Can You Change Your Location on Luxy

No. Luxy sets your location from your phone's GPS or location services, and there is no way to change it by hand. What you can control is whether it shows: Hide My Location, under Settings, then Privacy, lets you hide it. And if you want to see singles somewhere else, BLACK and PLATINUM members can use Search By Location to browse any city in the world from the Discover tab on the Match page.

Luxy reads where you are from your phone. There is no box to type a city into and no pin to drag.

For you, that means the location Luxy uses is simply where your phone is. When you travel, it goes with you. When you come home, it comes back with you.

If you would rather not show where you are, turn on Hide My Location in Settings, then Privacy.

That is useful if you live or work somewhere you would rather keep to yourself. Just keep in mind that hiding your location is not the same as changing it.

Search By Location is the feature for looking beyond where you are. BLACK and PLATINUM members can use it to browse singles in any city worldwide, from the Discover tab on the Match page.

This is the honest way to see who is in a city before you get there. You are not pretending to be somewhere. You are looking ahead.

It is useful for more than holidays. If you travel for work to the same few cities, you can keep an eye on each one between trips. If you are about to move somewhere for good, you can get a feel for who is there before the boxes are packed. In both cases the point is the same: you arrive already talking to someone, instead of starting from nothing on your first night.

If you know you will be in a city for a few days, start looking before you go. A week out is not too early. Browse, pick out the women you would really like a drink with, and write to them.

Be clear in your first few messages that you are visiting, and when. The days you will be in town and one thing you are looking forward to doing there is enough. It gives her a reason to answer now rather than later, and it quietly filters out the women who are not interested in a man passing through.

A plan made a week ahead needs looking after. The risk is that it goes quiet between the day you set it and the day you arrive.

Stay in light touch as the trip gets closer. The trick is not to settle every detail at once. Agree on the evening, but leave one small thing open, such as which bar. That gives you a natural reason to message her the day before, and it never looks like you are nervously checking whether the plan still stands.

If you can, get her on a quick call before you arrive. Plans made over a call hold far better than plans made by text, and she will walk in already feeling she knows you.

Pick somewhere close to where you are staying. On a short trip there is no time to waste crossing a city, and a date near your hotel is easy to extend if it goes well.

When you land, send her a short note the same day. Something light about the flight or the first thing you noticed about her city is enough. It confirms you are really there. It reminds her of the plan without asking whether it still stands. And if you left the place open, it gives her an easy chance to suggest one.

Your location comes from your phone, and your messages should be just as honest. If you are visiting, say you are visiting. If you are there for two nights, do not let her think you live around the corner.

Honesty here works in your favor. A woman who agrees to a drink knowing you are only in town briefly has already accepted the situation, so there is no awkward moment later.

And if the trip goes well, you have a reason to stay in touch. A short call now and then between visits keeps her interested for the next time you are in town.
