If you’re currently single and eager to amend your social media status to ‘in a relationship,’ what are you doing about it? Hoping mutual friends introduce you to someone interesting? Hanging out in your favorite nightspots? Planning a weekend getaway to meet a potential partner? How about a trip to Brighton? This city on England’s south-eastern coast has long revelled in its status as the country’s number one party outlet. Bohemian but welcoming, carefree, and down-to-earth but also boasting bountiful cultural locations, this is a place where romance can be kindled effortlessly. All you need to do now is focus on two things. One, find your ideal travel companion (by arranging a nu date). Two, get acquainted with the fabulous places the ‘London-by-the-sea’ has to offer.
Exploring new date hotspots in the city
If your idea of forging memorable dates is quirky rather than traditional, Brighton will tick every box you could think of. Try The Joker on London Road, a drinking den which has won awards. There’s vintage décor and a unique selection of tasty drinks on the menu. What a way to whet your appetite for your Brighton excursion. Once you’ve developed a taste for delicious cocktails, your next port-of-call should be the quaintly named Mrs Fitzherberts. Select your poison from a tempting array of bespoke cocktails, such as gin-infused berry lemonade. No trip to this popular resort would be complete without savoring the city’s well-known cabaret circuit. One of the hottest hotspots of all is Proud, an iconic entertainment venue where you can revel in the atmosphere of daring burlesque performers and drag queens. The madcap blend of zany costumes, vintage charm, and unforgettable cocktails will build Brighton memories which will linger. Just be sure to check your phone has ample space for photo opportunities.
Engaging with online dating platforms
Before you get as far as investigating any of these destinations, you’ll need to ensure you iron out an even more important consideration. Who is your ‘plus one’ going to be? So, your initial task should be delving headlong into the virtual matchmaking environment by signing up to an outlet where you can find your nu date without too much fuss. The moment you register with the relevant resource you’ll find yourself spoiled for choice in terms of charming candidates for a nu date or even a romantic relationship. Start your investigations in the chat rooms, where you can introduce the subject of weekend breaks to Brighton. You’ll most likely be inundated with chat requests from others eager to arrange getaways to the Sussex seaside venue.
Making the first move
Once in Brighton, you’re next aim should be making a favorable impression. While suggesting places to add to the itinerary, your chief incentive should be picking locations which are liable to stick in your partner’s mind long after leaving this wonderful city. Being ‘spoiled for choice’ does sound a little like a cliché, but this is certainly the case where Brighton is concerned. As well as eating places, homely cafes to five-star restaurants, there will be copious cultural delights on offer, from galleries and museums to innovative and inspirational art galleries. Brighton Museum and Art Gallery is a state-of-the-art attraction guaranteed to leave a strong impression, with its dynamic displays and emphasis on style and fashion (two subjects Brightonians excel at!)
Planning a perfect date
Your prime aspiration should be to guarantee a smile remains lodged on your partner’s face the moment you embark on your day’s sightseeing. They say the way to anyone’s heart is via their stomach, so the initial stage of your busy itinerary should be a hearty breakfast. Why not head over to the Lucky Beach Café, situated on the scenic English Channel waterfront, one of the city’s hippest joints to enjoy brunch? Café Coho on Ship Street relishes its regular accolade of serving the ‘best breakfast in Brighton,’ while the Lucky Beach Café on Kings Road offers everything from full English breakfast feasts to mouth-watering, local-caught fish tacos. Perhaps keep the rest of the day free for coffee and light snacks, as you don’t want to feel weighed down. But after getting some ideas about general things to do in any location, you can apply these suggestions to Brighton and see where the mood takes you. There are many places to enjoy a more substantial meal in the evening, such as 64 Degrees for an eclectic dining experience, or The Gingerman, renowned for its relaxed ambience. If you’re still up for partying later, you can conclude your day out in Brighton by dancing the night away in a club (of which there are many to choose from). PRYZM hosts themed parties and is particularly popular for its sophisticated décor. Shoosh has Glam Saturdays and a VIP suite. If the weather is balmy, there’s outdoor seating where you can chill.
