TheBathWater Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 I live in a pretty small city - so small in fact that it is not uncommon for me to bump into several exes in the same day. The dating scene is nothing great. I am considering relocating somewhere that has three times as many people and is renowned for dating and relationships. It might take me a year or so after relocating to solidify my career the way I have it arranged now, so I'd be taking a hit for a little while but am confident I could pull it off. Has anyone ever relocated to a different city with the intention to find a partner? If so, was it worth it? Do you feel like you met more people or that it helped you to locate a great partner? Or did you feel that it was just the same situation in a new place?

Never relocated because of this, but I can relate to your problem. What I can say is that never do anything for anyone else other than yourself. If it's for work,passion, or educational purposes then go. If it's for a woman or anyone else, then think it through more.

I've been wanting to relocate there anyway, but the only thing that makes me hesitate now is that my business is really starting to boom where I am now and I'd basically have to start all over again in the new city. On the other hand, even being successful where I am now, I'm not sure where I am now is where I want to spend the rest of my life and so I'd hate to grow more here. If I'm going to make the move, sooner than later is probably the time.

Why not? 1

IMO, I'd stay, grow my business big enough that I'll be able to relocate, by opening a second location, etc. 1
Methodical Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I assume you have researched the area you plan to move to since you have a plan in place, right? Does it seem like a place where you could spend your life and be happy? There are situations, like work, that require ppl to move. But, if you make a move and find someone, and then try to lure them to your hometown, it might not work out in the long run. I have never moved in order to meet someone but I live in a populated area. In your shoes, running into several exes per day and having no SO, I'd probably move too. That said, the move would be for better career opportunities as well.

You aren't particularly happy where you are and want to grow your business and personal life. The world is your oyster if you aren't tied down, can afford to make a change and want to. Good Luck!
