Dating In The 21st Century (Argghhhh)

on

 


Over the last 12 months or so, I have definitely noticed a huge increase in people looking for a

‘hook up’ ‘casual sex’ as well as a long term relationship.


Where do I start? Am I desperate? How do I actually meet new people?


So many questions, but on the plus side.. 1in10 people in the UK use dating apps. That is THOUSANDS of people - they can’t all be wrong!


We are increasingly more receptive to the idea of open and casual relationships and more

inclusive of diversity. Whether it be gender, disabilities, abilities, sexual orientation, religion and

different cultures.


With so many sites and apps out there, each one is specifically designed to cater for

age, disabilities, gender, kinks, fetishes, LGBTQ+, religion, vegans and swingers and much, much more.


Do your research, check to see if there is a cost, is this for me? Is the site you’re looking at for

you? And read the reviews.


Remember, there’s no rush! Covid even made Zoom and Facetiming dates more popular.


Using apps can help match individuals with similar/shared interests,values and physical attraction. Please remember no one is perfect (except Mary Poppins who’s ‘Practically perfect in every way!’) We all have different ideas, preferences and beauty standards and we all have insecurities. Be mindful of everyone’s self esteem and mental well-being, as well as your own.


Real relationships are built on trust, open communication, boundaries and consent. Being honest is the way forward when developing relationships. We recommend knowing what type of connection you’re looking for and communicating this to avoid hurt and time wasting.


Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • Always let a friend know if you’re meeting up with someone new

  • We have a gut instinct Use It.

  • Remember condoms are great at helping prevent unwanted pregnancies and STIs


Now go out there and embrace modern dating! whether it’s a hook up, love or a genuine

connection, you deserve to be safe and have fun.


Have fun, laugh lots and enjoy new experiences.. You’re worth it!


Til next time, Pleasure Seekers.
