Try Social Dating, It's Effective!

Dating online can be difficult and it's an insufficient return on investment; nothing is free. Many sites and apps have paid memberships and others have buy ons to make you more ‘appealing’. Don’t forget that time is money too... We spend so much time on conversations that rarely leave the texting stage… 2nd dates rare and 3rd unheard of.

But guess what?!

People had relationships before dating apps... Surprise, and very successful ones at that! We at Soul Sidekick believe it is time to stop scoping people out on apps and spend more time getting out and engaging with like minded people.

ONLINE DATING IS ADDICTIVE

When online dating we tend to become compulsive for we are seeking instant gratification and enjoy the ego boost when getting a match. We are constantly checking our apps, on breaks at work, when watching t.v, heck… even when in the bathroom. In reality we aren't even really connecting with people; becoming superficial and wasting tons of time on small talk.

SITES CAN CAUSE MAJOR ANXIETY

We’ve all heard of the discussion surrounding phone addiction, some countries are even implementing treatment programs. Studies have shown that being addicted to your phone causes depression and anxiety, the same goes for online dating. When you rely on something for self-esteem or excitement you are disappointed when you don’t see the rewards, it’s like gambling the hope of winning is so strong and motivating you don’t realize you are losing most of the time.

SEEKING LOVE CAN BACKFIRE

We tend to spend so much time worrying about if our matches like us when we should be focusing on what we are looking for! Try to change your mindset, it’s empowering and changes the way you present yourself, stop feeling nervous and desperate to please. Remember, confident people have something to be confident about...

This is why we think “social dating’ is more effective. What do you think?
