A young single woman who describes herself as a “strategic date” has shared how she plans to find the love of her life.
Olivia, from Kent, England, carefully selects “elite” single men who fit her personality and values, and says her choosiness ensures her time isn’t wasted.
The 26-year-old went to great lengths to find her perfect match – one day she flew to Los Angeles to meet her charming girlfriend.
‘For me, [dating strategically] includes a clear idea of what I want for my future and my future partner, which eliminates any waste of time,” she told FEMAIL.
Self-proclaimed “strategic lady” Olivia (pictured) is picky about who she dates and picks from the “elite” single men on the internet.
Olivia uses the dating platform Seeking.com, which brings together “attractive and successful” singles from all over the world.
Olivia uses the dating platform Seeking.com, which brings together “attractive and successful” single people from all over the world, and flying to Los Angeles was one of many highlights.
Before she started using the global platform, Olivia said she had the worst date she’s ever been on.
“I once went on a date with someone who took me to a strip club and called me their ‘friend’ all night – wow!” she said.
Since then, Olivia has started “dating” through the platform and has only dated successful men of a certain level.
“Leaving my personal life to chance is not what interests me,” Olivia said.
“It really allows me to connect with people knowing that I’m not compromising on the things that matter to me.”
The qualities she looks for in a man include humility, intelligence, and openness.
In her experience, Olivia said that all the men she met on the platform were “incredibly respectful and gentlemen”.
“I’m looking for someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously and someone I can be myself around,” she said.
Unlike popular dating apps like Tinder or Bumble, Seeking.com ensures users don’t “settle for anything less than their perfect” match.

Over the past couple of months, talk of “scammers” in dating has flared up due to the hit Netflix show “The Tinder Swindler,” a true crime documentary about an accused scammer who seduces women on dating apps for money.
Asked if she ever gets nervous or worried about meeting people online, Olivia says she always feels safe and often makes video calls first.
“You have the option to check the background of any of your matches. They also monitor potentially offensive behavior across platforms to ensure your safety, so I always feel confident with my matches and know I’m safe,” she said.
Four “warning signs” that your date is toxic:
Elegance coach Anna Bey said it’s important to understand if you’re dating a narcissist, if you’re being “love bombed” or trusting someone new too easily.
Ms Bey urged women to “be mindful” and notice someone’s actions and how they behave in order to understand their true intentions.
1. If he is a narcissist, psychopath or sociopath
2. If you are the “ideal prey” for manipulation
3. If they “like to bomb” you
4. If you are asked to lend money
