Thanks for the two-step plan! It's easier said than done. I agree with going to networking events. Good point. If I go to at least one a week I should be able to build a good network here (I hope). I want to avoid online dating to meet people. It feels very impersonal and must be awkward. Having lived/worked in London, UK, I am aware that metropolitan cities are full of singles - it's very counterintuitive.

I suspect it's not that counter-intuitive.

You are more likely to be single when young, you are more able to move to where the jobs are when single, therefore cities will attract young single people looking for work. As they couple up and have kids the attractions of larger house and garden increases and we old folk move out.

Good luck on the business and personal sides
