Dating in Dubai is notoriously difficult. You’re either got your Dubai douchebags or your divas, and it’s rare you’ll find the happy medium

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but here are eight reasons why you’ll never meet ‘the one’ in Dubai.

1. Tinder is waaaayyyyy too broad

Let’s face it, people have different intentions. Whether you want a hook up or to start making babies, the apps (and the people) are not clear. Blurred lines much?

2. You’re too picky

Does your finger get tired from swiping left? That’s a sure sign you’re just too damn fussy friend.

3. You don’t know anyone’s back story

Are they married at home with a house and kids?  Or are they lined up for a pre-arranged marriage? How will you ever know for sure?

4. People are here for a good time not a long time

Most people don’t settle in Dubai, and so are probably not looking for a longterm relationship. Don’t get that twisted.

5. You’re on a permanent holiday

Your weekends are filled with brunches and beach days. And now you’ve got to factor in time to try and meet someone too?

Making friends is tough enough!
