Yesterday I got talking to the lovliest man (at a clinic we were attending, not in a pub sadly) and I remembered how nice I’ve always found American men.

So I’ve decided I’d quite like one please, and I need you folks to help me find one. Any and all suggestions carefully considered :)

I suppose I should say that this is lighthearted - sort of!

What about Tom Hanks?
He seems nice.

I think you'll probably find plenty of American men in America.

Interested in this thread?

Go on holiday in America?

SallySycamore · 01/07/2021 13:44

Hang around the international foods aisle in your nearest big supermarket and approach any men approaching the American section?

Americam · 01/07/2021 13:46

If I go to America to find one, which bit do I go to?

And how do I approach one?

Will you come with me?

Yes Tom Hanks would be acceptable. Where do I find him?

Matt Damon always seemed lovely.

Americam · 01/07/2021 13:47

Does Asda have an international food aisle? It should do I guess.

@Americam

Yes Tom Hanks would be acceptable. Where do I find him?
The airport. Indefinitely Wink

Or on a ship.

Or having a jog.

Or on an island. Again, indefinitely.

Americam · 01/07/2021 13:48

Ooh yes @MotionActivatedDog, he does seem very nice. What’s his address?

OP posts:
Americam · 01/07/2021 13:50

I think Tom might be a bit busy. Matt seems to have slowed down a bit, perhaps it’ll be easier to find him

@Americam

Ooh yes *@MotionActivatedDog*, he does seem very nice. What’s his address?
Matt Damon’s address? That’s classified.

There’s quite a few American air bases in East Anglia and it’s quite normal for people to meet Americans in this area. That’s how I lost my hairdresser to the states! So maybe move to the air base towns?

Itwasgoodwhileitlasted · 01/07/2021 13:53

I've got one.

Pros: lovely accent
Cons: Never takes holiday leave. (Americans get two weeks a year and he can't cope with anymore. It is ingrained)

SeaToSki · 01/07/2021 13:55

Ive got a couple of nice sons that are half American, but one is already taken by a nice English girl, sorry. You might find some at the English or Scottish Universities, or pop over to the East Coast of America. Your British accent will be very popular

Sparklingbrook · 01/07/2021 13:55

Hands off Rob Lowe. He's mine.

Eskarina1 · 01/07/2021 13:56

Not Matt Damon unless you fancy being dumped live on Oprah

MotionActivatedDog · 01/07/2021 13:57

@Eskarina1

Shock whaaaat??
SenecaFallsRedux · 01/07/2021 14:00

Come to the Southern US, OP. Lots of nice ones here. But just be sure to find out their voter registration/political party affiliation before getting too involved. Smile

NotFrozen · 01/07/2021 14:00

Hang around cafes near the American School in St John’s Wood. And go to Whole Foods. Avoid the ones wearing baseball caps. Good luck OP

They are a different breed. There were a lot of American boys at my high school and they were obsessed with carrying my bag for me. It drove me crazy! And they are into ‘dating’. Maybe the grown up ones are different and also things may have changed since the 90s.

Americam · 01/07/2021 14:00

Maybe I should start my search in East Anglia and then if it’s looking promising I can go the whole hog.

I promise not to steal Rob Lowe @Sparklingbrook as long as you help me find another one.

Go to an American Bar on 4th July.

I must say that’s not very helpful of you @MotionActivatedDog refusing to give me Matt’s address. I’m not going to tell anyone.
