Did we mention the long game? You might have to stand on many a rugby pitch sideline on cold, wet weekends, till someone catches your eye
It’s not an obvious dating scene, so people simply might not pick up on your signals.

Not wanting to make a drama out of a dating crisis, but the world is your stage … and many a relationship has started with the rise of a curtain.

The scene might not be your scene.
