dating ideas that may appeal to people who don't want to go down the
traditional route of seeking a mate.
Singles bars have
been around for a long time, and though they may not appeal to everyone they
are ideal because everyone has the same goal in mind. You're all in the same boat, and it may not
be subtle but it certainly is straightforward.
Speed dating gives
you an even shorter time to make an impression. As an alternative dating
technique, it can be a lot of fun. You sit opposite someone and each of you have
a few minutes to tell the other about yourself. When the bell rings you move on
to the next table, start at square one and repeat. If someone bores you to
tears, your suffering is short-lived. At the end of the evening, you connect
with those that tickled your fancy and go from there. If you didn't meet anyone
you clicked with, there's no pressure and you can simply go home and attend the
next session. This is becoming a very
popular technique for singles, and even those who may mock it and perhaps go
'as a joke' or on a dare end up enjoying themselves.
Dating agencies
have become quite popular in recent times. Professional people who lead busy
lives like to use them. It's an alternative dating method that is not foolproof
but it's somewhat safer, as all clients have gone through a filtering system.
Many agencies utilize video dating, whereby the client makes a brief video of
themselves and has access to other client videos for perusal. You don't have
long to make an impression, so it's best to just be yourself. You want to come
across as a genuine person, not a phony.
Many communities
have singles groups that embark on fun activities together, and this is is a
great alternative dating method. Events
like biking, bowling, curling, movie nights, dancing and comedy clubs are
organized by the singles group, and it allows an evenly-distributed group of
participants to have a fun and casual night.
With emphasis put on the activity itself instead of making a romantic connection,
it takes a lot of pressure off the singles and attractions occur more naturally
in this type of setting.
