Default Single, divorced Brit male moving US to UK?

I belong to the American Expat board, so I thought I'd look around here. Very interesting -- same issues in reverse!

I joined the amexpat board because I was engaged to a Brit in Kent. I'd moved half my things over and was applying for my Fiancee's Visa when he got cold feet. Back to Square One. I still love British men and have renewed my search for another one.

It's such a pain doing the long distance dating thing, so I thought I'd try to find a Brit who was already here, but moving back in the near future. Maybe your company assignment was up or something. My ex raised the standard very high -- be forewarned!

So please look for my profile at www.match.com or www.loveandfriends.com under this same user name and, if you haven't been frightened off by my stringent requirements :scared: (or choked to death laughing while drinking your Tetley) send me an email.

(Or tell your British mates in the UK to have a look) Thanks!

I'm of the opinion if you try to hard to find love/a relationship, either you don't find it at all or you have a skewed view of yourself or prospects when you make too much effort.

However, if this is the way you want to go, you may want to check out meetup.com. Despite the name, it's not a singles club or a place to hook up in the romantic sense. There's probably a British Expats group in your area. Please check.

Me, I'm a Brit happily married to an American (3 years and counting) ...

Default Sponge?

Very interesting. I'm sure when you told people you were moving to the US and/or marrying an American, they thought the same thing about you.

Actually no. When I told people I was marrying an American they thought I was crazy. Especially when I tell people how much I have spent to be here.

You could say I'm more like a funnel than a sponge
