Dating and finding love as an expat in the United Arab Emirates

Good question.
For me, it is a big challenge to find the right woman.

Good topic. Finding date in dubai is quite easy. But finding a meaningful date turning into serious relationship is rare. In Dubai everything so far expat community is concerned is artificial. No emotional attachment. Even relationship is of mutual interest. So go ahead enjoy your Thursday night till you get bored and loose lot of your hard earned  money..

Hi

Interesting topic... Especially in a place like united Arab Emirates. Well dating is very easy here because mostly people only looking for fun n time pass.. But when that turns to serious relationships.. U will end up alone. No one is ready for commitments here. That's what I feel and see around happening.
Good luck to u.

There is still real friends here who value relationships,good luck.

Not at all, You picked a wrong person better choose wisely coz they are many good guy around here if you cant find one then try and try

its very safe and sound to be have someone on date in UAE, no problem at all.

I thing you are right as people who got married here 80% of them divorce so soon. So people just want to be connected with someone emotionally but marriage no way

Very Interesting topic... Dating in a place like UAE is never easy here because mostly people are from different cultures & communities. If Some time you find some dates but you will not find a meaningful date which turning into serious relationship is very rare. Everything in Dubai is artificial. No emotional attachment. Even relationship is on mutual interest.
It is big challenge for me to find the right lady.

In my opinion dating or meeting people even for friendship abroad could  be a very challenging thing ( I think) for expats or people who lives abroad or away from their country ;

It could takes lots of trust , and honesty to go ahead and give it a try.

so whoever looking for friendship and/or dating should be very clear, and honest about what exactly they looking for?  especially if they are from different culture backgrounds.

so the other person clear if they stand on the same ground!

Very good question, definitely not easy to find the right person! Dating websites aren't allowed, in any case the dating websites that you are able to acces mainly use fake profiles and just rip people off, not sure if there are any genuine ones!
Bars, clubs and restaurants are full of show offs with very few normal people!
You can't make friends easily, and even when you are in a circle of friends, not always true but there seem to be a competition of who has the best job, the highest paid, the villa....etc, people of lower incomes are invisible!
Dubai is lovely, I do like the place, it's modern, safe and offers a lot of freedom and lot of good things but there is some imbalance and a lack of community feel. Dating is definitely an issue!
