Or have you put your life on hold until you are in that magical relationship?There are now an estimated 3 million single people in London alone and the numbers must be proportionately just as high in other major cities around the world. A lot of these single people are striving to get into a relationship. But just how do you lead a happy life as a single person?

The concept of ‘Age’ is mysterious to me. Other cultures seem to ‘respect their elders’, seek advice and guidance from them and demonstrate loyalty and pride for the older members of their families and communities. Only in our American culture is age considered
1) a condition to be avoided,
2) an inevitability to be hidden and
3) evidence of decline.

Many man and women they could not date because they are below average looks., or they are too picky about their potential partner looks. Are you still looking for the perfect girl, or guy which probably wont ever happen. It comes as an obsession for men if they are below average height or become bald early. But it comes as a surprise that women do not weight looks as men do.

Dong Ngo @ Crave
(In small villages like the one in Ha Nam where I was born, dating hasn’t changed much in the past 50 years. Kids are sort of matched up at an early age, oftentimes jokingly, by relatives or friends. When they grow up, if neither goes away to find a job elsewhere, chances are they will marry each other.)
But it doesn’t matter how a relationship here starts; it seems all of them go through something I’d call the “@ phase of love,” in which the courtship continues via cell phone texts and Yahoo instant messaging. Unlike in the States, where couples tend to move in together, people in Vietnam generally only live together once married. In between, they rely on cell phones and the Internet to stay close.
According to Dong Ngo if you are going to be in a relationship in Vietnam there are two things you have to learn.
Jenna Davis @ The Arizona Daily Star:
You’ve cruised North Fourth Avenue on Thursday nights. You’ve perused online matchmaking sites. You’ve even succumbed to blind dates. So why can’t you find love?
The problem with these dating gimmicks is that the more forced the situation, the less likely you are to meet somebody with whom you’re compatible. That’s according to Carolyn Hax, a Washington Post columnist whose relationship advice appears daily in the Star. So what should a single guy or gal in the Old Pueblo do?
Joyce Rudolph @ The Burbank Leader:
Like cupid with his bow and arrow, the owner of a two-year-old speed-dating company hopes to hit a bull’s-eye with a British approach to introducing singles in the Glendale area.
Anoush Lauren, owner of Beverly Hills-based SpeedLA Dating, introduced her unique first-date experience to Glendale on Tuesday night at Katsuya in the Americana at Brand.
Lauren started the business in London, where she was born and raised.
“When I moved here two years ago, I hired all English girls to help me,” she said. “I wanted to bring the English, fun version of speed dating here. I wanted to make it more like a chic party or get-together.”
Now if we can just get the English version of The Office
