I am from Florida, and now live in Tennessee. I lived for a 3 year period here in Tennessee when I was in my late teens. I had 3 serious relationships in Florida and some dating opportunities throughout my time there. Now I once again live in Tennessee and just like my previous 3 years here, I am having trouble with the ladies. Can't find opportunities to date, or I just end up meeting flaky people who have left me in some bad situations. Those bad situations were cases where we met up and planned dates, but in every case the women either didn't show, or they showed and had other plans. Lots of weird situations here in Tennessee. I've had some heartbreaks and bad experiences in Florida too, but up here I feel like I don't fit in or can't relate to a lot of people here, so opportunities have been hard to come by, or when they do it always turns out to be a bad situation. I would say opportunities here in Tennessee are 1 for every 10 I had in Florida.
Have you experienced a difference with your luck regarding the opposite sex after relocating someplace else? For that matter have you just experienced a difference in friendships and relating to a new area? Do you think relocation has an affect on the opportunities you have in dating/friendships/relations with people?
Looks like I may be moving to Boston in less than a month, so I'll let you know
I really think where you live can have a huge effect on dating, especially if you live in a 'smallish' area. Where I live, it's extremely expensive and jobs are notoriously low paying, so you get people living with family or roommates well into their 30s and everyone is broke. For being the 'happiest place in the US' it can be pretty depressing.

Sounds like Florida to me, everyone thinks it's so great down there. I miss it, but it seems like the same as what you said about where you are as far as the money situation. Good luck after you move, it has been tough relocating for me.
OP: It's not you, it's Tennessee. I've heard this from women in TN, too. One is moving out shortly. Why did you move to TN? For work?

Lost my job in Florida because business was slow after the economy went down and my hours were cut and couldn't afford rent, so now I'm up here. Thanks for the feedback. What happened with person you know in Tennessee?
Moved from Tennessee to New York 2 years ago. Definitely a big difference in number of single men and women out here. Bigger the city the bigger the pool of singles which increases dating opportunities.
Tennessee does have some very nice areas though. Nashville and Knoxville come to mind as great places for singles to move. Especially since both are filled with universities and businesses.

I moved from Louisville, KY to Washington DC (my second stint here) and vicinity in July and I'm getting a little more action here than in Louisville. There are also more women to choose from here who ain't attached and are actually decent. It seemed like every woman I took a second look at in Louisville was either: married, seeing someone, had kids, a St. Matthews woman (stuck up, sunglasses-wearing, princess mentality), or would not mess with black guys. Moving definitely improved my prospects.

Great post. I am actually in process of considering a new job prospect. One is in Louisville and the other in D.C. I prefer living in a larger metropolitan area, but cost of living here in NYC is ridiculous.
Dating aside, if you had your choice between the two cities which would you pick as the place to live long term?
Thanks
