| Questions From Other Singles Like You Wondering about Speed Dating events or how Pre-Dating does them? Maybe just a relationship question in general? Some other people did as well and here are their questions to us. If you have a question, simply email us and if selected for our next Newsletter you’ll get a complimentary ticket to one of our events. QUESTION #1: Hi Pre-Dating, It’s the holiday season, and I find myself to be alone, again. I’m going on tons of first dates from people I meet online, but they are not leading to second dates. I just don’t know what I am doing wrong. Answer from Pre-Dating Dear “Lonely in December“, Here’s the good news! It’s “Cuffing Season”! What is cuffing season, you ask? It’s a time when people tend to search for love just a little harder because it’s a time to be around someone you care about. The bad news- expectation vs. reality these days is one of the largest challenges singles face. In a world of online dating, we tend to do our best to market ourselves in the best way possible, I mean, who wouldn’t? So, how do you overcome this? Have a friend or family member read your profile and offer changes, edits ect. to be sure that you are truly resembling you. This includes pictures. Update your pictures every 1-3 months so there are no surprises on date one. The other challenge singles tend to face today is our over-exposure and tendency to follow the “grass is greener on the other side” theory. Basically meaning, we are all a little bit opportunistic by human nature. Because we have an abundance of ways to meet people now-a-days, whether it be Facebook, online dating, instagram, we’re incredibly exposed to new people daily. So, my advice to you is to get off the internet! Meet people face-to-face in an environment that is comfortable and enjoyable to you. Maybe join a cycling club, or running club. There are a plethora of different groups in your area that fit interests you have. It might take some digging, and it may be nerve wracking at first, but if you surround yourself with people you have similar interests with, you’re likelihood of partnering is that much higher. QUESTION #2: Greetings Pre-Dating, How does one go about hosting one of your events? I am in a medium sized city, and we have a real need for these events! I am single myself, and know the challenges people face in this area. Answer from Pre-Dating Dear “Potential MatchMaker”: You’re exactly who we’re looking for! One of our main objectives when hiring a new coordinator in any city is knowing that the candidate understands the customers needs, and can empathize with the struggles, and fears local singles have! As a coordinator, you must also be prepared to utilize social media marketing, be able to hit the town during happy hours to spread the word, and have a good sense of what works and doesn’t work to get the word out there. Pre-Dating’s goal has always been to deliver the highest quality events and customer service at an affordable price.
