MY FRIEND CHARLIE announces Staycation success, an initiative to get singles offline, away from all the swiping, helping them avoid dating burnout.
Tuesday 29th October 2019: Offline dating industry specialist, My Friend Charlie announces second ‘Staycation’ event further to success story from its first weekender, an initiative to get singles offline, away from all the swiping, connecting in real life (IRL).
The Staycation was born out of the idea that you don’t have to be online to connect romantically in the modern world of meeting. Charlotte Spokes, founder of My Friend Charlie, married up with dating and relationship expert, Sarah Louise Ryan, to bring to life romantic connection in real-time over having fun, being like-minded, having similar interests and values too. MFC encourages single professionals to ‘pick and event, not a profile’.
My Friend Charlie, which successfully crowdfunded as a start-up in 2019, now has another success story under its belt, of the romantic kind. Taking today's soulmate searcher offline and into the real world, where relationships are formed, seems like a no-brainer but in a world where single professionals spend so much time swiping, dating can often only happen in the digital space and not IRL, where users can get frustrated, overwhelmed and suffer digital burnout.
Despite what most might think, a weekender where singles get together is a daring concept. My Friend Charlie and Sarah Louise Ryan took a risk of hiring a stately home, advertising the Staycations event under MFC’s four categories for singles to ‘eat, drink, think and move’, has reaped the rewards in testimonials and a happy couple under their belt.
MFC in house dating experts reports that so many singles are looking to try something different, due to ‘online dating burnout’ and that there is definitely a gap in the market for events with a little bit of something extra. The Staycay is a weekend of potential dating, founded and hosted by the UK’s top offline dating experts. Sarah Louise Ryan, head of Manchester expansion for my Friend Charlie said this:
“Singles events might not seem like a new concept but in a world that’s so connected virtually, having real human connection and interaction with other singles happens mainly in the digital space. We have to dare singles to ‘date differently’ in order to encourage them to try something which seems risky in reaping the return on time investment. We’re pleased to say our launch event for Staycations was a roaring success and we also have a love match. Our next Staycay will take place in November 2019”
