The
best Australian dating place happens to be
Melbourne. Dating in Melbourne
is exciting, with a lot of Aussie
singles to keep your
interest going. So how is Aussie
dating different from popular dating sites from other parts of the world? The answer is pretty simple; Aussies have a
love for life and adventure that cannot be rivaled in its entirety and
wholesomeness. Modern online dating does have the benefits of saving you time
in meeting and greeting other interested people of the opposite gender, and
with the rise in mobile apps, it is increasingly becoming easier to find a date
for the weekend or a regular boyfriend/girlfriend.
Dating in Melbourne through apps
We
have all used those wildly popular apps where you need to go swiping left or
right as you chance upon appealing pictures of seductive women in skimpy
clothing, leaving little to the imagination. Use of filters and enhanced photo editing
make them look like a sumptuous treat, and going by my personal experience,
quite a lot of these women do live up to the hype they generate with their
pictures. Then you also have other local dating sites which are more city-
specific, in this case, Melbourne. You really need to be at your best if you
want to bag the goodies! That means your profile on dating sites has to be just
perfect, your interests and likes should be ones that the other person would
like to know about, and the fact that you have adequate time to devote to
dating, which, in Melbourne is chiefly during the weekends. So once you have
found a date with the help of an online dating site, how do you take the
relationship forward? We’ll explore that in the sections below.
The initial days
In
many cultures, the first or the second meeting can signal the beginning of a
beautiful relationship. But in Australia, and especially Melbourne, you and
your date may actually do a lot of related activities before officially
announcing to the world that you are an item. For example, the first time you
meet, it will in all probability not be a formal date. There is a high chance
that your girl will suggest that you meet in a group of friends, or else
suggest some activity that both of you take a pleasure in. And once you start
to enjoy the feeling of being with the other person, either of you can suggest
taking the relationship further on to more stable territory.
Unlike
America, Australia does not have a huge pick-up culture. People in general will
want to know a little more of you, your likes and interests and the kind of
person you are, before they evince an interest in hanging out in your company.
So instead of direct pick-up lines, use normal conversation to start with. Once you see that she is responding favorably
to you, you can ask her out on a formal date the next time.
Where do I take my date for the date?
There
is no shortage of interesting places in Melbourne. If you are adventurous, you
could try a session on the massive interconnected trampolines at Bounce Inc.
There is also the X-park challenge course for you to spend a very interesting
and engaging time. The themed ‘Underground Cinema’ is famous in Melbourne. You
need to dress up, pick up your date for the evening and meet at an undisclosed
location, where a mystery movie will be screened, and it could be anywhere,
from a worn down warehouse to a long forgotten music hall.
Other interesting places in Melbourne for dates
If
you want your date to be an out of the world experience, the Melbourne
Planetarium beckons. The 16 m dome ceiling is perfect for reclining under,
cozying up to your date, while awesome audio-visual displays play out the
mysteries of the universe.
Okay,
the next suggestion is not for all people. But if you have fun on your mind,
you can try a visit to Noisy Rituals, which is the only urban winery in
Melbourne. You can have a foot-stomping time as you dance on grapes, and
indulge in a bit of childish fun, there are also barrel tastings and wine
making workshops for your benefit.
Icebar
Melbourne is the only ice bar in the country and you can snuggle up with your
date in custom fit warm clothes as you knock back one drink after the other.
The bottom-line
Online
dating is the same in Melbourne as it is in other parts of the world, and only
differs in the aspect that you have to be polite and willing to listen to the
other person. If you make a connection online and feel it is worthwhile for the
long run, go for it; Melbourne has all the ingredients to make your relationship
a success.
