Might start being a matchmaker this summer (seriously)
Bit of a random one. A few of my friends and i have been so fed up with dating at uni and the whole loneliness feeling that seems to never go away despite all the Hinge's and random social apps that come and go. Its probably going to be even worse for us this summer if we don't actually do something about it too which is sad, imagine hot British weather and stuck at home or in random parks with no friends or anything to do.
So we decided to take matters into our own hands and run an experiment this summer off the basis that "what if we all had a friend that could make intros" e.g. that friend who can set you up on a date, or a friend you should meet, or that knows what tonight's plans could be. AND consistent too…
so yea we are actually going to try be "that friend" for people, and eventually ourselves too. Because it gives us something to do and hopefully improve our own social life while we are at it. Its not an app, we are not going to charge for this either, its just going to be vibes and basically just texting everyone with people they should meet.
We somehow have almost 500 students who are down to get matched in some way, but I reckon we need more people to actually do this properly so figured Reddit might actually be the right place to ask because I see so many posts here about dating burnout / loneliness / wanting to meet people more naturally.
is this a terrible idea? How would you solve dating and loneliness? As I don’t think London needs more events. But hey if you'd want to be part of the experiment, comment or DM me :)
