Attend a few cooking classes (check with Jack's Laughing Lemon) -- you're sure to meet a few young single women there. Besides, the cooking skills will come in handy when you invite a cutie home for a homecooked dinner (a cooking man is always sexy) and you'd never have to ask that awkward "your place or mine?"

Good luck, Dog.
I can cook a bit... I make a mean roast.

Buy yourself a year's supply of hand lotion and a palm-hair trimmer. After that, wiser, older and more cynical you'll just leave Switzerland and go elsewhere.
Another years supply?

Well... if you haven't met anybody in six months... what makes you think you will in the next 12?

Because i've busy as hell with work and haven't really had time to "settle" as i've been finding my feet etc. Ok i've had a few smooches and the odd minor dalliance here and there, but nothing more than club-fuelled fun. Gets dull after a while.

Maybe I should just hit Langstrasse...

Come out to some of the EF events, why not. I met my man at the Pie Shop.

Friend recommended exactly that. All the attendees turned out to be old retired men!

I guess most women who want to cook can already do so...

I've been in Zurich for 6 months now, and while I have no problems chatting to people on a night out, I haven't really "met" any one per se outside of work.
Welcome to Switzerland.

Apart from ex-pat groups, that was my situation for many, many years.

Re: Any good dating scene in Zurich?

I'll third the EF event suggestion.

You just get to meet people in a relaxed environment (apart from the pub quiz, where the atmosphere positively bristles with aggression and cold competition), make friends, get drunk with them, and sometimes get to sleep with them.

It's really quite nice.

The pies, cheese and beer are pretty nice, too.

Hehe the events do sound fun, and it would be good to get to know more people (and I say that obviously with no hint of sleaze). What's the general age range at the group shindigs?

Mainly late twenties - early forties, with a fair smattering of grown-ups, too.

It's the grown-ups who supply the cheese, beer, etiquette tips and Scouse humour, so we like them the best...
