Should I Relocate For Dating? Will Moving Help My Dating Life?
This is a common question and observation I hear from clients struggling with dating at home and considering relocation to improve dating prospects. I often notice that they will relocate if they don’t meet anyone in ‘x’ months.
It’s not just people considering relocating from San Francisco to Los Angeles or New York, but people considering moves abroad or from the suburbs to the city. Similarly, it’s not just men complaining about gender ratios in Silicon Valley or women in NYC complaining about competition or dealing with Peter Pans locally.
Some people make drastic decisions to pack up and leave but the data or observations they base this on is not always sound or accurate. Before considering relocating, one should consider things like lifestyle, starting over with social circles, employment and costs.
