I’ve decided I’d like an American man, please can you help me find one!

[Americam]

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 :)

@Itwasgoodwhileitlasted

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)

Where did you find him and how did you go about making contact initially?

@claralara42

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

@MotionActivatedDog he announced on Oprah he was single. He'd been in a relationship with Minnie Driver for a year at the time and hadn't told her before hand that they'd broken up. She found out when everyone else did.

Admittedly this was 20 years ago

Play Words with Friends. You'll get loads of American men trying to hook up with you.

Yea you need to hang around the air basis, plus they are the uniform variety which helps.

@SenecaFallsRedux

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.

But what do I actually do when I get there? I’m not very good at getting men. I did have one for a long time but he died on me :(.

@Eskarina1

Not Matt Damon unless you fancy being dumped live on Oprah

Nah. Minnie knew. She just didn’t expect him to announce it on a talk show.

That was back when celebs didn’t necessarily make “joint announcements” about breakups unless they were married.

Is it actually possible to hang around the air base? Don’t you get shot or something? Can you give me names of specific bars/cafes/pubs?

Ooh, an American man in uniform! I'd love one of those!

I met a lovely one in a car park, then had to go to a meeting, I’m sure it was Bury St Edmunds, called me ma’am and everything ❤️ I’d hang around the car parks

@toolazytothinkofausername that is an excellent link, thank you!

Well you just go to America, turn up at any random bar where all the (extremely hot) men will be entranced by your accent and you’ll spend a lovely evening comparing pronunciation, before going back to theirs for a night of passion. Well it worked when Kris Marshall was looking for a woman, I’m sure it works the same the other way round.

Frankfurt airport Christmas Eve. Can't swing your duty-free for hitting US service-men flying home for Xmas.

Does anyone want to join me in my quest? It’ll probably look less odd hanging around in groups, plus I’m almost certain to be older than most of you and you’ll all look stunning next to the old lady (not that you wouldn’t look stunning without an old lady)

@FAQs I’d need confirmation that it was Bury st Edmunds before going there to hang round a carpark

Once I was in Ibiza and some marines were there on their ship. They had those white uniforms like Richard Gere and Tom Cruise. I would recommend going to Ibiza.

😂

And how do you get talking to someone in a carpark? Was it at the ticket machine. I think you must just’ve been extremely lucky to find an American there, I can’t imagine it’s a frequent occurrence.

Just checked on a street view, it was Bury lots in uniform!

called me ma’am
Ooooh that clinches it!
Anyone with an American son, be sure to tell him that is a sure fire winner 😀
OP you have really started something here! So tempted to pop in the car this weekend for a little trip to Bury St Edmunds 😀

Have you tried standing near the peanut butter section in the supermarket? We used to meet americans there all the time.

This thread already belongs in Classics 😀

Omg by dd has just gone to Ibiza today! Like she’s at the airport now! How pissed off do you think she and her boyfriend would be if I suddenly joined them? :)

Just love the dedication to MN duty of checking on Google maps for the OP❤️
