You’re sitting on the terrace of your house in France, the crickets are measuring out time in chirrups, you sip a glass of something local and watch the sun go down. Expat dating France has officially launched online on 26 July 2013.

A new dating website might be just what you need to help you find love in the country of amour.

The innovative app which is being billed as a rival to Tinder relies on geo-localisation - and of course, people being signed up.

Happn allows complete strangers to get in touch if they like the look of each other but didn’t have the courage or the opportunity to make face to face contact.

Another clue of a pretender is a woman who has a poorly written profile.

A woman who has only one picture posted, is wearing a tight bikini and making an overly suggestive pose are usually clear signals to steer clear.

I am happy with who I am and would love to share that happiness with the right woman for me. It is wonderful to have someone by your side to love and be loved in return. I would love to start as friends first, meet for a date, get to know each other and see where it leads. I don't think that just because you believe in romance, everything has to be all sappy and mushy all the time.

I definitely feel if you're romantically involved with someone you should be able to share your thoughts and feelings on an array of topics.

Finding love is a challenging quest even in your home country.

Dating internationally will either make it more so or raise the chance to finally get the partner you've been looking for all along.
