Dating In London Can Be Difficult by Dalai(op):
I am a 27 year old male living and working in London. Many of my friends back home in Nigeria are now married. I desire something as such as well, but the issue is that, it is pretty difficult - if not near impossible - to meet the type of person I will love to date and probably go on to settle down with, here in London. The type of person - career focused, family aware, strong Nigerian roots- but not stereotyped, religious- but not crazy about it, desires the basic fun things in life like travelling, salsa, adventure - is almost non-existing here in London. I do socialize a lot, and it drives me nuts that you only ever meet a Nigerian lady once in every 20 or 30 social outings. I know in the UK, there is a tendency for people to withdraw and live a convenient but antisocial 9-5 lifestyle. Which brings me to the crux of my entire rant, two questions for UK folks:

1) What is your experience with meeting and dating other Nigerians in the UK
2)How best does one improve his chances of meeting and dating other Nigerians in the UK

which part of london do you dwell?
dating in london is the easiest activity i know although i agree you may not necessarily get what you require cos some of the available dates are damaged goods.

to meet & date nigerian chics....you would have to spread your tentacles. target social events. be open to your friends, colleagues & acquaintances. somebody usually knows someone that needs a boyfriend.

goodluck, bro....

cheers bro.

I live in the London suburbs but work in central. The problem i think i have is that my Nigerian circle of friends is pretty thin, and that is putting it mildly. Most of my friends are either current colleagues from work or friends of colleagues. I am looking into improving this going forward, but i am not too sure on the best way to go about things.

What are examples of some of the social events that you will recommend in this case? or how best can i go by finding them?

start with the few friends you have.
there are small get-togethers every now & then. in another few months, there would be loads of BBQ parties - a lot of single chics tend to patrol this kind of events.

•wedding receptions
•churches
•general get-together parties
•family/friend link-up

I meant anyone arguing with you is like praying and fasting for a one month corpse to rise again. He or she is wasting her time when there are other productive things to read on nl and I don't need gym for now. I'm not fat grin

Nigerian girls hardly socialize in the UK, so I am not surprised at all by your dilemma. Like someone said, networking is your best bet. If you are a christian, attend local RCCG churches, you should also consider the bi-annual festival of life event. That said, you may need to lower your expectations a little.
