Aye, the best thing to do is come to the EF drinks nights, it may prove quicker and more effective than any paid dating website.

And Hash, remember, Americans have feelings too. At least I think I remember reading that somewhere...
Oh, shush you....

But w/ the EF nights, we are nice people. Even people looking for friendship only can find luck there.

Yes they are not dating meetups by any stretch of the imagination, so I wouldn't want to give her that impression, but if you put a large group of people who speak the same language in a room then sometimes you get a bit of chemistry and nature takes its' course. They're the best chance of meeting someone in natural circumstances I think, as opposed to any contrived online dating setting.

Well... you'll be waiting at least.

I'm looking forward to the next EF drinks to be honest, i've only been back in the UK for a week and i'm already missing Zurich. I'm hoping the New Year weekend drinks will be epic.

Re: Any good dating scene in Zurich?

In terms of the male to female ratio, generally going out (including the Weekend Drinks), it's much easier for a woman to find a man, then the other way around. Maybe this will encourage more women to show up to the social nights.

But honestly, I don't approach these nights as a "let me find a man" place. I look at it as a "hey, these are interesting people who speak English" place. But as Rich said, sometimes people have luck and there is some chemistry. The forum has been good to people like DB and MN.

I was more referring to your frequent comments in the threads of EF meets etc, which sometimes seem a bit out of place considering you have never actually met any of us. I'm not interested in your personal life, trust me.

It's gotten nowhere since, well, PM'ing women who post on here would be weird, no? Female is a plus. American and professional, not so sure.
what's wrong with american and professional. and 'professional' what?

I spent about 20 seconds trying to figure out what a professional American is like, then I realized they'd stay in America except if they are in the military.

So, no American here is a professional American. (Says the American).

Eh...whatever.

Sounds like an interesting dating website though. www.professionalamerican.com (don't know if that's a real site or anything, so if you look, it's your own fault)

Re: Any good dating scene in Zurich?

Professional American means, she has a job and career aspirations and her salary is more than yours.

If you dont like any of her habits, then Tough! "Whats wrong with you dude, its the cool American thing"

On your first date and and probably thereafter, you woudl have to listen to how important she is in her Organisation and what excellent career prospects she has... and how difficult it is for an average Man to keep up with her...

Etc... etc... etc...

(Just kidding)
