the date outdoors

Bored with scouring dating websites and finding the same old same old?

Most dating sites seem to be much of a muchness. You find an entry from someone who's posted a picture that's probably around three years old ad taken from a flattering angle, they tell you they have a good sense of humour and like to socialise...but how do you know that they are going to be any fun? I mean, really?

Well, there's a dating site with a difference for people more into parks than pubs, who enjoy a bit of fresh air and adventure. No more endless trawling through profiles and wondering if you really have anything in common, if you like the great outdoors, now you can meet like-minded souls who feel the same way as you in a fun and safe group environment – whether it’s for friendship, or more!

Healthy Lifestyle

The Date Outdoors has a unique focus on a healthy lifestyle and the beautiful British countryside, and helps singles to meet and share their interests.  It’s for people who enjoy getting out and about, trying different activities and making the most ot the great outdoors while getting to know new people...for fun or for romance...Or both, of course! Log on to the Date Outdoors, and you'll be able to view members' profiles, email someone you like the look of, and createyour own list of favourite people.  The site connects people online, to get to know each other and then meet up at UK outdoor events, wether it's a country walk you're looking for (followed bylunch at a local pub, of course) to mountain biking, orienteering or kayaking.  There is something to appeal to absolutely everyone.

Julie Shields, managing director of The Date Outdoors, was single for a little while herself, and wanted to get out and meet people but the prospect of ‘getting to know’ new people online and then meeting them with no real idea if they were going to be well matched had always put her off dating on the web.  Julie has always been a keen walker and wanted to meet someone who shared her passion.  Over a muddy walk with friends, the Date Outdoors was born!

Success Stories

Since The Date Outdoors started, loved up couples have come back to tell the team of their success after meeting on the website.  Last year members Richard and Milly spent their first Christmas together, and recently Dave & Liz stopped by at The Outdoors Show to spill the beans on their budding romance.  Having met online they then arranged to meet at an walking event. 

“This is what we strive for, helping lovers of the outdoors meet and find their soul mate, its incredibly rewarding” says Julie.

The Date Outdoors provides a great range of activities and a place to meet that unites common interests.  And with a website that’s also friendly, relaxed and helps people to start getting to know each other, it’s a winning formula!  There has never been a better time to be single!
