From endlessly scrolling profiles online and confusing situationships, to ghosting, benching and catfishing, modern dating feel a bit hopeless at times. So how can we be more intentional about finding love? We asked Fred Siriex, best known as the First Dates maître d’hôtel – as the show heads into its 23rd series on Channel 4.
Try meeting in the wild again. “It’s different from when I was younger because you now suddenly have an endless pool of people to choose from. It’s also usually now done on apps, which can lead people to being stood up or catfished,” says Sirieix.
“It can also make meeting in real life difficult because you’re now in front of the person, there is no where you go, you can’t just put your phone down and end the conversation which is what people are used to.”. It’s a different world to the 80s and 90s, Sirieix says. “I think there is no substitute for real life and meeting people in person. To keep a relationship alive, it can be difficult if you are not physically together. Physical presence and physical proximity is key.”.
“When you are in proximity with someone, you can see them, touch them, smell them, look at them which will benefit your relationship. When you’re online through an app, or long distance, it can make it more difficult.”. Communicate exactly what you want.
