@Lonehenge if you work in the city, you should be bumping into ladies on the tube, train, walking, bus, when you go out to get lunch......
If you work the same hours everyday and take the same route, then its likely that you see the same faces on your commute.

There is this lady I see several times a week on my way to work, She drives the same car as me. We drive in opposite directions and meet on the same stretch of road. She started flashing me and waving when she sees me and I wave back.
In short people can be friendly if you are friendly back.

How about making friends at work. Hope you are not one of those stuck up Nigerians "I can never speak to a fellow Nigerian at work" .....Just joking
But seriously many relationships start from networking....."a friend of a friend meet up"
Some of my naija colleagues at work we meet outside of work too. Just choose the sensible and decent ones.

Attend parties when invited even 40, 50, 60, 70th birthday parties. They may not be your thing but There may be just someone like you at the event sitting lonely and be happy to chat with someone her age.

Also attend all sorts of events and dont just stay at home. Do you know how many people attend the Festival of Life in London? Errm I didnt say go and toast o! just letting you know that you can make friends anywhere.

Most times a smile goes a long way. I also didn't say go and be smiling like mumu everywhere, but I am sure you know what I mean

Just that you said you dont want LDR . . . .cos I have plenty ladies looking for Mr Right & men looking for Miss Right on my radar.

Aim to make friends first and you will be surprised at what may happen next.

CoCoLav:
Such women don't really attend those events, unless you get lucky on a day her friends succeed in getting her out of her apartment. For her it's also work, sleep and eat.

You can try grocery stores though

Abeg add me to your radar of the on looker
Iyamu fainding a Master right ooo
Hold me by your left hand biko

Lonehenge:



Lots of good stuff in your post. I think London is the quintessential single man's hell. I find socializing while on commute to be practically impossible. On a typical weekday morning, I am stuck in a packed train on my way to work -usually with my face stuffed right next to a stranger's armpit, while the other stranger next to you is either drinking hot coffee or has a really annoying perfume. Everyone else on the tube just have the usual blank sad face - In addition, i have found that the odds of meeting a single naija chic in these places are pretty low - or perhaps I am just really unlucky?

You want all your toasters to come and kidnap me abi?

tearoses:


Which shoe?
Fine babe like you
Take your car to a petrol station and ask a nice looking man to help you open the bonnet so you can top up the windscreen wash
Or buy a nice looking dog and walk it in the park

Lonehenge:



This is EXACTLY what i thought.

Might have a go at the grocery store idea, how bad could it be?

Siena:
Lonehenge, I would say you're limiting yourself, because you're specifically searching for Nigerian girls. I would just go with the flow, loves transcends all colour and races.

When I was single, I had a whale of a time, and I was mostly driving. You taking the train opens up more possibilities than if you were driving, as you're mixing with more people.

CoCoLav:


It can't be that bad. Starting a conversation while walking around the aisles isn't a bad idea, it's also a pretty relaxed environment.

Lonehenge:


Thanks Sienna. By the way, i really admire your passion for cars. I have seen a number of your posts on the auto section. Whereabouts in the UK are you?

London. But my work takes me all over the country.

Lonehenge:


I thought you were being cheeky when you suggested the grocery store. I really haven't thought of the situation where i actually leave home to shop erhm- for a relationship?..arghh! why does it really have to come down to that?!!

By the way, you've got a nice diary going.

jashar:
