“Slow dating”:the new concept for confident romantics

How did the idea of ​​the Love Brigade come about?

A year and a half ago, my girlfriend who I had been with for 8 years left me overnight for no reason, just before our wedding. For 3 months it was horrible, and when I finally got my head out of the water and found myself in the celibacy market, my nephews signed me up on all the dating apps like Tinder, Happn, etc., which I vulgarly call sex supermarkets. It boosts the ego but I don't like this supermarket side, skipping from photo to photo, it's fake, and there's often a lag when you meet the person opposite, it really wasn't made for me . I had the click one day when I registered on Meetic, and at the same time, I chose a sofa on Ikéa.fr… It is as if love had become a commodity. It made me want to give time back to time, to recreate a non-virtual link between people and WITHOUT application. That's how I got the idea of ​​"slow dating", for romantics, lovers of love, who assume the fact of being blue flower. The idea:to bring together singles around aperitifs, who would necessarily come accompanied by a friend, to oblige surprises….

The best thing about "slow dating"?

If it happens, ok, but that's not the primary goal, as it objectively is for a lot of guys on Tinder... There, we come thinking that we're potentially going to have a very nice meeting. The fact of being obliged to come in pairs, with your best friend for example, allows people who are single not to be embarrassed, and not to make it an evening only for celibs. I will also organize games, each person will have for example a mailbox where we can leave handwritten words…

Why can this concept work?

We, Generation Y, are used to zapping, not taking the time for anything. This explains, for example, the success of the slowfood movement. Slow dating offers a return to the simplicity and spontaneity of "real life", a kind of throwback to how before, when we met in the evening and not behind a screen, on the chain. In addition, the fact of being obliged to come accompanied by a boyfriend or a girlfriend, multiplies the chances of surprises...
