Is it Hard to Date in the UK?

There are so many dating apps out there, and most people have a profile on one or more of them. It seems like everyone you know is constantly swiping right and left and setting up dates with people they meet online. Yet research shows that the vast majority of singles don’t trust online dating sites and prefer to meet potential partners the old-fashioned way; in real life — at parties, bars, networking events, or other places where people can meet potential partners face-to-face.Yet it isn’t just the pros and cons of online dating that determines whether someone feels ready to take their love life to the next level – it’s also about how easy it is to find a partner. Are there plenty of single people around you? Do you feel like meeting someone special is something you could do anytime, anywhere? Are there enough single people for you to actually go on a date every now and then? Whether you’re currently looking for love or not, read on to find out why it can be hard to date in the UK and what you can do about it…

It’s hard to find someone you like

People have profiles on lots of dating websites and apps – at the same time! A lot of them are resigned to the idea that they will never meet someone they like enough to go on a date with because there seem to be so few people around who are single and interested in meeting someone new. This isn’t surprising when you consider that in the UK, only about 20% of adults are single. That’s less than one in five people. If you’re looking for a partner who is single and interested in meeting someone new, you’re going to be competing with a lot of other people. Especially if you’re hoping to find someone who is looking for the same kind of relationship that you are.

The pool of eligible people is small

If you’re only looking for a long-term relationship, the likelihood of finding someone who is also looking for something long-term is very slim. Many people are looking for something casual, short-term, or no-strings-attached, which isn’t something that works for everyone. On top of that, the number of people who are genuinely single is actually declining. Some people are single but would rather be in a relationship than be single again, while others are single by circumstance. People may have been in a relationship and then gotten a divorce. They may have ended a long-term relationship with someone who isn’t interested in giving things another go. They may have met someone and be in an open relationship or be polyamorous.

People are generally busy and in a hurry

While some people are on a mission to find love as soon as possible, many others want to take their time and get to know someone before they even consider going on a date. However, many people want to get into a relationship as soon as possible and don’t want to bother with getting to know someone better first. They are often in a hurry because they’re either unhappy in their current relationship or are in a rush to get on with their life. They may have just gotten out of a long-term relationship, might be in a bad situation and need to escape it as quickly as possible or may be dealing with health issues or other problems that mean they want to get into a relationship as soon as possible.

Everyone seems to be on a dating app

If you’re only looking for casual dating, a dating app might be the easiest place to find someone to hook up with – but it won’t be the easiest place to find a partner for a long-term relationship. Some view these apps as a glorified sugar daddy website. Simultaneously, plenty of people are looking for something casual, but there are also lots of them looking for something serious or long-term. If you’re only looking for casual dating, you’re likely to meet people in the same boat as you. But if you’re also looking for something long-term, you will be competing with lots of people on dating apps looking for something serious.

Conclusion

All of the above make it hard to date in the UK. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to make dating easier. Improve your dating skills, focus on meeting people in real life, ensure you are meeting the right people, and take your time searching for a potential partner. Dating in the UK is challenging, but it doesn’t have to be impossible.
