Desperately seeking someone

The lonely high fliers are trying to find love

 

They have money, good looks and high-powered jobs, but in the fight to the top they forgot one thing – finding a partner. Now over 30, they have no time to start looking. As a result, more and more lonely single people are asking others to help them find love. Today reporter Margaret Morrison spoke to some of the lonely hearts who told her about just who you meet when you pay for the introduction in a dating agency. My girl must like me, not my wallet. John Frantz 36, American John Frantz has a wonderful lifestyle and he wants to share it with an English girl. At 36 he’s the national sales manager for a big printing firm, earns $65000 and drives a grey Cadillac.   Divorced 5 years ago, he now hopes to find a wife with the English Rose dating agency. ‘Children aren’t so important to me. I don’t want to go to bars to meet women because in the USA they’re more interested in your wallet.’ he says. ‘I meet a lot of people through work, but I’ve got a strict rule of never dating women colleagues. I know a couple of British women at home and they have the air of independence that US women don’t have. I’d like to meet someone who’s intelligent and who has her own opinions.’ His first transatlantic phone call came from Sandy, a secretary living in Middlesex (England). We exchanged photographs, but when she called there was a bit of language problem. We didn’t understand each other’s accent! After that we got on well. I decided to come over to London for 12 days. We went out for lunch and dinner a couple of times, and we’re going sightseeing on Saturday. I’d like to see more of her but romance takes a while to develop. There are a couple of other women I’m going to see while I’m here. Nicky wants to be your English rose Nicolette Morganti 29 Nicolette Morganti’s friends can’t understand why she joined a dating agency. She has a good job as a personal assistant at a television news agency, her own home and a full social life. But the 29-year-old, who has a degree in English Literature, is so fed up with British men that she joined the English Rose dating agency to get in touch with single American males. ’English men are usually materialistic and have no imagination,’ she says. ‘I have spent years being bored by men who never do anything exciting. I’m almost 30 now and I would really love to find a husband and have children. I’d like to live in London for six months of the year and in States for the other six months.’ In her search for the ideal man Nicolette once put an advertisement in a magazine for single people and had 400 replies. But she says: ‘I only met one or two of them. Most of the others sounded very boring. I find that American men are more romantic and considerate than British men. I rang one in the States, and afterward he sent me 200 dollars to pay for the call. I’ve met five so far but I’m looking for someone very special. I’d like to find a caring, well-educated, non-smoking, animal-lover with a professional job and a sense for adventure.’
