I've been given a chance to relocate within my company to Orlando. There are a few reasons this is attractive to me, and a better dating pool is definitely one of them. I'm still worried that it's not worth it. Ill be leaving behind all my friends....and winter and all the people who have hurt me. I feel like I've definitely have given it my all. So far I've gone on 21 first dates since my ltr ended last fall. Most of these guys are in the next larger city that is about 60 miles away. I have found no one within my own town to even go on one date with.
I'm just worried that ill uproot my whole life just for the hope that something better is out there. What if I'm in Orlando and I can't get any dates? Will I end up hoarding cats?
What do I do in the mean time before the move? Is it wrong to date knowing I'm going to leave? I'm worried that the relocation won't go through. I have a date tomorrow and if that one doesn't go well I think I'm off the market. but what if it does? He already knows about the possible relocation.

Sorry just mind keeping me from sleeping tonight
Wow. Picky much?
Sounds like you'll do just fine with dating in Orlando if you were able to go on 21 first dates in the middle of nowhere.
This is why dating is so difficult for the average guy.
It's borderline, I could see why it could be a problem for some.
But it's also not that far either. And if you really like each other, you can at the very least start spending the night and you wouldn't have to commute that far daily or quite as frequent.

There are a lot of unknowns so it depends on the type of person you are. If you're very dependent on your friends, then you're likely to struggle. If you're the type of person who is ok with risk and being alone for a while, then you'll be just fine.
I'm an introverted risk taker so I've been able to move halfway across the world and been OK with it. The deciding factor for me was the pay rise I got through moving. I could achieve my goals quicker & I can afford to raise a family on my sole income & give them a good quality of life. Have you looked into cost of living for Orlando & how it compares to where you are now? Personally I wouldn't relocate if I ended up worse off financially.
Prior to leaving, I joined some dating sites for where I'ld be relocating to, just to get a feel of reception I would get. It was all positive so I never felt I would struggle for dates. Perhaps you could do the same.
If you plan on continuing dating, then just inform your dates about the impending move right from the start. I personally stopped dating prior to relocation as a LDR from uk to Australia was just not appealing to me. YMMV
Slow down and analyze your 21 dates since your last LTR. I bet there is something other than the "quality of men" on your part that is causing you to not find any connection with someone.
If the real hold up to forming a longer term relationship is on your end, moving is not going to change that.
I am pretty picky on physical condition. I spend a lot of time at the gym so I'm looking for someone who takes their health somewhat seriously and won't belittle my need to workout and eat healthy.
