From the 30th of December – January 3rd, eHarmony (the American one) is having a free communications weekend. The last of this year and first of the next, in fact.
eHarmony UK will have their free communications weekend from the 1st – 4th of January.
So if eHarmony sounds like your kind of site but you’re not quite yet sure, you may want to use this opportunity to try it out.

Here’s a question that keeps coming up time and time again: even in these days of supposed sexual liberation and gender equality, is it OK for women to hit on men?

Speed Dater have a big NYE party in London, at the Abbey bar. They are currently offering a 2 for 1 deal on tickets. There will be a lock & key party, optional speed dating sessions and the usual things such as photo wall, food, music and dancing. The party’s open to singles of the 24-40 age range. The dress code is smart casual to smart.
This is a big party for up to 500 singles and the only NYE party SpeedDater are doing, so I expect there will be people there from outside of London too.

Had an email in my mailbox today saying Parship.co.uk are offering 50% off their 3 month subscription in December. I think this special discount offer is for members who have signed up and not yet paid, but it might be worth signing up this month as a free member to see if you get an offer too.

If you’re looking for a personal recommendation about a personal introductions agency, here’s some good news about a new concept in matchmaking headed by a dear friend and colleague of mine.
Matchmakers and introduction agencies used to be all the rage when it came to getting direct personal assistance with finding love, but the mental image they conjure is not always good – a chain-smoking little old lady parents would hire to get their spinster daughter a husband is the one that first came into my mind!
This image is, however, far from true, as exampified by Coffee and Company, a London based introduction agency for successful professional singles.

There’s a new dating event debuting this Saturday in London promising to be an interesting alternative to your usual speed dating and lock and key party type events.
Offering an alternative dating experience to fun creative people (23-35), Shoot Dating sounds like a cross between a treasure hunt and a photography class, where the goal is to take photos according to clues.
Participants work in teams (a different one for every clue, to introduce you to more singles) and can win cool prizes like cameras. There’s also free entry to a party afterwards at the Bathhouse so you can mingle. The party is a band / rock night, which is in itself somewhat alternative, considering the music played at most standard singles’ events.
I often get people asking me about good singles’ events designed particularly for intelligent, creative and funky people and it’s a toughy. This one seems like it fits the bill.
I like the teamwork aspect of it, which is a great way of learning a lot about a person. The concept is interesting and the location is cool, so should make for an interesting day (and night) out.
