I moved to Spain single and started dating locals. Most were still living with their parents and expected to split the dinner bill.

• Jennifer Fernández Solano was single and looking for love when she moved to Valencia, Spain.
• She dated men in their 30s, still living with their parents, who wanted to split the bill and party late.
• After making a clear list of what she was looking for, she finally found Mr Right.

I was seated across from a tall Spaniard dressed in black jeans and a checkered shirt. We'd "met" a few nights before on a dating app, and I was doing my best to keep the conversation flowing. It wasn't.
