Unless your
name happens to be Trump, Gates, Buffet, or one of
similar stature, the very concept of international
dating is probably alien to you. Not many people can
afford to hop on a Learjet (or their own private plane)
and fly off to India or Russia for a long romantic
weekend. And anyone who's keen on the idea of a
long-distance relationship--that is, one that crosses a
major body of water such as the Atlantic or
Pacific--might as well find a mate in Egypt, because he
or she is more than a bit in de Nile.
What about
world wide dating for those who don't actually plan
on traveling? Does such a thing even exist? Some would
argue that dating a foreign-born single who's moved to
the States constitutes international dating. This is
especially true if the person in question continues to
hold fast to his or her culture, including its rituals
and customs. For many, these barriers are challenging
enough without adding an ocean's distance to the mix.
Great
Dating... Right Here at Home
Find available men and women from more than 230
different countries--and without living in Manhattan or
traveling to the U.N. Whether you have a hankering for
Italians, Swedes, Nepalese, Libyans (they're terror
fighters now!), Balinese, what have you, you're in
luck. All seven continents (yes, there are Antarcticans)
are represented in the world of online dating.
Maybe
you've begun speaking a second or even third language
and want to find a conversation partner. This can be a
great segue into a deeper friendship or more meaningful
relationship. Some online dating services even offer you
the chance to search for singles by ethnic background,
religion, or nationality. Just make sure his or her visa
issue is already clear before you go ahead and fall in
love.
