Going to Gigs
Gigs are a great way to meet not just new people, but also a potential lover. You can find great live music events in London on websites like TimeOut. At gigs, people often feel excited, open-minded and freer as they are likely to be there to see an artist that they enjoy a lot. People are usually standing all-together at gigs, and therefore likely to be easier to approach than if they were sitting at a table. You already know that there will be something you share in common, the musician or band, and this can be a great conversation starter. Nowadays, even if meeting people may be easier, meeting the right people may be more difficult so connecting on a musical level tends to be a pointer to whether you would connect on other levels. Approaching people can be daunting, and so instead of doing that, there are now alternative options like that provided by Badoo. Badoo enables users to see and contact people that are nearby and thus, you may find on the app that is at the gig, and can speak to them online before approaching them in person. According to infogram, in the UK, 1 in 5 relationships now start online.

If you’re not up for going to a gig, music activities can also be helpful in more conventional dates like over dinner or a coffee. Whilst on a date, exchanging playlists and music interests can be a fun and exciting way to get to know another person. According to the research conducted by PLOS ONE, your music tastes say a lot about you. Sharing and exchanging music playlists can be very amusing, especially if you stumble across an embarrassingly cheesy song from childhood. Humor and laughter are great ways to connect with your date and make them feel comfortable and relaxed. In addition, you can learn something new about your date, find out quirky and niche music that they might be into that you may fancy on your playlist too. Exchanging playlists can make for interesting conversations, many song choices have a great story behind them which can give you a better insight into your date.
Therefore, music isn’t just for listening… It is a great way to make lasting connections too. Whether your live music fiend or enjoy a relaxed tune after work, music can be utilized in a variety of ways – including dating!
