I am an educated, American woman who longs to marry again one day & live overseas in the UK or Europe in general. I was raised in Canada & in an international household, so from a young age I have loved & learned all I could of other cultures. While I love America, my heart is homesick for places I've not been yet. How can I find someone to marry who actually WANTS to stay in THEIR country & not marry to come to America? There are so many scams out there & I've never on-line dated before. Please send advice

Might be a good idea to figure out where you want to live.
Then, go settle in there and look for a dude.

pick a place you want to live and visit. : ) you may even find love there.

This is getting redundant but you need to settle first and then look around. If you have a preferences for certain types of politics, terrain, or nationality , go there. The fishing will be better and you surroundings will be ... surrounding you.

It is not quiet as easy as it sounds,
Long distance relationshiops are emotionally draining.

so yep I have to agree with everyone else, work out where you want to go and settle, as you are sort of just going to end up randomly whereever this person lives.

Or just mingle on here and if you meet someone great, but chances are it is not going to be where you want to be.

Relax and just enjoy yourself, find the right man and then settle somewhere

you can always come to Texas....we are a country of our own

how can you be "homesick" for a place youve never been?

sounds more like your fed up with where you are and looking for a free ride out of there...

Somewhere warm with not much of snow, and away from earthquake-prone areas and nuclear reactors.
Also steer clear of tornado alleys and hurricane paths and places where there are tsunamis and mudslides. Check the local crime-rate and the GDP of the country and avoid dictatorial monarchys prone to be bombed in a future date by USA or UN. Make sure there is some sort of a democracy kinda thing going on and women are treated as humans and not slaves or animals.
Once you find that spot, start hitting on the locals, and get the guy who showers the most.

its a very difficult process, take it from someone who married a brit while in Britain


I would take the advice already offered. find a place that you can move to FIRST and then find someone once you have settled in

dont try to find the person before you are living there,,,,it can truly end in disaster,,,


by the way, from my experience, I havent found many brits in a rush to move to america,,,,most I met were pretty loyal and proud of their own homelands...

You cant just move to any country you want and live there. If you dont have the correct skills to bring to a country, the only real chance you have of being able to stay there legally is to marry somebody. There are ways and means of course, but its not straight-forward.

But either way i wouldnt advise looking for someone abroad online and get yourself into a difficult long distance relationship. They can work out(mine did!), but they generally fail.

I dont blame you though, The UK is so much a beter country than The US!

Or find the right guy thts ready to settle who is outgoing, spontaneous, and gots his head on his shoulders... (hint hint)!!

Move where you want to live. Get a nice place and an interesting work
environment. Then go out, have fun and meet people!

Sounds so logical & simple

I don't mean any disrespect to Texas dear, but my ex-husband lives there & while I love the vastness & beauty of Texas, I have no desire to return there

It's something that cannot be explained. Either you understand it or not. Truth be told, after 26 years in the States, I am very bored & ready to move. Figured it would be best to get a head start before I make the big leap :) It's out of curiosity I suppose. And nothing to run from. I happen to be free with no family ties except my Dad, who himself has also traveled around the world & encourages me to do so. It kinda runs in the family. Maybe it's the Portuguese in me :)

Thanks for the laughs! You hit the nail right on the head with your reply! lol Not only do I check the GDP & terrorist threat levels, but the FBI travel advisories as well. lol I'm not foolish in these areas, but WOW! You narrowed the world down to Kansas! But it's so boring, I need to leave at some point soon. The thing is, danger, risk, adventure, extreme situations & the occasional fear of danger & change....really IS what I'm looking for. I am very open to situations that would make the average person cringe, for to me, it is all an adventure. I one of my majors is in Cultural Anthropology to which I studied religions. My desire is to travel & perhaps write ethnographies after living with groups of people out of my normal comfort range. If there could be any such thing. I can never seem to find an American man who wants to travel & live abroad, hence the reason I am looking abroad. Few situations deter me, so I say "Bring it on!"

Calling this one as I see it...

The linguistics scream "DUDE"

The vocabulary is anything but American...but, still well educated in english linguistics....

My guess is Kenya or possibly Eygyptian or Syrian

Are you referring to me? lol I assure you I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. And while I have many friends from all over the continent of Africa, I am not from there. My mother lived in Durban & Pretoria South Africa though before she came back to the States, met my Dad from Ogden, Utah and had me ut you do flatter me.....thanks for the compliment!
