Companies are always thinking of ways to help you date.

By is this one step too far?

Modern technology is always improving to help bring people closer together.  First there was the internet, then online dating, mobile phones and now an increasing number of phone apps.

The latest is an app that allows you to see who is single within a certain radius of where you are.  So, it potentially makes finding other singles much easier.

Following in the footsteps of the very popular Gay Dating App, Grindr, several companies are now releasing their own straight versions.

While I would say that anything that can help bring people together is a good thing, I have my own reservations about this.

Most importantly, do people really want to announce to the world that they are a) single b) available and c) nearby?  This opens a whole can of worms when it comes to security, safety and privacy. You could potentially be located by anyone who has the app – regardless on whether or not you think they might be a good match for you.

Also, the service is reliant on a good GPS signal.  Many bars and clubs and underground and won’t have a great connection, making this useless.

I’d advise you not to bother with gimmicks like this. Instead, why don’t you just go up and say hello to someone you like the look of?   You have to cross this barrier, with or without a mobile phone app!

Of course, this will work for some people but I expect it to be very male heavy.  The few women who use it will get inundated though.

I’d love to hear your own thoughts on this. Is it something you’d find useful and a tool you’d be happy to use?

Happy dating!

Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate at our big party on Saturday

We pushed out all the stops for this one, spending all the profits on making it special.

We had a large crowd who enjoyed the complimentary wine and the canapes/buffet.  We’ve already had lots of great comments and feedback about the event and by all accounts it was one of our most popular events ever.

The highlight of the night was of course Lady G – our amazing Lady Gaga tribute act.  She kept the guests well and truly entertained with her uncanny vocal abilities, along with her sexy dancers.  We had decided to get them in as a special treat for our guests and to try something a bit different.  By all accounts this worked wonderfully.

We’d like to thank everyone for their support over the last 9 years.

We’ll be making sure our 10th birthday is even bigger and better, so make sure you don’t miss that one.

Best Wishes,
James and Paul
