Do you ever feel like the spark is diminishing from online dating? Those countless hours spent in front of your computer screen, trawling through dating profiles can never compete with the excitement of those rare moments where you have just locked glances with a beautiful stranger.
So strong is the feeling in New York that daters across the pond have put the interaction and excitement back into meeting strangers with a new U.S. dating phenomenon called Cheek’d.
Cheek’d works by nestling a little black business-like card on an attractive someone. On the card there’s a short note reading something like Find me, along with a singles website and a code. Other such phrases include ‘I’m hitting on you’ and ‘I am totally cooler than your date.’ Those lucky enough to acquire one of these mysterious little black cards can use the code to contact their admirer for free.
Lori Cheek, told When The Music Stops:
“I love the technique of just slipping one as you pass someone going the opposite direction on an escalator or as the subway/elevator doors close. Cheek’d bridges the gap between online dating and real-world romance.”
Cheek’d is an interesting concept but you still have to be quite gutsy to approach a stranger in this way and there’s no way of knowing if they are really single or a safe person to be around.
That’s why we feel that at our personal introductions service Matchmakers, we’ve struck the right balance between something much more personal and interactive than online dating but still with the safeguards of knowing the person you are meeting has been screened.
We assign our clients their own personal Matchmaker to work with them and make it their mission to find their Mr or Mrs Right. We listen closely to your criteria and aim to match you with someone who shares your values and goals so that the match is deeper than physical attraction alone.
