Any good dating scene in Zurich?

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. So, being young free and single I wouldn't mind taking my first ever stab at something like speed dating or normal dating and see what happens. I'm getting a bit bored of the whole monk-like singledom thing at the moment.

So... anyone got any experience or feedback with this sort of thing in Zurich?

Re: Any good dating scene in Zurich?

Meeting the "real" people here can be quite an adventure.

I would say just chat them up

or

post something in www.ronorp.net.

No, Burger King is better- I'll let you wear the crown if I can have the whopper (maybe a double?).

No, because at Burger King you get it "the way you like it".

I can't promise that I can present you with any sort of "whopper" (alas, I am what God made me) but a double could definately be on the cards.

Ok amusing innuendo and banter aside, anone that can answer seriously to prevent this thread being locked would be great.

Re: Any good dating scene in Zurich?

there's plenty of dating websites in Switzerland and plenty of chicks available on them. Depending on how good your German is, it could be a valuable tool.


Hint: Go for the German girls, they seem to be much more forward and open than their swiss counterparts.

Re: Any good dating scene in Zurich?

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.

Not as good as in Fribourg, that's for sure.





























Not!

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.
