Logan City Free Single Personals. Logan City Singles Dating. When I moved here from Melbourne four years ago, the biggest culture shocks didn't come from the change in coffee quality or access to public transport: it was the dating scene.
It often took weeks of messaging back and forth with a potential date to actually confirm a time that they wanted to meet in person and when the night was over, I would rarely hear from them again. Of course, at first I thought it was my fault: perhaps I had been a terrible date all this time, and no-one at home in Melbourne had ever bothered to tell me? But after years of attempting to date in Sydney - with the only two relationships I've had here being long-distance, with people in other cities - I've begun to suspect that maybe my experiences are indicative of a wider dating culture across the city.

- This app works like Tinder — for female friendships?
It's happened to almost every single person I know and seems to happen across relationships of all genders and orientations. It's completely understandable that you wouldn't keep in touch with a bad date, but when I look around at my single Sydney friends, I see clever, warm, funny, attractive people who should have no trouble getting a call back after a good night out. Instead, week after week, we look around the dinner table or across the bar and ask the same questions: why didn't she call me back? Why is he so hard to get in touch with? We've been messaging for a month - is she interested?
Why did he disappear after we had such a great time together? Related: The six men every sex worker encounters on dating apps. Related: The question a sex worker is asked more than any other.

She moved to Sydney eight years ago; and she's been seeing someone for the past few months, but was quick to tell me that they haven't yet discussed becoming official. On the topic of dating in Sydney, she agreed with me: "Most encounters are a delicate balance between showing an interest in someone, and not caring too much. It's almost like you're battling with the other person to be the most apathetic.
Maybe it has less to do with Sydney itself, and more to do with the nature of living in any big city. When you're already pressed for time, dating and romance can become luxuries in a busy week: between racing to work, rushing to the gym, and trying to fit in some quality time with your friends and family, it's understandable that someone could forget to respond to a text or return a call.
And perhaps the transient lifestyle of a large metropolis means we're less likely to want to form connections with the people around us. After all, on any given day, our favourite colleague could be departing for a new job, our treasured housemate could be moving out to somewhere cheaper, or our best friend could be jetting off for a six month backpacking holiday.
We say we'll keep in touch, but sometimes we never do. When everyone is constantly moving onwards, upwards, and away, sometimes it can be easier not to get too attached. So maybe it isn't our Emerald City after all: maybe we're just jaded. Related: Why men cheat with sex workers. Related: Why I want to experience my own happy ending. You may think you spend a lot on flowers or chocolate, but losing money in a romance scam would cost you even more.
