[quote=Anonymous]7 au pairs in, and no, none of our APs has gone on match.com or anything like that.  Two dated very, very casually, but that was it.  One had a boyfriend at home.  The rest hung out with their au pair friends, went to bars and nightclubs, but didn't end up with a significant other.  Our APs have been Brazilian and German.  Of the Brazilians (4), one ended up staying and converting to an F1, getting her MA in special ed, and then eventually meeting someone and getting married 5 years after leaving us.  She certainly didn't come to the US to meet someone at all - it was more about the opportunity to work and be independent that wasn't possible at home.  For the other Brazilians, many of their friends stayed and got married (a few with teh intention of this) but ours didn't.  They went home after their year or two (one was an extension when she came to us) and found great jobs that require them to use their English daily.

The Germans, all young (before college), have not shown any interest in dating at all.  One came with a boyfriend from home (and returned to him - living with him at university now), but the others have just hung out with their AP friends and returned to university after one year.

From other HMs I know, it seems like there are some APs from some countries (according to them, some eastern European countries)  who come to the US looking to meet someone and stay.  But since we have never had an AP who wasn't from Brazil or Germany, I don't know whether this is accurate or just their personal impression.  [/quote]
