Lovestruck: Online Dating for the Busy Professional

Published on August 18, 2010

To business professionals, the idea of dating simply feels like it is not an option. The demand of our jobs or personal lives makes the idea of actively seeking a relationship seem impossible. For many, the common thought is that a relationship is something we will pursue when things “slow down”, next month or next year or who knows when.

Given this situation, we find ourselves resorting to finding our relationships in the workplace (as many as 30% of all relationships are started in the work place). This makes sense, considering the amount of time we will spend with our co-workers. Even when our job is extraordinarily demanding, we can easily find ourselves spending time with our co-workers far more than anyone else in our lives. Still, office relationships are often taboo and let’s be honest: you can only pursue so many relationships in your office before you need to move on to other places.

But what about relationships with liked minded singles…from other offices? This makes a lot of sense to me and this is where Lovestruck comes in. Lovestruck effectively networks the city to enable you to see if there are any attractive singles working nearby. Then you arrange to meet for a quick coffee, lunchtime drink or after-work drink. No grueling 3 hour dates. Instead, just enough time to test the chemistry.

This solves one problem that many busy professionals have with standard dating sites: the people you meet may have very different priorities and a different outlook on life. Dating profiles offer very little options in expressing how important your career is to you or where in your career you might be. The busy professional can solve much of this problem but seeking out like-minded individuals who are in a similar place in their life. When you can meet someone with similar priorities and life goals, you’re already starting out on the right foot. If this sounds like you, Lovestruck could be worth a try.

Lovestruck Availability

One drawback to this service at the current time is its limited availability. Currently Lovestruck is available in the current cities: New York, London, Dublin, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Edinburgh, Leeds, Birmingham, Singapore and Hong Kong. If the service isn’t available for your city today, I’d suggest checking back in the future as the service will likely continue to expand.
