A Novel Way To Date: howaboutwe.com
A new site is changing the face of online dating, making meet ups better and more exciting than ever. Thank God. Someone finally made Friday nights so much easier. A new site howaboutwe.com< lets couples leave the date planning to someone else so they can just rock up and have a good time.
It might sound ridiculous to pay out hard cash for a company to decide your evening for you, but think about it for a second. How many nights do you and your squeeze spend sprawled out on the couch, scanning Netflix for something vaguely entertaining? Quite a few I’ll bet.
For any couple whose adventurous instincts are rather lacking, having someone figure out an awesome evening on your behalf can be a godsend. I’m not kidding about that awesome evening part. Paying members get all kinds of benefits from wine tasting to tapas dinners, with a number of romantic options planned out for you. Take your pick; they’ve organized it. I for one, am going to enjoy a change from order-in pizza and a movie, and relish my guided tour of the Museum of Moving Images.
Howaboutwe also doubles as a hook-ups site, but does so in style by putting a great spin on first dates and how users take an interest in each other.
No more meticulously thought out profiles listing your every interest and sporting an especially glossy pic for the benefit of all. Users just suggest a first date idea and see if anyone is keen. Something like “how about we get some plush toys then bash them around an ice rink while wearing superhero costumes?” Doesn’t matter how ridiculous it is, people get to hook up based on what sounds like a good time and just take things from there. Anyone who has spent time giving the whole online dating thing a try and turning up little more than page views with the occasional generic first-date offer of coffee and a movie should love this idea. Getting to jump straight into something unique and funky is the best possible way to make a memorable first impression.
Whether you’re a singleton looking for love or just tired of doing all of the thinking, howaboutwe.com looks like a great way to put some twist into your dating scene.
