❤️ More Tech is Not The Answer...So What Is? | The Dateable Dish
In June, Julie opened a lot more spots for what she's calling a "30 minute Dating Pattern Read." She has 3 remaining spots so learn more and book yours today.
Hello Dateables,
With AI Dating apps all the rage (or using AI to replace the swipe as Bumble has made headlines doing), we didn't want to just hear from the companies making them but from the people using them. In a recent Instagram poll we did, we asked YOUR thoughts on using AI in dating apps. Here are the results:
-
7% said all for it if it makes getting dates easier
-
79% said more tech is not the answer
-
9% impartial
-
5% said other
79% of you said more tech is not the answer! So what is?
We recently did an episode called "How to Actually Connect With People You Meet IRL...at Social Activities, Sports, Clubs, Events and Beyond." because while we hear people say they want to meet people IRL, we're also hearing it's not that easy to form actually connections with the people you meet (if you are to even meet people). And a recent Time Magazine Article said that Running Clubs Are A Horrible Place To Meet not because you can't meet people there, but rather because the same dating dynamics from apps play out IRL.
Despite all this, we are confident that now may actually be one of the BEST times to meet people. Because everyone is hungry for connection! People are open to being talked to and meeting up in ways they weren't before because it's no longer the norm. And we want to be a continued resouce to help you do this. So here are some initial ideas of things to do:
- Go listen (or relisten) to the episode: How to Actually Connect With People You Meet IRL...at Social Activities, Sports, Clubs, Events and Beyond.
- Find activities that fit your vibe in your area – and KEEP GOING! Reptition as key. They do not have to be 'dating' events as you'll hear through the episode but they certainly can be. This is also a great plug for an event thrown by a friend of ours Alli Goldberg. She runs the Love Isn't Blind live show which is a ton of fun (comedy dating show + after party mixer). She's back in LA next Friday June 26 or check her schedule for shows across the country. You can also use the code DATEABLE for a discount!
- Check out our additional resources Meeting People IRL Masterclass , Making Dating Apps Work For You (yes, we still believe in dating apps despite the tech sentiment but the key is using them a certain way, not how most people do) or through a 1:1 Call.
Summer should be fun! (any Summer House fans out there?) and it's the time to meet new people – whether they turn into friends, flings, or the love of your life! Have a great long weekend and happy Juneteenth everyone!
