You are not alone. A survey by Kaspersky Lab found 62% of people are worried
about meeting someone with “bad intentions”. If you’ve had a bad experience in
the past, it is normal to feel cautious. After all, we humans can be nervous
and suspicious when it comes to love.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But you do not need to worry about anything if you use the
right agency. Using a <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/" target="_blank">dating agency</a> is now more modern, fun, and secure than it
was twenty years ago. You have the real opportunity of falling in love with the
person of your dreams. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Find out four reasons why a <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/" target="_blank">professional dating agency</a>
can <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/" target="_blank">help you find love</a>.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>1.Goodbye Fake News</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7VcJSISl71cATT_1ceRB42HV_Y1vFSijXn89MZjcn8z7mCgkA5IrHuMJTMWOdhuBWr_VUkKDb25WGgrx45qti9TqnXREKzlT4ECVWL1xMrFVG5596c4ytTjRJDrLJWCH5Rc2N1Sa36dg/s2048/Fake+news.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7VcJSISl71cATT_1ceRB42HV_Y1vFSijXn89MZjcn8z7mCgkA5IrHuMJTMWOdhuBWr_VUkKDb25WGgrx45qti9TqnXREKzlT4ECVWL1xMrFVG5596c4ytTjRJDrLJWCH5Rc2N1Sa36dg/w177-h266/Fake+news.jpg" width="177" /></a></div>So, you arranged a date, and when you met them, they looked
completely different from their photo. Then when you started talking to your
date, nothing seemed to match. It all becomes awkward and happens more often
than it should. In 2019, the Pew Research Center discovered seven out of ten
online daters believed it was common for people to lie to seem more desirable. <o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Now you can avoid dodgy dates and enjoy proper dating that
makes you smile.</i></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, a high 57% of online daters in the Kaspersky survey
admitted to lying. So, it is no surprise if you have been a victim. An online
dating agency takes the sting out of everything for you. So, before you even
have that first date. You can feel confident that you will have no unexpected
surprises when you are dating. Phew!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>2. Secure Online Dating Without the Stress</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your security is essential when it comes to dating.
Unfortunately, 60% of female users aged 18-34 have had a bad experience using a
dating site or app. With someone contacting them after they have said they were
not interested. When this happens, it can make you feel a little anxious, and
you start retreating into your shell. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>You can trust your <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php" target="_blank">dating agency</a> to find safe matches.</i></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The agency can get facts and assess the personality of your
potential partner. The vetting process makes sure that you have no unwanted
attention. Additionally, they use their instincts to find the best matches. All
you must do is trust them and let them do what they do best. You can reduce
your stress levels and find love. A total win-win situation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>3. Your Personal Dating Buddy </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOOxDYvIOEETSoaf0UlOkpSflRmxDHgK-E_Z4XCfq_IIZTubxxolN-wVzncwPfSvA3J2_eNgDx_qtOhkj6cAI4qJqvILHJkJg4h7vxuCI66_9zSOGiIDWiEtmBJ-R1v7egdZJwURFg_2w/s2048/RSVP+in+office-69.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1363" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOOxDYvIOEETSoaf0UlOkpSflRmxDHgK-E_Z4XCfq_IIZTubxxolN-wVzncwPfSvA3J2_eNgDx_qtOhkj6cAI4qJqvILHJkJg4h7vxuCI66_9zSOGiIDWiEtmBJ-R1v7egdZJwURFg_2w/s320/RSVP+in+office-69.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Imagine being able to connect with somebody that ticks all
your boxes. It does not get better than that. If you want to reach this point,
you need to open your mind to a different process. When you had your bad
experience with dating, you were not doing it right. Accepting that there is a
better way of doing it will help you find somebody quicker.<br /><o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A dating agency that has <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php" target="_blank">personal matchmaking capabilities</a>
is next level dating.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php" target="_blank">Dating agencies</a>, like RSVP, have headhunting and
<a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php" target="_blank">matchmaking services</a>. Do not worry. There is no tribal headhunting going on
here! It is a simple, effective, and modern way to find the right person for
you. You can have a Dating PA or <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php" target="_blank">Dating Consultant</a>. So, you have a <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php" target="_blank">personalisedmatchmaking service</a> to help you find the right person.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>4. Free Up More Time for Yourself</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You more than likely gave up on online dating agencies
because of your bad experience. But how much time have you spent looking for
the right person? It is energy zapping and takes up all your spare time. Plus, you
are not sure if you are doing it right. Sound familiar? Why put yourself
through all this stress when you do not have to.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Gain more time for you, and let the experts work their
magic.</i></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are serious about looking for a partner, do yourself
a favour and get some help. A dating agency has the resources, contacts,
energy, and experience that you do not. Also, agencies like <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php">RSVP</a> add a little
extra magic dust by keeping it personal. So, you feel like you are working with
a friend instead of a company. <o:p></o:p></p>

it is not, the star of your service – nor should it be! Old-fashioned customer
service is not going out of style. You are human, so why wouldn’t a human be

time by investing our time into your introduction. Every person is different and only a human
can understand this. All relationships
are unique and using a <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/" target="_blank">human touch to source your introduction</a> is the only way

<p><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">When a member or potential
member reaches out for service, they do not want to be treated like just
another number. Our members and customers mean a lot to us, they are
not just data. How can a computer, with no feelings or any relations
with humans, determine the right person for you? The human touch in
customer service refers to the flexibility and empathy with which customers
want to be treated. Technology is efficient but often fails on all these subtle
service fronts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

designed to deal with humans, such as chat-bots, simply cannot offer the
nuances of human touch. Whilst chat-bots are beginning to learn how to
recognize clients, they do not provide the complexity a human can. The human
touch enables RSVP to build relationships with their members. It nurtures trust and respect and customer
loyalty. It demonstrates to customers that they are valued and it is the
driving force that turns a functional customer service interaction into a
memorable one. People do not remember the details of a situation, but they
remember how they felt. So, creating the
human touch in a dating service is, in part, about recognizing, validating and
appeasing the emotions of each member. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Flexibility in member’s service is a
major aspect of creating both the human touch, and great service. Here at RSVP our member advisors and Dating
PAs provide flexibility and can think outside the box, to find compromises and
the right solutions for each member. After all, not everyone’s dating journey
is the same, right?</span></p>
<p><span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">With
all this considered, it is no surprise that the human touch has been coined as
a “luxury” in customer service. RSVP is <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/" target="_blank">long established Dating Agency</a> and has 29 years’ experience and has always
given members a human experience and we will continue to do so. We have always delivered this personal human
touch and believe that by doing so we get you closer to your dating goal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is important to view a disability as you would any other aspect of a person; it doesn’t define who they are and nor should it. <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/" target="_blank">Dating</a> someone with a disability doesn’t mean you can’t access the majority of dates you would with anyone else; cinemas, restaurants, sporting events, theatres and weekend breaks are all accessible, don’t let a snap judgement prevent you from meeting and dating someone incredible!</p><p>Also, remember not to group everyone together into the same cohort, just as we wouldn’t put everyone with brown hair in a segregated group, why should you for those with a disability? Every individual is just that; individual, unique and different from the next person; don’t do people a disservice by not allowing yourself to get to know them based on something which could be relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of things.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSdqMA02TysfWQs1hiRNEybieqteTYpzt-ruLlUiSAArkBjjl68dEQ0HV0pQmg852AkaKO_BNfI5hz91VdMmQKHIixGlKjYfbX9lSQoj-bUrKZTcPRwgutqE9EMDLJEDD_iSRFkgkm7V4/s1688/Fotolia_32236226_M.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1688" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSdqMA02TysfWQs1hiRNEybieqteTYpzt-ruLlUiSAArkBjjl68dEQ0HV0pQmg852AkaKO_BNfI5hz91VdMmQKHIixGlKjYfbX9lSQoj-bUrKZTcPRwgutqE9EMDLJEDD_iSRFkgkm7V4/s320/Fotolia_32236226_M.jpg" width="320" /></a>Our <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php" target="_blank">Singles Events</a> membership allows individuals from all facets of life to get come together, have fun and hopefully experience something new.

only introduce you to the sorts of people you are likely to be interested in.
They will not release your contact information or photo to anyone without your
permission. By using a matchmaker no one, your boss or colleagues at work, your
ex, or your family members, will know you are looking for a partner unless, of
course, you tell them.</span></strong></p>
<p style="background: white;"><strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">No one wants to meet a
perfect stranger. Your matchmaker has spoken with, met and checked the i.d. of
everyone you are introduced to. Because of this, you can explore romance
without fear or worry. And of
course, you also have the benefit of knowing that the person you are meeting is
looking for the same thing as you!</span></strong></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJF0L8Z-ebyel5Zu1SLK7jpBiA8jssVckR98EgJ6KOCcaD8_H3iNLXoIXUDNzlBwdyaTds659oOwYb1w7zN9dtfx0ddmbhTwSyqOn20NjqbPejjJWjrv7UByUaUsmtHUmxcri4ognnPSA/s1280/pexels-emre-can-2110937+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJF0L8Z-ebyel5Zu1SLK7jpBiA8jssVckR98EgJ6KOCcaD8_H3iNLXoIXUDNzlBwdyaTds659oOwYb1w7zN9dtfx0ddmbhTwSyqOn20NjqbPejjJWjrv7UByUaUsmtHUmxcri4ognnPSA/s320/pexels-emre-can-2110937+%25281%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></strong></div><strong><br /><o:p></o:p></strong><p></p>

<p style="background: white;"><strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">Your matchmaker gets to
know you and bases your introductions on your personality, lifestyle, likes,
dislikes and values. Remember, it’s an
iterative process, they will also build up a picture of what you are looking
for as you provide feedback after each meeting.
In this way, they get to know you and understand exactly who a suitable
match will be.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="background: white;"><strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">You do not have to spend
countless hours browsing thousands of online profiles, writing dozens of
introduction e-mails, allowing you to save your energy for the actual date.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="background: white;"><strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">Independent Profiles<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="background: white;"><strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">Dating profiles are
written by the adviser that has met with you at your introductory meeting. This means that you know all the profiles you
see have been written by a third party and are based on what the adviser saw
when they met them in person. A good
matchmaker will also be able to flesh out the profile for you based on what
they have got to know about your introduction since they joined. The added
benefit is that you don’t need to try and think how to best portray yourself,
you can let someone else do that for you.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p style="background: white;"><strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">introduction agencies are <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/" target="_blank">where professionals find a partner,</a> so it makes sense to head to

on a daily basis. When our <br />experienced Dating Consultants meet with new
members, they work with them to set out their criteria including how far are
you willing to travel to meet someone. Is 20 miles from your house or
less the perfect distance, or are you willing to look at 50 or even 100 miles
from where you live?</span><p></p>
<p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We like to think we act <b>GLOBALLY</b>,
but we often end up acting <b>LOCALLY.</b></span></p>
<p></p><span style="font-family: arial;">But it is
really important to consider the decision you make as it will determine the
available pool of candidates to pull from. It's true that it is much easier to
meet someone for a lunch date or a cup of coffee the nearer to you that they
live, however you really don't want to limit your options. Distance can make a
huge difference. If you’re prepared to see people who live 100 miles away (you
only need travel 50 miles if you meet half way), you’re covering an area four times
bigger - with probably four times as many potential matches in it - than if you
specify 50 miles.</span><p></p>
<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQZwhuX9DzBfxQT8lnH-EzdhR714ODoATKjXM9fCSEYgTJCW3Hi7gj4G1aOtXFyfAz6z4CmV6zIEBSbtkDrCPT_H2tR5ULqAfM4xKp0if5cHVgo6i9fk3zxKHtzyVqNkxlEY0N8ybT62s/s2048/long+distance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1306" data-original-width="2048" height="118" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQZwhuX9DzBfxQT8lnH-EzdhR714ODoATKjXM9fCSEYgTJCW3Hi7gj4G1aOtXFyfAz6z4CmV6zIEBSbtkDrCPT_H2tR5ULqAfM4xKp0if5cHVgo6i9fk3zxKHtzyVqNkxlEY0N8ybT62s/w182-h118/long+distance.jpg" width="182" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;">So if you
really are looking for a soul mate or long term partner you need to be
realistic that the ideal person for you might be some distance away. After all,
you haven’t met them yet! And with so many new ways to stay in contact virtually these days, distance need not be a barrier.</span><p></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We
have so many<b> <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/success-stories.php" target="_blank">dating success stories</a></b> where members have set their mileage range for
potential introductions but then attended one of our<span style="color: black;"> <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php" target="_blank">hosted singles events</a></b></span>
or received an introduction outside their initial request where romance
blossomed and the distance failed to matter . </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Over our 29 years, we have learnt
that distance; just like height, dress size and age, really is just a number.
When it comes down to it, if everything else fits the bill do you really want
to turn down the chance that they could be the one, all for the sake of a
number?</span></p>

restrictions still in place, it is likely to be even more disheartening for single people this year. Finding love at any time is
tough – but during a pandemic it can seem impossible. And when there is no
hiding from all the reminders that Valentine’s Day is upon us it can feel even more
isolating. </span></p><p style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">So, if you find yourself feeling lonely and frustrated as
you see all those adverts with happy couples spending lockdown together, why
not make 2021 the year you proactively seek out someone special?</span></span></p><p style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: black;">There is no time like the present!</span></b></p>

Mr or Mrs Right wandering around the supermarket or at work. You need to

<p style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: black;">Make the most of the work we find ourselves in.</span></b></p>

introduction agencies to give them the best chance of finding the right person.
So why not join them and look to the virtual world to meet new people. There

can increase your chances of finding love <br />this Valentine’s Day. <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php">Using a matchmaker</a> can help you to establish the values and characteristics that are
important to you in a partner. They are then able to use a mix of
intuition and expertise to search through their database to present matches
that best meet those criteria. They can also challenge you to look
outside your comfort zone. Our matchmakers have already got to know those
members on their database – so the chances of the chemistry being there is much
higher.</span><p></p>
<p style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black;">Another benefit of choosing to work with a Matchmaker is
that it can give you a more personal and enjoyable dating journey that will
leave you feeling confident, energised and safe. No more scrolling through
online profiles, trying to work who is genuine, even before you think about
their suitability.</span></p>
<p style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black;">At RSVP, we understand that although finding someone to
spend time with on Valentine’s Day is the short-term goal, ultimately you are
looking for a life partner. Our expert matchmakers work tirelessly to get to
know you and what you are looking for so they can introduce you to the right
person for you. </span></p>
<p style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black;">So why wait? Get in touch with our friendly team today and
Valentine’s Day could be the first day of the rest of your new life.</span></p>

After all, in my age bracket, the most common way to meet someone is
online. I had friends that had great success with dating apps and I thought it
might be a fun, easy way of meeting people. However, the reality was very
different and, whilst many people have met partners,
there are many issues to be faced. Since working at </span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-dating-apps" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b>RSVP</b></a><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, I have discovered that
the process through a dating agency is so much better than app dating for a whole range of reasons. Here are some observations:</span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBykuLxa-RxGT70PdNKjNJPbQB4IXV9pCkUj6x5ySUN4V2LQ_Rk63ZMItNq2eiAY0rnllyTUWfZlVNDY5FQdeJrMwWthr_rSAwSj-T8h7QfnaPlX-isa5KaA-OLYYWtOP4LIAeAGPezQ9U/s1600/App+Dating+Blog+Post.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBykuLxa-RxGT70PdNKjNJPbQB4IXV9pCkUj6x5ySUN4V2LQ_Rk63ZMItNq2eiAY0rnllyTUWfZlVNDY5FQdeJrMwWthr_rSAwSj-T8h7QfnaPlX-isa5KaA-OLYYWtOP4LIAeAGPezQ9U/s320/App+Dating+Blog+Post.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Firstly, I am going to jump right in and state the
obvious: dating apps are over-saturated with users. You can create an account on them within minutes and delete an account even quicker. In comparison, joining <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-dating-apps" target="_blank"><b>RSVP</b></a> requires investment; you have to invest your time in an meeting with a Dating Consultant and your money in the membership. This way, we know our members are serious about meeting someone. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are so many different dating apps and dating app
users, which results in a large number of people to sift through, the focus usually being by swiping left or
right. You can’t really set filters other than location and age, which is frustrating. It is
worth noting that the age people display in their profile may not be truthful, it is
very common for people to shave a few years off their age, because who is going
to catch them out? At <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-dating-apps" target="_blank"><b>RSVP</b></a>, when interviewing prospective members, we ask to see ID to get our
members true age. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You do have to put a lot of time into app dating, hours can easily be wasted away by swiping to find
people of interest. You quickly find that you are in too many conversations
with too many people, which naturally becomes overwhelming. Sadly I found that the conversations
are often boring small talk and then didn't very often progress to a date.</span></div>
<br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Personally I found the behaviour on dating apps to be quite brutal; it is common to abruptly get ignored or ‘ghosted’ mid-conversation when it seems going
well. Typically, you see someone you like the look of. 20+ other people
probably like them too; they could be talking to 20+ other people too. Perhaps they
like someone better that you and are putting all their attention into that, and
just </span><a href="https://rsvp-uk.blogspot.com/2017/11/breadcrumbs-are-only-for-ducksnot-dating.html" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">‘bread crumbing’</a><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> you for back up. In all honesty, I have probably been both

You hope that you become their ‘first
choice’ and they give you all their attention. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is safe to say that, whilst
talking to strangers online, normal social graces and good manners tend to get
forgotten. Dating apps must be the most transient and disposable method of
dating. Everyone is looking out for themselves and you can quickly find
yourself in a vicious circle of bad manners. You could have been having a
really great conversation with someone and then bang; no reply after two weeks
of messaging. Did you do something wrong? Did they lose their phone? Are they
in a coma? No, I think the most likely scenario is that they have had a
better option come up.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Profiles are important in whatever method of dating you
are doing. At </span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-dating-apps" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b>RSVP</b></a><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, our dating consultants write the members their profiles
after a face to face interview. Some Dating App users create a profile filling
it out with the maximum amount of detail; others don’t write
anything at all. Pitching the profile right is important; if someone hasn’t
taken the time to write anything about themselves, I view it as they aren’t
really bothered and won’t have good conversation. However, at the other
extreme, if someone has written an essay about themselves and their numerous hobbies, likes and dislikes, I assumed that they are only interested in
themselves and probably wouldn’t have time to date me. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is probably one of the most talked about things
with online dating: it is purely photos and appearance driven, where you are
judged on a couple of photos and perhaps whatever you write in the profile.
These photos could be old photos from years ago - suitably filtered - or, in </span><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">extreme situations, </span><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">may not even be a photo of the person whose profile it is!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZnc0uFya1ITsUSU08P9c0z2VMbEnmq9QWG566nTEIClSHPhAK5OuCHbBCj0r4kT66DRfQwYSrKhWGZgxB0inue91Ko1BKNgqbcjmjTfWqygc_NOpXU96u3c_uPBSoLmBIqkNmDfq4x_IJ/s1600/Dating+App+Pic+3+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZnc0uFya1ITsUSU08P9c0z2VMbEnmq9QWG566nTEIClSHPhAK5OuCHbBCj0r4kT66DRfQwYSrKhWGZgxB0inue91Ko1BKNgqbcjmjTfWqygc_NOpXU96u3c_uPBSoLmBIqkNmDfq4x_IJ/s320/Dating+App+Pic+3+.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, we need to discuss safety. It goes without
saying that there is very little accountability online and it is common sense
to meet in a public place with lots of people. There are plenty of horror stories
in the media about online dates ending horribly and I don’t need to add to this.
I was never put in any kind of danger or felt threatened in any way, but safety was always at the back of my mind and I did feel the need to relay to
friends where I was going and with whom.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In conclusion, I quickly discovered I didn’t want to spend
all day on a dating app; it almost felt like a full-time job. I swiped through
so many people, so many conversations were attempted and a handful of
unsuccessful dates took place that went nowhere. Whilst there is undeniable success
on dating apps, it is purely because of volumes. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let’s face it – we all love a label
right?! What sex do we identify with, what religion are we and don’t even get
me started on whether I am ‘allowed’ to tick the “single” instead of “divorced”
box on a form?!!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But on a film I watched recently, I
heard the term “pre-successful” being used by someone who was unemployed and I
wondered – is this something that I could also lend to my dating
situation?...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">…so the pros are of course that it may
be perceived as a more positive way of saying “yes, I am still single” and it
may just baffle someone enough to then not carry on and ask that ridiculous
question “how/why are you single”? (You have to have some singles in the
world to keep <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php?link=blog-becki-3" target="_blank">RSVP single events</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php?link=blog-becki-3" target="_blank">dating agencies like RSVP</a></b> running)?! I
also like that it infers that there is a successful relationship to come in the
future.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">…alternatively, there could be an
interpretation that not being in a relationship is actually a failure/ being
unsuccessful – which is simply not the case.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So even though I am not convinced by my
thoughts enough to write to Facebook and ask them to add an additional
relationship status category, I have had a moment or two confirm, that the way
we perceive things may have an impact on how we choose to live from day-to-day;</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- at this time of year for example, many
people have made New Years resolutions. Why?!!! Every one of us has the
capacity to make choices and changes at any first or middle date of any of the
twelve months!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- when people comment that we look nice
in something we often quickly reply with ‘oh I’ve had this years/I got it in a
sale’. Why?!!! Every one of us can train ourselves to say thank you and
acknowledge the personal compliment for exactly what it was!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- when people comment that they don’t
meet new people (or dates!), then state that they don’t go to any

within relationships. The typical things that come out usually are...</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not wanting to date anyone with children</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not

<li><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not divorcing someone who they are legally separated
from</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not wanting to be with someone who has a pet. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So in theory, if
they do find the person who is right in every other way…</span><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the deal breaker -such as something from the above - would write them off and stop them from entering into a
relationship. So, there would be no possibility of somewhere down the line of you or they perhaps changing their mind?</span><br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php?link=blog-two-people" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">The RSVP team of expert matchmakers</a><span style="color: #073763; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> know only too well how people can be damaged from past experiences
and will form their relationship decisions based on their view of what the future
holds. But the future is an unwritten book. There is always the possibility that you may
find yourself in love with someone who holds different ambitions for the
relationship than you do.
Furthermore, as a couple, there has to be compromise and a willingness to meet in
the middle, to achieve a relationship that is healthy and evenly balanced.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have been single for a long time, it is normal that
you become the centre of your own universe. In some instances, people overly trust their
instincts to protect themselves from getting hurt, rather than using their
brains rationally. Consequently, putting barriers up can be easily be damaging
when entering into a new relationship. It is best not to allow the negative aspects of a past relationship affect a new relationship.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When you are embarking on a new relationship, it is crucial
to be considerate of the other person and respect their expectations. It goes without saying that you should never compare a current partner to a previous one. If you are relaxed and have formed a trust
with a new person, perhaps you will love them more and relax your rules and
expectations. It is worth putting yourself in the other person’s shoes. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For instance, what if your partner is desperate to get a pet cat and you don’t like
animals? Does your love for that person outweigh your dislike of pets? Would you really
miss out on a potentially great relationship for the sake of some - dare we say it - arbitrary preference? In
life, nothing is certain and people can change...including yourself. We should
not fear change, as it often brings new experiences and possibilities. People who are willing to evolve and build up a new life
are likely to be those who will make the best partners.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am going to go out on a limb here and assume that you are in the midst of making Christmas lists and even thinking of resolutions that you may want to make for 2020? And this is, of course, is particularly relevant for members of <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-new-year-new-you" target="_blank">dating agency RSVP</a></b>, as some of us may have even put <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php?link=blog-new-year-new-you" target="_blank">dating one-to-one</a></b> or going out on <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php?link=blog-new-year-new-you" target="_blank">RSVP singles events</a></b> on our lists and resolutions?!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In <b><a href="https://rsvp-uk.blogspot.com/2019/11/are-we-where-we-want-to-be.html" target="_blank">my previous blog post</a></b> I posed the question “Are we where we want to be?” and I suggested that if we weren’t happy and satisfied in the three areas of <b>emotional wellbeing</b>, <b>active lifestyle</b> and <b>nutritional balance</b>, then perhaps we could make changes so that we can be content in our own skins and be confident that any future potential partner would therefore like us ‘for us’.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So to follow on, in this post I am going to focus specifically on achieving a nutritional balance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Honestly, hand on heart, who has said (either to themselves or out loud) “In the New Year there’s going to be a new me”? For those who have, I am imagining that those thoughts have been matched with ideas of exercising, possible gym memberships and perhaps a type of diet?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If yes, I would now like to scream at you “STOP RIGHT THERE!!!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>1) We love the existing you!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Warts ‘n’ all, creases and laughter lines but most of all – what’s on your inside; your thoughts, wit and intelligence. So, if you are considering making any changes at all to your lifestyle and outlook I would recommend that you do it… FOR YOURSELF and no-one else!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>2) Why New Year?!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Do you thrive on the pressure of a looming deadline or by ticking off jobs on a ‘to-do’ list? If so, you will know that when we actually action our tasks, they get done. For myself, I am likely to leave a job I don’t really want to do, I am not sure how to do, or I am not sure how successful I will be at – until a future date.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, why not give yourself a Christmas present, put a plan in place to change your lifestyle and start it TODAY!?! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>3) Nutritional Balance isn’t about Dieting!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(and I have complete scientific proof for this...)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I follow a nutritionally balanced diet and try to stick to a more or less regulated daily calorie intake. I find nutrition, exercise and following my lifestyle interesting so I enter and read all of my data on an App called ‘My Fitness Pal’. I started using this App in June 2018 and continued to lose weight over the period of one year. My body shape and size changed and I became toned and looked healthy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since June 2019 my weight has (very gradually) increased, but my tone and body shape have got better if anything! Oh and the scientific proof I mentioned – my fat pants! Last week I was quite put out as I weighed myself for the first time in 2 months and (apparently!) I had put on 1.2kg. But, here’s the thing. All of my trousers are feeling extremely comfortable – with room in them AND my go-to fat pants fit absolutely fine – again with room! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you don’t own something similar yourself, the fat pants that I am referring to are a pair or trousers that at one time I only dreamed of being able to wear again – and I did think that would be quite unlikely! They are the trousers that don’t lie – they will very clearly tell me if I have put on weight (as with any additional weight I might not even be able to fit a leg in them, never mind my bum and actually do them up)?!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So what I would very much like to highlight in achieving nutritional balance is, I believe food intake is not about dieting or feeling hungry and NOT about relying on scale weights to track your success.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In brief (get in touch if you would like to know more), my nutritional balance recommendations are:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- calorie intake should match (or be less than) calories you use in the day* (any more is stored as fat)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- protein makes you feel fuller and for longer* (it is recommended you have 30g of protein for breakfast)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- if something is ‘beige’ in colour, it is probably carbohydrate (vegetables are generally very low calorie)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">*using an App like ‘My Fitness Pal’ (which is free) and entering all of your food and exercise (honestly with no cheating!) will really help you to learn what calories you are taking in and when, as well as what nutritional content is in the foods you like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many health plans relate to diets but, in just balancing your nutritional intake with your nutritional needs, you can change your body shape and create your ‘new you’… now!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

so-nearly-missed second date heralded a rewarding new relationship for him.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 120%;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 120%;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He told me of how, on an <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/rutland-singles-events.php?link=blog-second-date" target="_blank"><b>RSVP singles walk in Rutland</b></a>, he met a lady he
found chatty, interesting, appealing in so many ways and, above all,
spontaneous. Walks provide such fertile ground for relationships to gently form
without pressure, as you feel you are just ‘on a walk’ but, in reality, you are
constantly walking and talking alongside different attendees. <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php?link=blog-second-date" target="_blank"><b>Our RSVP singles walks</b></a> are very popular with members. We also arrange fantastic <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php?link=blog-second-date" target="_blank"><b>walking weekends</b></a> a couple of times a year.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 8.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 120%;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Eventually, after an appropriate amount of
procrastination on the part of my colleague, the lady’s spontaneity won the day
and a first date was arranged, which included a dinner. The dinner was…a little
disappointing for both parties: conversation was somewhat stilted and
matter-of-fact; there were a few awkward silences; there didn’t appear a lot of
common ground or interests.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">However, he remembered fondly the easy conversation
he’d enjoyed on the walk and, feeling that was too good to let go, dived in
with a prompt from the </span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php?link=blog-second-date" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><b>RSVP team of expert matchmakers</b></a><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;"> to have second date. Because, after all, what’s the
worst that could happen? The lady bravely said ‘yes’, again.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 120%;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Both arrived at the second date with some trepidation,
but this time the rapport was already there; they were relaxed; the
conversation sparkled; they laughed, they almost cried, they vowed to do it all
again and, afterwards, thanked the <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php?link=blog-second-date" target="_blank"><b>friendly RSVP team</b></a> for the encouragement of a second date!</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">And that was three months ago. Since then, they have
enjoyed many dates and days together, met each other’s families, been on a
short holiday and, of course, walked for miles!</span><br />

magical decisive second date.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">The moral of this tale is: even if there’s a flicker
of something between you, go for the second date.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It always makes me smile when someone asks me “so what
would your ideal man look/be like”?! And this is, of course, particularly relevant for members of <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php?link=blog-becki-1" target="_blank">dating agency RSVP</a></b>, dating one-to-one or going out on <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php?link=blog-becki-1" target="_blank">RSVP singles events</a></b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the mature age of 40 I have concluded that there will
probably be only one thing certain of someone that I have a relationship with –
there is a mutual spark and liking of each other. The rest of the details – who
knows?!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I swipe and click through dating apps and sites
(honestly I’m not a serial date-hunter?!) I still, however, find myself drawn to
a certain ‘type’. Without question there are always men that I feel I wouldn’t
have a connection with, or that I feel wouldn’t be interested in me. Whether
these decisions are justified or not, it does lead me to wonder if all date-hunters
are in places in their life that would compliment their idea of an ideal match?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This could be emotionally (I’m starting to wonder if
there should be a mandatory waiting period before you can ‘advertise’ yourself
to date after coming out of a long and serious relationship?!!), but it could
also be lifestyle factors such as activities or nutrition?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was recently part of a conversation where some singles
that were currently living a more sedentary lifestyle were complaining that
they were not receiving invitations to date. It led me to wonder if us

where we want others to be?!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Is the date-hunter in a place where they could explore a
new relationship without drawing on the past or experiencing mixed emotions
that may get in the way of getting to know someone?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2) <b>Active Lifestyle</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Does the date-hunter engage in activities that they may
be able to comfortably share within a new relationship. For example if they
like the idea of dating someone ‘active’, would they be able to enjoy a
walk/run/game with their date – without dreading the idea or having an
ambulance on speed dial?!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3) <b>Nutritionally Balanced</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Does the date-hunter balance their calorie intake with
calorie outgoings. When you break nutrition down, the purpose of food is to
build, repair and fuel our body. If we consume more than we spend the
additional food nutrients will be stored in the form of fat ‘to be used at a
later point’ – if ever needed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whatever the responses to each of the three areas are
above, I believe that the date-hunter should be content with their conclusions
or quite simply, make adaptations until they are! But, if the responses aren’t
where they would like them to be, consider reflecting on what you are also
telling and asking from a prospective date?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

than single in an interview with Vogue Magazine. This new ‘self partnered’ term
has caused quite a stir and divided option. Last week <span style="background: white;">#selfpartnered
was trending on Twitter</span>. Two members of the <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-self-partnered" target="_blank"><strong>RSVP Dating Agency and Singles Club</strong></a> Team discuss whether they are on board with the term ‘self partnered'.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">‘Self partnered’ Why not?</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My first reaction when I heard that Emma Watson described herself as ‘Self partnered’, was an eye roll. It reminded me
of when actress Gwyneth Paltrow described her split with Chris Martin as ‘consciously
uncoupling’. Then, after reading the
interview in full, not just the media sound bite, I changed my mind. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP0ElwUW0J2LdYCAjyzkjBtycqJZUs9g0qrpmV4aHkMa-e5Ls6hbMsb5IsKBTnp4Y1K49wPaJIjdClZP5D4JxmgkC2yovvBulcJLAn402vY_VUhNKW7WJz-RdPPhEaW-2f_D9hb1GxAj7j/s1600/Self+partnered.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP0ElwUW0J2LdYCAjyzkjBtycqJZUs9g0qrpmV4aHkMa-e5Ls6hbMsb5IsKBTnp4Y1K49wPaJIjdClZP5D4JxmgkC2yovvBulcJLAn402vY_VUhNKW7WJz-RdPPhEaW-2f_D9hb1GxAj7j/s320/Self+partnered.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Watson discusses how, previously, she hated being single and
found herself in consecutive co-dependent relationships. She is now embracing single life and embarking
on her dating journey, resulting in her being happier in herself. Like many <a href="http://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-self-partnered" target="_blank"><strong>RSVP Dating Agency</strong></a> members she doesn't want to use dating
apps. According to Watson, ‘self partnered ‘ comes from a place of confidence and empowerment that she didn’t have in her early twenties.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I conclude that, whilst I don’t see anything wrong with the
term 'single', it goes without saying that to some it can be interpreted in negative ways. Is there anything
wrong with coming up with a term to say that you are fulfilled and single?
Absolutely not.<b><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">‘Self Partnered’ Definitely not!</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whilst I have no problem with Emma Watson being happily
single, I really don’t think anyone can describe themselves as ‘self partnered’.
It is needless to say that a partnership consists of two people, so one may
wonder why Watson is putting two contradicting words together.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEishsf2_DGKY75vK0RMfBBmWiSNUvgE7DTSoI5u5SIs7hSJLCrmef8BmBCqgnHv5WyaRZmvO_9y2eSP2DJaTw0EP4TlcQp_AF-LcKqLo8wVQI1RimVjXh_ESmqjaw_FsPAfaWydv8m_rs/s1600/Self+partnered+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not only do I find this term pretentious, but I don’t
understand why she couldn’t simply say ‘I am happily single’. At <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-self-partnered" target="_blank"><strong>RSVP</strong></a>, we work hard to make sure our members
are enjoying their dating journey because we do appreciate it can be tough. Perhaps
‘self partnered’ comes from a defensive place, because Watson’s personal life has been brutally under scrutiny since puberty and she is trying to control the narrative.</span>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whilst I applaud Watson for being honest with how she is
feeling and I am pleased that she is content with single life
and dating, I really cannot see the phrase ‘self partnered’ taking off and becoming
a mainstream term substituting ‘single’. </span><br />

they know. We completely understand this. It is great to be introduced to a new
person by someone who knows you well and that you trust. In an age where there is so little accountability for online dating profiles
and so many options, there is an increasing transient, unfocused attitude from
some online daters; sadly this creates a vicious circle of bad manners and ghosting. However,
if your friends can’t set you up with anyone and you have given online dating
a whirl, perhaps it is time to look at a well established, </span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-friends" target="_blank"><b>traditional Dating Agency and Singles club like RSVP</b></a><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.

often express frustration from fruitless and, on occasions, scary experiences from dating online. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Recently, I was chatting with someone who is now in a relationship after being set up by a friend. She admitted to me that they are very happy together and was delighted not to have do battle with online dating. However, she expressed something that I hadn’t previously considered; the friend who had set them up feels responsible for the relationship and frequently reminds her of this. She also feels that it is acceptable to ask delicate questions such as ‘when are you moving in together?’. Whilst these questions and comments may be made with good intentions, I understand why this may feel invasive.</span><br />

<a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php?link=blog-friend" target="_blank"><b>RSVP dating approach</b></a> is probably unique: every potential member is interviewed face-to-face with one of our experienced Dating Consultants; then, if they choose to <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/get-started.php?link=blog-friend" target="_blank"><b>join RSVP</b></a> there are <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php?link=blog-friend" target="_blank">great hand-selected matches</a></b>
and <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php?link=blog-friend" target="_blank">superb hosted singles events</a></b>. The team strongly believe in communication when
dating, taking the time for a proper phone call rather than back and forth texting,
and then, after meeting up with a match, providing the matching team with feedback of how the
date went, so they can make the next one even better. Even after 27 years of prosperous matching, we are always delighted
to hear of another happy match. The <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php?link=blog-friend" target="_blank"><b>RSVP's team of matchmakers</b></a> wouldn’t pry and ask you personal

Whilst joining a dating agency and making friends is
unlikely to be your primary objective, it goes without saying that you can never have enough friends and it doesn't hurt to open up your social circle a little wider. One of our members made friends with another member on one of
our events. Then she was set up with her brother...The rest is history.</span><br />

want to be set up by your friends ... and your friends don’t have anyone to set
you up with. I wouldn’t wait around to be set up by friends; it perhaps won’t
work out, even if you do get set up. Furthermore, I am confident in saying their database of single friends won't be as big as the RSVP database of over 26,000 life time members! You could say that by <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/get-started.php?link=blog-friend" target="_blank"><b>joining RSVP</b></a>
and undertaking matches, the team can give you all of the good parts of being

partner, rather than actively going out and looking for someone realistic. It is lovely to dream up a perfect wish-list and just sit back and
wait for them to arrive at our front door, then they proceed to sweep us off our feet. Sadly, it is
time to wake up from this and join the real world; after all, dating in the real
world can be great fun, particularly with </span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-unicorn" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b>RSVP Dating Agency and Singles Club</b></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From time to time, our Dating Consultants meet prospective
members who have a shopping list or have an exact image of who they want in
their head. (Sorry ladies, George Clooney is married; sorry gents, Kelly
Brook is taken). However, if you are
looking for like-minded, engaging, genuinely single people who are trying to
meet their special someone you are in the right place. </span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php?link=blog-unicorn" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b>RSVP's team of expert matchmakers</b></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> will urge you to
approach your dating agency with positivity and an open-minded attitude. This
will undoubtedly get you further than dreaming at home about handsome
strangers and Hollywood happily-ever-afters. (<b><a href="https://rsvp-uk.blogspot.com/2019/06/have-romantic-comedies-ruined-real-life.html" target="_blank">See my earlier post on those</a></b>).</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">An issue that really ties people up in knots is age. It
really shouldn’t - after all ageing is a privilege. At </span></span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php?link=blog-unicorn" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b>RSVP, our friendly Dating Consultants</b></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> interview every
member and check identification, so we know every member is who they say they are and their true age. We regularly
hear tales of internet dating profiles that confidently fib about age, which naturally leads
us to query if there are any more areas of dishonesty. Sometimes, we all still
think we are 21 years old mentally, but, sadly, this doesn’t match the age on our
birth certificates. Every week we hear both members and prospective members say
‘I am a young <insert age here>’. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to
be a ‘young <insert age>’. Whilst you may have a young outlook, or
perhaps you are physically active, or possibly you look good for your age, it doesn’t mean that people twenty years younger will see this and want to date you. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Did you know 5 foot 9 is the average height for a man in the
UK? And that the average dress size for a lady in the UK is a size 16? Not
everyone does. The natural assumption of what we want is the default average.
But if you look at society as a whole, going outside your usual social circles,
there is far more diversity in body type, background and ethnicity, than perhaps you assumed. On countless occasions the <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/dating-agency.php?link=blog-unicorn" target="_blank"><b>RSVP's matchmakers</b></a> have been asked to look for a ‘type’, however the client has then gone on to meet
someone at one of our <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php?link=blog-unicorn" target="_blank">singles events</a></b> who is totally different to the 'type' our matchmakers have been searching high and low for. Once again, I urge you not to get caught up in a 'type' or lengthy criteria; it really won't help your dating journey. Of course, I understand everyone has deal breakers and preferences. Just don't write people off for the sake of a couple of inches in height or dress size.</span><br />

in 27 years. Back in 1992, the internet wasn’t in every home, (forget wifi), John Major was Prime
Minister, Bill Clinton was US President and Disneyland Paris had just opened. Also - and much more importantly, </span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b>Dating Agency and Singles Club RSVP</b></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> opened for business with </span><b style="color: #20124d; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/northampton-dating.php?link=blog-27" target="_blank">dating and singles events in Northamptonshire</a></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">. This was the brain child of recently retired Patrick
McDonald; as a widower he struggled to meet like-minded single people. He
wanted to combine both singles events with hand-picked introductions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It may not come as a surprise to you, but this struggle still
lives on for many single people today; many of our members hoped that the
internet would help them find someone, but it's not as easy as it first appears. Over the 27 years,
<a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-27" target="_blank"><b>RSVP</b></a> has expanded across different counties and the database of members has rapidly
grown to over 26,000 lifetime members. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So how did <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-27" target="_blank">RSVP</a> </b>expand, from a one-man business in Northamptonshire to cover London, the Home Counties, West Midlands, Warwickshire, Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire,
Lincolnshire, etc? There are many answers for
this; as the business built up momentum with <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/success-stories.php?link=blog-27" target="_blank">successful matchmaking</a></b>, the
positive word of mouth from members helped growth through recommendations. The first adverts
appeared in Birmingham Evening Mail and Birmingham Post. <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-27" target="_blank">RSVP</a> </b>adverts
also hit the airwaves on Heart radio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="color: #20124d;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 1999, </span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php?link=blog-27" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b>RSVP singles events</b></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> had a revamp and, for the first time, there were different events taking place in different counties on the same day!
We have continued this by hosting different events to offer our members a
variety of choice in terms of distance and activity. Matchmaking was of course
a busy area within the business and the </span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php?link=blog-27" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">RSVP’s Team of Expert Matchmakers</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> steadily grew with
the increasing member numbers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="color: #20124d;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Notably quite ahead of the curve in 1999, the first RSVP
website went live. Only 13% of households in the UK had an internet connection
at this time. The website was simple and concise with contact details and
information about RSVP. Since then, the RSVP website has undergone several
makeovers, most recently in 2017.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 2000, probably the single biggest jump in RSVP’s
enviable position occurred, with the acquisition of the Bedford-based agency, with which RSVP had enjoyed a close and mutually beneficial working
relationship. At a stroke, RSVP added members in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire,
Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next few years were spent consolidating <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/" target="_blank">RSVP’s</a> position
as the largest independently-run Introduction Agency in the Heart of England,
building up membership in the areas already covered and offering <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/nottingham-dating.php?link=blog-27" target="_blank">matching and singles events </a></b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/nottingham-dating.php?link=blog-27" target="_blank">Nottingham and Derby</a></b>, together with</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> increasingly sophisticated matching
techniques.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 2005, Patrick decided to retire after 13 years of
building RSVP and in came husband and wife team Anne Stringer and Roland Stringer, who
retained the original team, including </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">office manager </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Gaynor. They gradually
modernised the business and rebranded in 2006. A new </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">quarterly</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events-calendar.php?link=blog-27" target="_blank">36-page colour singles events calendar</a></b> was introduced. Specialist matching and event management software was embraced and RSVP
continued to pair together many brilliant couples.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By 2009, the RSVP Head Office had moved from Burton
Latimer to Oakham, as RSVP built up the membership base through <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/leicester-dating.php?link=blog-27" target="_blank">matchmaking and singles events in Leicestershire</a></b>,
Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As the years have gone on, many people ask whether there is
still a place for a traditional dating agency when ‘everything is available online’. Our response is that
there is definitely relevance in a traditional offline agency, when the online alternatives
can be casual at best and dangerous at worst. We find that people who join a traditional dating agency are likely to be:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Committed
to finding the right person.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Prepared to invest time, money and effort in that process.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Less comfortable with having their face and personal details on the public internet.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pleased that we meet every prospective member.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Relieved that every RSVP member really is who we say they are.</span></li>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">RSVP has built up excellent
partnerships with venues and thrown many memorable Singles Balls, Valentines Dinners and Driving Experiences. We have proudly assisted in getting our member’s ‘back

who haven’t been active for over 10 years still get in touch with updates every
now and then.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In recent years, </span><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php?link=blog-27" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b>RSVP Head Office</b></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> has moved again to a more

films, books and television series we become. Since childhood, most of us are
exposed to films that subconsciously stay in our heads, shaping our
mindset. From Disney Princes and Princesses, to the perfect dates on sit coms and
then the fabulously cheesy romantic comedies that we frequently indulge in all lead us to wonder: ‘why do things like this never happen to me?’ We regularly
forget that whatever film or TV show we are watching has been created for our
entertainment and to manipulate our emotions.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Despite loving a good romantic comedy as much as the next
person, I very often watch these films with a pinch of salt. Real life has
taught us otherwise, but there is still the expectation that when we meet
‘the one’, our life will then measure up to the 'happily ever after' we see in the films. What
happens next, after the ‘happily ever after’? Surely this is just the beginning. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiREJzAx1fGuECs8Rog05zbluBPGZnNeERbXCW75HNACnK8W4GKOgsh7oShg6rjLeBRstuiNSabez4377KZpDNDaJxMoYJQbyFRbOi9k8I_CS74VA1Vgvo2pcJ1tG7BXrdLFCVPiwj7BrqB/s1600/lovers-2249913_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiREJzAx1fGuECs8Rog05zbluBPGZnNeERbXCW75HNACnK8W4GKOgsh7oShg6rjLeBRstuiNSabez4377KZpDNDaJxMoYJQbyFRbOi9k8I_CS74VA1Vgvo2pcJ1tG7BXrdLFCVPiwj7BrqB/s320/lovers-2249913_1920.jpg" width="320" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Romanic comedies have provided us with many common clichés, such as the ‘public over-the-top gesture' or 'big act of love', a <span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">hypothermia-inducing
kiss in the rain or</span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> perhaps
a big confession that changes everything. Does this leave us hoping for this to
happen in real life? Day dreaming about a bit of romantic drama like a singing
and dancing proposal in an airport or a
will you/won’t you make it to each other car chase is a harmless way to pass
time. However is this to be expected when it comes to real life relationships
and dating? At this point I feel the need to ask: would you feel comfortable
with a big romantic act? In real life, might this seem a bit ... forced
and unspontaneous? At <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-romcom" target="_blank"><b>RSVP</b></a>, we believe everyday thoughtful little gestures mean far more than a show-stopping public romantic gesture at any time.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Obviously, real-life romance with its twists and turns, good
parts and bad parts, doesn’t make the best television. Recently a
film landed on Netflix called ‘Isn’t it Romantic’; a young lady called Natalie
finds herself in a medically induced coma, where she finds herself trapped inside a
romantic comedy, making her nauseous with all of the typical romantic comedy
clichés. This movie feels very refreshing and provides an antidote to those shelves of overwhelmingly cheesy films.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Being a <b><a href="http://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=blog-romcom" target="_blank">dating agency, at RSVP</a></b>, we are of course big believers in celebrating the real life journey of
love and everything that comes with it. If you'd like some expert help in finding your new beginning, just complete our <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/get-started.php?link=blog-romcom" target="_blank"><b>simple form</b></a> and a member of our team

out not to be the one, is undoubtedly a challenge and something we understand
very well at <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/" target="_blank">RSVP Dating Agency and Singles Club</a>. Everyone has a dating history
and is shaped by past experience. On occasions, RSVP Dating Consultants hear prospective
members describing their previous partner in a lot of detail or even show us
photos of them, then requesting<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>us
to look for someone with either physical attributes or character traits
that their previous partner possessed. It can be very difficult to move on from
an ex, and it is natural to want to take the best parts of them with you. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, this could be holding you back from
seeing a new person’s personality and discovering their individual quirks. If you
put an ex-partner on a pedestal and measure everyone else up to them, it is time to refresh your attitude and open
your eyes a little wider.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When dating, it is important to think of a new person you've met as a
person in their own right. It goes without saying that constant comparison to
an ex could put a real strain on a new relationship. I am not suggesting forgetting
the good memories of someone who was dear to you when there was once a lot of
love;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> h</span>owever, it is crucial to appreciate
the differences between people and begin a new love interest as a completely
new and separate chapter in your life. Learn to enjoy discovering this new
person; don’t assume that they know your preferences for how you have your
coffee or don’t remember that TV show that you and your ex-partner could quote back to each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
may not immediately slot into your life and routine the way a previous partner did, but
they can bring you joy and you can still enjoy a different kind of
relationship. How about building new memories and traditions? Open yourself
up to their life and the possibilities it could bring you both.</span></div>

What a difficult question to answer and it doesn’t get easier in our
27 years of business. This completely depends on how you define success. It isn’t as simple as asking a driving instructor what their pass rate is. Typically, people who are enquiring to join a Dating Agency ask
something along the lines of one of the below:</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">-How many marriages are you
responsible for?</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">-How many couples have got
together through <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php?link=success" target="_blank">RSVP singles events</a></b> or Introductions?</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">-How many RSVP couples have
started a family?<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So why is it so difficult to
answer those questions?</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmKWhTa60BhbgzA69BQV6YolXmUjSNednJWBiIeV36rTZ20Nnk5wxg3lMG0R3nF7lQv5b-1zTxAwFFU0Ha47XCEXwAYVcetcm4IrjXPPHFvZYO-UfCk3sI45eFuHzqqOy3Y_5-qRTMHZ-a/s1600/Holding+hands.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmKWhTa60BhbgzA69BQV6YolXmUjSNednJWBiIeV36rTZ20Nnk5wxg3lMG0R3nF7lQv5b-1zTxAwFFU0Ha47XCEXwAYVcetcm4IrjXPPHFvZYO-UfCk3sI45eFuHzqqOy3Y_5-qRTMHZ-a/s320/Holding+hands.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Firstly, whilst we always
love to hear back from members who have met their partner through us, they
don’t always tell us. However, some members do keep in touch and share their
success stories. <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php?link=success" target="_blank"><b>RSVP's teams of experts</b></a> are always delighted to receive invitations to
our member’s weddings, or just little updates such as receiving postcards,
letters, photos and emails from members who have met partners through us. At
our head office, we have an overflowing ‘Happy Board’ full of correspondence
from satisfied members. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Recently, we received the
below email from a member who is now in a relationship wishing to put his
account on hold: </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">"...Hi Michelle,<br />
I'm e-mailing you to ask you to put my membership on hold because I have
surprised myself by finding a girlfriend. I didn't meet her at RSVP, it
was at my dancing group which I attend almost every Wednesday night.<br />
However I want you to know that that if it wasn't for RSVP the relationship
would probably never have happened. By attending RSVP events, reading
your Matchmakers blog and being matched with some of your lovely lady members, I was
able to regain my confidence and ask my girlfriend out on a date. That
first date was two months ago and since then we have been seeing each other as much
as possible.<br />
I'm going to miss the RSVP events. They were always good and well
organised. Well done to you and the rest of the RSVP team, you are all
doing a fantastic job.<br />
Bye for now David*..."</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioMQIfRQNAYYk_pZ8fAGtpWzHdZUamljm9FR0bxgSBRISS4kr68agHGx6pc3FfldkR-BfluPDn0hhjtYai5-rGypCZ9MngYlAye5X6JcbeVTU2ZXYupIdrTSEBmlaDprk3exZ8bKvEaO0p/s1600/Dancing+feet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1600" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioMQIfRQNAYYk_pZ8fAGtpWzHdZUamljm9FR0bxgSBRISS4kr68agHGx6pc3FfldkR-BfluPDn0hhjtYai5-rGypCZ9MngYlAye5X6JcbeVTU2ZXYupIdrTSEBmlaDprk3exZ8bKvEaO0p/s320/Dancing+feet.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The other reason for us
finding the answer difficult is that success is more than bringing couples
together. On plenty of occasions, we have had so many members like David*, who
have remarked upon how joining RSVP, speaking regularly to head office staff alongside attending </span><b style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/singles-events.php?link=success" target="_blank">RSVP singles events</a></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> has guided
and supported them as members, and has given them back confidence they had
lost. Understandably, we know that dating can feel difficult after years of not
dating; we do advise that the more you put in at RSVP the more you will get out
of your membership.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">So consequently, we don’t
know the specifics and can’t give you an accurate estimate of how many couples
we have directly bought together. Over the <b><a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/about.php?link=success" target="_blank">27 years of <span id="goog_1920667893"></span>RSVP</a></b> there have been so
many. But, more importantly, at RSVP, we are here to help you on your dating
journey and to try and help you enjoy the route to ‘finding your one’.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">And the most important thing I
have learnt in the last year of working at RSVP is not to focus on the end
goal too much, and to enjoy each step in the path on your way.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />

start your dating journey with RSVP, <a href="https://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/get-started.php?link=success" target="_blank"><b>provide us with a few details about yourself</b></a> and one of our friendly team of experts will get in touch.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845409271730574120.post-38660300670267644672019-03-29T12:00:00.000+00:002019-03-29T12:00:11.865+00:00When true love becomes true crime

<span style="color: #141414; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">At the <a href="http://www.rsvp-int.co.uk/?link=truelovetruecrime" target="_blank">RSVP Headquarters</a>, love and dating is always a topic of conversation; from personal
experiences to the latest articles we have read, we love nothing more than
analysing the facts and debating the topics. One particular thing that always
gets us talking are TV programmes and series based around dating – and the
latest hit from Netflix definitely caused quite a stir in the office.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 17.25pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #141414; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Dirty John tells
the creepy true-life dating story of a successful Orange County interior
designer Debra Newell. After looking for love on dating apps following numerous
failed marriages, Derbra stumbles upon the seemingly perfect John Meehan. Just
two months after meeting him they exchange vows and it soon emerges how much of
a mistake Debra has made in deciding to share her life with the terrifyingly
calculated stranger John Meehan is a con-man, who has spent his life in and out
of trouble with the law, tricking multiple women over the years, stealing money
from them, threatening them and then disappearing to find his new victim. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 17.25pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #141414; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">For our expert
Dating Consultants, stories of mistrust and betrayal from online dating are
common. We regularly hear stories of disastrous dates and relationships with
strangers that people have met online – but even they were shocked by this
chillingly relatable story of love, manipulation and survival. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 17.25pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #141414; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">While we all have
different opinions on the amount of trust she put into this stranger so early
on and the speed of which the relationship developed, one thing we did all
agree on was the shock and horror that this was based on true people and a true
case, and the lengths that John would go to get what he wanted. After watching
the series we all agreed that although there are merits to online dating by
opening up your social circles to meet people who you may not have necessarily
crossed paths with in everyday life, how well do you really know that stranger?</span></div>

and meeting every member, to arranging great hosts for each event and, of course, having a helpful team in the office available 6 days a week to talk
to. Recently a member emailed our events team with feedback from her first event:</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></span></span><br />
