What does a single person need to do to date a non-player real person here in dubai?

I'm a non arab mature girl, hate bar scenes or cheap pick-up places, don't speak arabic and not sure if it's possible to meet a non-arab here!!

Other question: why so many married men look for a girlfriend here? Is married life so terrible in UAE, or they are just pure animals?

You can tell by my questions that I'm new in Dubai, shocked and wishing to go back every single day!

any thoughts on my questions?

I totally agree. When I look back at the relationships I've had they've started in a variety of ways from being introduced through mutual friends to someone randomly catching my eye or vice versa.

My company ran a training day recently with various exercises in building rapour with customers. In one exercise we were shown clips from several movies where two strangers successfully broke down the barriers of not knowing the other with one initiating conversation. The trainer revealed at the end of a clip from 'Before Sunrise' (an excellent romantic film where two strangers sat in the same carriage on a train both make eye contact) that she'd been in many similar situations but never had the next part (where the other person starts a conversation). I asked the trainer (who by the nature of her job requires confidence) why she had never initiated the conversation herself? She seemed a little taken a back by my query, and after searching herself for the answer she said 'you're right, I guess I should have.' I asked as this as it's not the first time I heard a women saying that men don't approach. I feel sad that so many women are conditioned to believe that it is the man's 'role' to make the first move as a woman sits there hoping he will but afraid how she might come across were she to smile and say Hi?!

I met a female work colleague a few times (obviously we weren't dating as that's illegal ) and she'd been single for much of her 8 yrs in Dubai and her longest relationship was 3 months. Again a senior role within the company which requires leadership and a degree of confidence. I was surprised that a very attractive Italian woman struggled to meet men and she put it down to the lack of quality men in Dubai, which I accept to a certain degree. In the context of where we were (in a Mall) I asked her if she passed by a guy in a mall who really caught her eye would she act on her impulses? 'No certainly not' was the reply to which I said 'but it would make your day if he did and asked if you'd like to have a coffee sometime' ...'absolutely' was the responce?! Adapt or follow the herd, the choice is always yours and it's only your mindset to change.
