FOUR REASONS TO DATE MORE

You know that feeling when you’re getting ready to meet someone, or try something new. It’s excitement! The excitement you get from having something booked in far outweighs the excitement of a new outfit, or gadget. And that’s because experience matters, so dating needs to make a massive resurgence because it is so good for you.

DATES AREN’T A LABEL, THEY’RE A COMMITMENT TO TIME

When people think of the word date, the first thing that tends to spring to mind is romantic. This needs to change. A date is a commitment, to set aside time, a literally booking on a date in a calendar. We love dates, and we’re here to tell you why.

DATES SET ASIDE TIME FOR YOU TO AUTHENTICALLY CONNECT

To people, to places. It’s like carving out a specific time in your diary when you can focus wholly on something. You’re not distracted by work, or media, or (hopefully) your phone. It’s setting aside a block of time where you can focus on what you’re doing. Because dates feel like a big event, you don’t tend to drift in and out and focus on other things, so you can truly connect to whoever or whatever you are spending time with, whether that is a friend, a partner, a stranger or more importantly; yourself.

DATES SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY

Date’s aren’t a loved up excuse to grab a drink. Dates are far more meaningful. Going on a date in London can be hugely impactful if you chose to go to an independent brand rather than a chain. Independent, small businesses actually
* Define our culture
* Build Neighbourhoods
* Create local jobs
* Create relationships
* Are at the heart of the community
* Diversify consumption
* Introduce new ideas
* Share access to wealth
* Boost our economy

DATES ALLOW YOU TO DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW

Some people like to have their dates in the same place, almost like a safeguard. But dates are a great excuse to try somewhere new. A different environment, a joint venture into trying something different not only sparks conversation but it sparks connection. The most exciting part of a date is often where it is. Doing the same things, at the same places isn’t exciting; a date is an excuse for discovery and what is more fun than that.

DATES CAN BUY EXPERIENCES INSTEAD OF THINGS

Buying new things is great, I think we can all agree on that, but actually nothing compares to spending money on an experience. And you definitely don’t have to have a romantic reason to spend money on an experience, sometimes things are just more fun with friends!

DATES ARE A GREAT WAY TO TREAT YOURSELF

We all deserve a time out, and we definitely all deserve something to look forward to. Treating yourself to trying something new is the ultimate self care! Setting a date with yourself is something that a lot of people don’t take the time to do, and the benefits are unbound.
