Dater Brad sat down with us to discuss his thoughts about the dating world after his experience on Dating Unlocked.
Have dating apps made forming connections easier or worse?
No doubt about it, worse. It's like the whole dating scene got a facelift and ended up in this weird place where it's more about scoring points in the bedroom than actually connecting. Shallow waters, and it's pretty disappointing.
If you were to create a perfect date that doesn't involve a traditional dinner or a movie, what would it look like?
Imagine this: chilling at home, devouring some mouth-watering pizza, and diving headfirst into a horror movie marathon. Oh, and let's not forget the golden rule – no funny business allowed. It's all about sharing laughs, trading spooky stories, and embracing the thrill without the traditional date-night pressures.
What are three red flags on a date?
Ever been on a date where the other person turns it into their personal monologue? Yeah, big red flag right there. A conversation involves two people, not just a solo act.
If they're keeping their sexuality under wraps from friends and family, that's a head-scratcher. What's the deal with the secrecy? It's a red flag waving in the wind.
Rudeness is a deal-breaker. Manners matter, and if they're lacking, it's a neon sign pointing to potential issues with communication and respect.
In what ways has participating in Dating Unlocked changed or influenced your perspective on love and relationships?
Dipped my toes into the Dating Unlocked pool, met a bunch of characters, and you know what? It's like the more things change, the more they stay the same. Sure, got a taste of the variety out there, but the harsh reality is that lies and misleading actions still hang around, whether you're in person or caught up in some reality TV-style app.
How would you describe your dating style and approach to forming connections with others?
I'm all about that monogamy life, taking it slow and steady. No need to rush into things, especially not the first-date antics. I'm into real conversations, shared interests, and digging deeper than the surface. Building a connection before diving into the deep end – that's the game plan.
