How Sri Lankans living abroad can find a life partner

Many Sri Lankans working or studying overseas want a partner who shares their culture. Distance makes it a little harder, but the right approach makes it much easier.

Be clear first

• Where would you like to live after marriage — Sri Lanka or your current country?
• Could a partner move there (visa, work, language)?
• Do you plan to return to Sri Lanka one day?

Write about this honestly in your "About me" so that people who are a good fit send you interests.

Searching on Hadamithuru

Use the "Lives in" filter in Browse to see people in Sri Lanka or people living abroad separately. Make sure the country on your own profile is correct too.

Building trust across the distance

• Have regular video calls at a time that suits both time zones
• Let both families talk to each other
• Plan to meet when you visit Sri Lanka
• Never agree to anyone asking you to send money
