Re: Back to the UK for a potential spouse or stay in Canada
You were happy enough to move away from this guy so why are you pining now? It dies sound as if you'll settle for him as you can't see yourself finding someone suitable in Van.
It could be the way I've read it of course.
Or you could settle and marry so you could have kids and then it doesn't happen.
Don't force it. Love is like a fart, if you have to force it, it's probably shit. Attrib Anon.

However the best bit of advice on this thread has been from you Bats "Love its like a fart!!" Bats that is perfect!! and hilarious!!
I have actually adpoted that philosophy now, i have decided that my life is here in Canada now, and with the exception of no significant other in it, is a better life than i had in the UK.
Bekiwoo its sounds as though you are also happier here than you were in UK, so.... just ride it out.... enjoy what you have, stick with whats best for your life!! There is still lots of time for you, and even for a child. Going back to the UK could end up like the "fart scenario", Im not mocking as i understand your predicament, I am there too.
Ive decided having a significant other in one's life is not the be all and end all, im enjoying what I have and not forcing the issue......like Bats says.

There is always the, you will find someone when your not expecting to saying as well, its what happened with me. I stopped looking, carried on with life and out of the blue met as close a perfect match as I could hope for.
Maybe there is some truth in that saying, who knows.

Up until her, I had never had any success in online dating, found it a waste of time and totally stopped looking.
If I sit down and look back over the last 10 years, even things that seemed bad at the time, turned out to be good things since if any of those things had not happened, I would not have been able to meet her, amazing sometimes the things that are connected and how even some small things in life can change your direction, just we don't always see it at the time its happening.

Then you pay and find the person is fixed up.
Or it's free for you to make contact but you have to pay to open a reply and they are rejecting you.
I had a bit of luck from one or two and a lot of luck
from one that was totally free on the website for Venue listings magazine!I met my wife on line but not a dating site.

Re: Back to the UK for a potential spouse or stay in Canada
Ive used it out here but mostly just tinder, which is really not good. There are a lot of dodgy attached/married men on their looking for 'discreet fun' - annoys me when someone is attached and potentially cheating, regardless of them being honest about it

I feel the same about it. Although this is how met the person in the UK but we became friends instead of a couple - about the only success story for me.

I know of Tinder, but luckily never had to experience it.
