Have you tried online dating? Match, eharmony, that sort of thing? Seems a popular route.

I tried match for a while, but I read an article that 98% of their profiles are inactive
and they massage their stats in some very dodgy ways. OKCupid for a bit, not much joy there either. At least with speed dating they have to acknowledge your existence if only for 4 minutes. :(

What about getting some dosh together and spending £4-5k on one of the 'relationship headhunters'?
Apparently they have a good success rate and if having a serious relationship is that important to you it could be well worth the investment.

*boggles*
That might have to wait until I prove incompetent and get promoted to management.

Haha. I always liked the phrase,
Promoted to the level of your incompetence

I read that 90% of the women on there are prostitutes who can't afford to eat

Plenty of fish?
Gays have Grindr but that's mainly for hooking up but I met my guy on there and we've been together a year nearly.

Stranger things have happened.

you also get young lasses looking for gay best friends, as if they're some kind of fashion item

It's not my area of expertise, obviously,
but I always thought grindr was for 'trade'
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 9 Oct 2013, 21:00, Reply)

Mainly but there are some genuine guys looking for more
Exhibit 1 and 2 being my fella :)

I aint on them anymore

There's plenty of websites out there for the straight slags as well.
Things like 'secret assignations' or 'quick hook ups' or something.

Again, not really my area of expertise. At my age I'm happier with a nice cup of tea.

I think these sites are just real life but speeded up.
Whichever way you go about it you need a massive dose of luck to find the right one.
