“I’m a single female looking to marry a man in uniform. Where should I look?”

We’ve all seen posts like that on Facebook and Reddit, but what actually happens to those who turn to the internet in search of a uniformed significant other?

While advice from the world wide web seldom disappoints, it may not exactly prove helpful in the conquest of singles.

“How can I meet real military men who are single and might be looking for an honest relationship?” one Quora user asked.

“This is a very shallow question,” user Jon Ray responded.

“This is the equivalent of me (a male) asking where I can find women with a chest size of ‘D’ or higher who are interested in an honest relationship or where I can find fashion models who are interested in long term relationships.”

This forlorn, anonymous romance-seeker represents just one of thousands turning to online fora in search of life, love and a little BAH.

“How can I meet and date a single U.S. soldier? I’m a city girl wanting to date a man of honor, a man that serves his country,” another such hopeful wrote on Quora.

The results to this query were equally amusing, with respondent Robin Jewell writing, “I hate to break it to you, but no one becomes a better person just because they put on a set of clothing. If they were not honorable and worthy of respect before, they will not be afterwards. Don’t buy into the glamour of the recruitment ads. A uniform does not turn someone into Prince Charming.”

Still, the pursuit is so popular that EHow, a UK-based how-to publication, wrote an explainer on the topic with in-depth tips that would make anyone with a modicum of shame cringe.

“Many men in the military have a hard time finding girlfriends or wives loyal enough to stay with them throughout constant deployments and obstacles,” EHow noted.

“Go to a military base,” the piece continues. “You can find a job there, meet people who work there, or go to an event there. Make friends who are in the military. Girlfriends who are involved in the military will know military men and be able to introduce you.”

Seems simple enough. And if picking up your entire life to work at the commissary outside the idyllic Fort Drum or the lovely Twentynine Palms doesn’t do the trick, there’s always online dating.

Several prominent military dating sites and apps, including Military Cupid, Uniform Dating and U.S. Military Singles boast the best algorithms for finding Lt. Right.

Reviews of those sites, however, do not exactly encourage participation.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Start dating someone in the military that you meet online

So, you want to meet someone in the military, right? Well you need to know where to look. You could go out trying to meet someone in the local bars and clubs and if you live near a military base then you may find plenty, however, it is so much easier to start your search online. Imagine walking up to someone in a bar and asking them what they do for a living only to find out that they are an accountant and not a military officer. What do you do then? With online dating, all of the hard work is done for you when you sign up and create your account. You tell the dating site what it is that you are looking for and they try and match you with exactly that. Whether you are looking for a regular military soldier or perhaps an office, if you want to just date and have fun or prefer something more serious, the dating site will accommodate you. You must give it enough information to work with though. Don’t overcook it and don’t play yourself down, be honest and try to create an accurate picture of yourself so it is easy to decide if someone wants to get to know you better.

How to meet a military man and start dating them

Military Singles

Once you have been matched with military singles that you like the look of, the next step is to introduce yourself. With online dating, most of the conversation happens online. You send messages back and forth, find out what you need to know about the other person and get to know each other better before you even think about your first date. Be honest and answer their questions but be sure to ask them questions too. Don’t make it all about you and don’t shy away from talking about yourself. Now, because of the nature of their job it may be a little difficult to arrange a first date straight away. They could be away on exercise and only able to talk at certain times, they may be out of the country for a few weeks. The idea is that by the time they come home you will be ready, and excited, to go on your first date. Of course, with this kind of dating scenario you are going to have to be patient and understand the constraints of their job. This may be exactly why you want to meet and date military personnel, because it suits your lifestyle. Whatever your reasons make sure your search starts online.
