guys and there’s not much difference really.

What can I do in September in London, I’m thinking about meeting a guy
perhaps?

could email with when I get home.
Lucy H answers:
Hi Betty, Not easy if you’re only here for September, but go online now and plan ahead, join a dating site and tell the guys you speak to that you would like meet them at the beginning of September and will only be here for one month. You should get a load of guys interested.
Good luck!

Ruth asks…
dating services?
I was so bored that I decided to join an online dating site – a little sad, I know. Anyone else used these online dating sites – especially in London? If so how did it go, tell me everything!
Lucy H answers:
Hi Ruth, Not sad at all, really it’s the only way to meet up with a like minded guy these days. I love it. I’ve had some great dates, one or two lemons but mostly quite nice! Not met exactly the right one yet but I’m enjoyinh myself a lot. I’m in London too and am using Dating London, great site run by nice people, I’ve even written a few articles for them.
Thomas asks…
So what about London Dating services?
I tried online sites, dating agencies and speed dating. The speed dating was fun but useless as a way to get a long term date. Dating agencies slow and old fashioned and EXPENSIVE. So for me its online dating every time. What do you think?
Lucy H answers:
Hi Tomas, my experiences are the same as yours, speed dating was a waste of time, met some real lemons so I stick to online dating too. London can be a lonely place and since I’ve started online dating its got a whole lot more fun!
Daniel asks…
Where can I find the plenty of dates using online sites in London?
I’ve tried the a few of the big names and generally they weren’t very good. So what do you recommend for finding a date in London?
Lucy H answers:
Listen to me Daniel, get yourself online now and join up at Dating London, it’s geat site and run b y friendly people, I’ve found some great dates and I’ll bet you do too!

Dating in London – Hold on Tight!

If you have the idea that online dating is a lazy way to date, you’re in for a shock! You need to realise that the online part is only a small part of the whole dating thing. You can’t just go online and stay there, you have at some time to log off, close down the PC and get out on those dates! You’ll be doing that in person, no username, no password, it will be you, the real you. And you had better be ready, cause if you are dating in London using DatingLondon101, the dates are going to come thick and fast.
You can quickly have three 2nd dates from guys/girls who you don’t really fancy and 2 more from people who you fancy like mad. So you’ve got some planning to do. Before starting to use online dating you may have been definitely in the dating slow lane and now you’re going to be switched at breakneck speed into the fast lane! Sex and the city isn’t even in it compared to the situation you may soon find yourself in.
As it is going to be hectic you need to take a life check, are you definitely over the last relationship? Have you stopped wearing your jimmy’s all night long from the moment you get in from work to next morning’s shower, have you stopped listening to James Blunt, have you stopped buying in industrial supplies of Kleenex and choccy bars. If you are sure, you can move on and get dating again, sign up at DatingLondon and begin that new exciting life of dating in London.
Dating in London? Tough Things You Should Know

This advice doesn’t just apply to people dating in London but to online daters everywhere. You need to get streetwise or you may get hurt (emotionally I mean)
1. He/she will probably not look like their photo, this is a fact of life, everyone tries to use the best pic they can of themselves. They may just look better if you’re lucky!
2. You have 10 people who have listed you as favourite, fact is that the one you hoped may call you is the one who doesn’t! Get over it and reply to the next best.
3. A lot of people fall in love with the emails sent to them and think that is the real person. Try NOT to fall in love until you meet the person who has sent all those lovely emails. You could fall instantly out of love!
4. If you think that after a lovely first date the other guy/girl is going to take their details down from the dating in London site, think again. They have paid for 3 months and will probably keep looking just in case someone better comes along. This again is the reality of online dating. Work hard at being the one he/she doesn’t want to lose.
5. Prepare yourself! You will meet some nutters, freaks and weirdoes!! It happens, just make sure you meet in a safe place and have an escape plan( a friend who will ring you after an hour where you can pretend she is your mother telling you that Aunt Edna is dying and to get home quick!) if the date is going well you can just act naturally and say you are having a lovely time.
6. You will click on people who don’t click back, who don’t answer your emails, move on and be glad it didn’t go further.
OK, this all seems a bit depressing but it’s just a reality check, none of it may happen to you but just be prepared. Do this and you will probably have a lovely time dating in London or anywhere else
