The East Midlands region is one of the 9 official regions of England, it is ranked 4th in terms of the geographical area that it covers, which is 6,033 square miles but is one of the smallest in terms of population and is ranked 8 out of the 9 with a population of 4,533,000 according to 2011 census statistics. It covers the counties of Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire along with the principal cities of Nottingham, Lincoln, Derby, Leicester, and Northampton the county town of Northamptonshire, along with much of the picturesque Peak District, Sherwood Forest and much beautiful countryside.
Here are our recommendations for the East Midlands:

• Dating and meeting opportunities in the larger towns and cities will be considerably more abundant than in rural areas of the region.
• Most of the larger towns and certainly the cities will have a varied range of regular dating events and meeting opportunities such as speed dating, dinner parties, black tie balls, casino evenings etc where you get the opportunity to meet face to face and check out that vital chemistry right up front.
• Online Dating will be an option within the region but remember there has much criticism in this particular area in recent times
• There is no requirement for background checks whatsoever in the UK, so all may not be what it you see initially and we would recommend that you do check out potential dates very carefully prior to meeting them and only ever in a public place.
• Many people now prefer to use a professional personal introductions company to help you in your search, where potential partners have been more carefully checked, look for a well established agency with a good knowledge of the region and it’s counties, cities and towns and a strong presence in the East Midlands
• In some instances agencies now use a Personal Matchmaker to help in the search for your Mr or Ms Right, someone with a strong knowledge of the industry and its pitfalls, we recommend this personal and highly professional approach to seeking out new partners.
• Larger and well established companies may be able to offer a bigger database and therefore a more comprehensive choice of potential partners, so look for a very well established company with longevity in the area.
• Niche markets are a worthy consideration, so we recommend that you take into account companies that specialise in particular age groups, such as 30-50 or 50+ and 60+.
