Guess what those partners have?

They have single friends of their own.

And let's be real.

Everyone has the dream of dating best friends or at least close friends.

They will be on it like Vegemite on toast.

As soon as my single girlfriends are like, I want to meet somebody, Tom's friends are getting interrogated.

I'm going through his recent texts to remind myself who our eligible bachelors are.

A date is being planned.

Mark my words.

I've also seen success with like speed dating meetups as well.

Or there is this one club in London that I love.

The woman who runs it is so cool.

And it's called Scouting for Sexies, where they go around London pubs and like hang out with the girls, but also chat up guys they think are cute for the fun of it, for the vibes.

And like with their friends.

This is the energy we're bringing.

These are the spaces we want to be in when dating apps are exhausting.

I think meeting people in person just gets rid of that first layer of bullshit, if I'm being honest.

Like it's one less layer of pretense.

You get like a much richer sense of who someone is in person, you know, whether there's that warmth, that humor.

Just seeing what their energy is like.
