i don't think you'll stay single for a long time here in qatar. just read your profile. since u always want to hang-out, definitely u'll be able to meet someone. isn't it difficult for flight attendants to have a social life? i mean, you're always on the go and your body's always on a different time zone. how's it feel like?

ksarat16 said Hmm...Staying Single...Naaa ...

I wouldn't think so...staying single isnt that hard at all...

You see Life has so much to offer in those simple moments that running behind the bigger ones, we unfortunately fail to see those simple ones...but the moment one starts seeing those moments...VOLLLAAAAAAA...Life will kick in as smooth as possible and you would have a lottttttt of fun...

For a start...I'm sure, Smoke, Ksa, Khanan wouldn't mind a coffee with you, IF and only IF the bill is being paid by you...now there you go, you got yourselves 3 popular men on QL as your buddies...to take it further...they shall reward you with their companionship...which is more than just any coffee bill... :P

Kidding Cabinbaggage...j/k cabincrew...next time please collect new stamps when u visit different places alright...just wanted to tell you, Life has quite a lot to offer...the small moments have equal amount of glory in store as much as the bigger moments that we would want life to live upto...so thats why...as Dr. KSA would say, "Learn to enjoy the simpler things, and the bigger moments will just come kissing your feet or doormat..."

CHEERS!!!

Hello all,

Am also on the cusp of moving to Qatar, arriving mid-late July, and all this chat about "where is everyone/is everyone married" has got me a bit worried!!! Am a single 31 year old guy and looking to make the most out of my new life. Up for the usual, few drinks, few laughs etc.... Advice on how to settle in!?

I'm coming out the same time and really hope this whole "nothing to do if you're single" business is an exaggeration!! Regardless, if you need a drinking partner I'm down! :)

cabincrew89 said Its not that bad! ...

Its not that bad! Its just i kinda fancied meeting other single's! As like i said sometimes i get fed up of playing the 3rd person or having to do the whole family bbq etc! The nightlife is here if you want it and there are some really nice bars! I went out this weekend and had a really good time! i think i rolled in at 7am!
If you want a drinking buddy let us know! lol

Cabincrew89

 

cabincrew89's picture

cabincrew89 said Like i said! ...

I think it has been kinda blow up! But having been here for 7 months Im loving it and as a girl find it a really good place!
So if your down for a drinking partner get in touch when you get here!
ive had a few wild nights out recently!

Cabin,

7 Months, it is short.

A partner you will find soon enough, it is more admirable if you manage to stay on your own 2 feet and not get dragged into the 'drinking' & 'party' life. Look at colleagues that have been here over 5 to 6 years, many of them (lady crew) I know have made wrong choices when it comes to men and are suffering now as they desire to find 'the right guy'.

Be yourself, take your time... all puzzle pieces will fall together eventually....

If you rush... you'll walk into a wall..... and the bounce, hurts like hell.

You may disregard this advice, or take it to heart. Your choice.

You might not paint the town red in Ramadan but you will at other peoples apartments you tend to drink more in Ramadan!

Jambo,

house parties are becoming more essential as "big brother' just imposed some new rules in the bars....

^%&*()E^&*()E%^&*() $%^&*()()*&^%$#/-a-t-/!(bad words) come to you at 0.45 AM asking for a last round!!!! WTF??????

So, get an AA- License ... and, do as I do, organize HOUSE-PARTIES.

Just the freaking mess the next day is a bitch.

Jambo,

The identity struggle in this country sometimes affects the 'unknowing' residents/expatriates.

Now, some new rules have taken effect.... maybe they'll last, maybe not...

Here's a summary

- No skirts above the knees (thanks to 'certain' females in Pearl)

- All identify, no access without passport/local ID (no drivers license)

- 1.45 AM, last order.

- etc etc bullshit bullshit .....

 

Jambo0901's picture

Jambo0901 said Sort of Northern too... ...

Well, Glasgow anyway! But moved to London seven years ago... Will be sad to leave it, but good to go out on a high, I reckon. Am trying to fit on all the stuff I've not done yet... managed to get sunburnt whilst p1ssed pedallo-ing in Hyde Park on Sunday...!

Where in London did you frequent!?

Hi all, arrived in Qatar 6 months ago on single status and the solitude is a big problem for me. The only people I've met are through work, are married and therefore don't really go out too much.

Thought I'd join to QL to meet like minded people and hopefully prevent me climbing the walls with boredom!
