Re: That credit thing......

Didn't know that? Is that a recent change?

Re: Dating in the USA and differences to the UK?

I enjoyed dating a lot here in LA. I met my now-girlfiend, who I currently live with, on an online dating site.

Re: Has anyone made the move on their own?

In answer to the OP's question... I came here on my own close to a year ago, didn't know anyone at all in the area.
