Matchlove Speed Dating was established approximately 18 months ago by Gifty Boadu who also hosts the events. Her aim is for singles to have fun whilst searching for Mr or Miss Right. Her business is based in Ellesmere Port, and she prides herself on personal attention to detail and commitment with enthusiasm at each event. Her approach is rooted in delivering memorable encounters, guaranteeing that everything she does displays her dedication in assisting singles find their perfect match.
It was a very hot summers’ evening
and host, Gifty made the wise decision to hold the event outdoors in the very
pleasant seating/garden area outside the pub. It was one of their smaller sized
events with 8 ladies and 8 gents meeting in the hope of finding a match, all in
the 50-65 age group.
Gifty’s events are perfect for
singles who like to meet potential partners in person, almost viewed as the
old-fashioned way in today’s internet/online chat climate, but events such as
these are an ideal way of meeting a selection of dates in one night, obviously
if they fit the bill, looks and personality wise.
The major advantage for speed
dating is that singles are meeting other singles in person, contrasting on-line
dating apps, meaning singles can’t edit themselves and they can’t display a much
younger photo of themselves as they can do online. With speed dating, singles are
able to experience a sample of potential dates and decide if there is that
sparkle they are hoping for and pick up if their is chemistry between each
other in person and if the correct questions are asked, they’ll know if they
are well-matched.
Friendly host Gifty made everyone
comfortable with a drink upon arrival and informed them of the schedule and
what was expected of them. After the registration process was completed, she
explained how the event works; attendees are given a name badge, a pen and a
'scorecard' to note their opinions about each date and tick either a 'Yes' to
those they are interested in meeting again, or a ‘No’ to any they think are not
a match. Ladies are seated on tables whilst the men visit each table to chat to
potential dates. Host, Gifty is on hand with a bell to let the men know when to
move on as there is a time limit of 15 minutes per date. Within 24 hours after
the event, attendees receive a results email informing them who they've matched
with (i.e. mutual 'Yes' ticks). They are also informed of those dates who have
given them a ‘Yes’ tick who they’ve declined.
Most people arrived alone at the
event and the atmosphere was very relaxed with everyone chatting to each other amicably. The event was
scheduled to last for two hours but everyone stayed longer, chatting and
drinking and the time flew by very quickly. This is a very enjoyable way of
meeting possible matches for those looking for a partner or even those looking
to form new friends.
Similar events are scheduled for
other age groups and are perfect for a girls nights out as they entail lots of
conversation, laughter, the buzz of
meeting new people during one evening and a bar on hand for drinks.
