Feb. 7, 2023 Desperate Dating: I got this email. I get these press releases probably because of my blog.
I read them, but I never really write about them until now.
- - - PRESS RELEASE 7 FEB 2023 - - -
Award-winning* niche dating entrepreneur David Minns launches the world’s first dedicated desperate dating site available internationally.
Over 4,000 desperate singles have joined Desperate Dating prior to the site officially launching on the 14th of February 2023.
“Valentine’s day is the perfect launch date as Desperate Dating provides a stark alternative to the mainstream sites and apps that singles regularly join or even re-join this time of year. It also provides something different for the singles who despise reading about love and relationships in February”, David Minns Founder of Desperate Dating
Desperate Dating is not only for people who are fed up with being single but for those who are also fed up with the often ridiculous rules set by relationship experts such as:
Don’t text too much
Play mean to keep them keen
Pretend to be busy
Don’t commit too soon
Those who have been single for more than 3 years clearly need to do something different.
Desperate Dating connects like-minded singles who are keen to date and are desperate to know more about others local to them.
Desperation should not be seen as a negative trait, wouldn’t you want a partner that is committed and isn’t lacking attention towards you?
To accompany the launch of Desperate Dating there is a global survey for how long people have been single. See which countries are the most desperate to find a date! The survey data is ideal for articles or TV/radio content.
It would be wonderful if you could feature Desperate Dating in publications and news stories in the run-up to Valentine’s Day. The press kit includes key facts, logos, and images.

Feb. 6, 2023 "Desperate for a date? Why now could be a good time to admit it": Today I found this article on The Guardian:
If you’re tired of dating time-wasters, a new website offers a twist – no one is playing hard to get
Name: Desperate Dating.
Age: Centuries old, although revealing desperation is traditionally ill-advised.
Appearance: The opposite of playing hard to get.
Is this some kind of new philosophy? It’s actually a new website, called Desperate.Dating.
And it’s for desperate people? It’s aimed at anyone who has been single for three years or more, but that’s not a rule of the site.
What are the rules of the site? The main rule is to forget the old rules of online dating.
What were they? Any strategy that comes under the heading of playing it cool:
avoiding double texting,
showing little enthusiasm,
pretending to be busy.
I suppose acting as if you’re not interested could be considered counterproductive. Yet common online dating advice is to play it cool –
never reply to a message with a longer message,
don’t be too nice,
don’t complain about being single
or propose plans too far in advance.
And all that goes out of the window here? Precisely. The app is for the mad keen and super-available only.
The desperate, in other words. You say it like it’s a bad thing.
It is, famously. Not now. The website wants to help you find someone exactly as needy as you are, as quickly as possible.
How do they mean to do that? There is a one-click “Desperate button” that alerts prospective partners to your interest straight away.
People are signing up for this? Well, 2,400 people have already joined and the site only launches on Valentine’s Day.
Ah, the desperate daters’ Waterloo. Whose idea was this? It is the brainchild of a software developer, David Minns, who has trademarked himself The Niche Online Dating ManTM.
He has other dating sites? He’s the founder of the gamer dating site Joystick, and 20 Dating, an app where you can only match with people who are 20 years older or younger.
Quite niche. But I foresee a problem with the whole idea. What’s that?
While the desperate may be desperate to date, they are not necessarily desperate to date the desperate. That’s the old way of thinking. Why should desperate singles not be able to find each other without having to wade through endless profiles of time-wasters and show-offs?
You seem to be excluding the possibility that some people are desperate because they are awful. Are you flirting with me?
No. You are. Got plans for 14 February?
Do say: “Let’s cut to the chase – if you’ve got opposable thumbs, I think we can make this work.”
Don’t say: “Marry me!”
My opinion: I went to the site and checked it out. It's mediocre. The layout doesn't look good.
All the same of:
Put your name
Age
City
What type of relationship you're looking for like: serious, casual
Your interests from a list:
