Ways To Save Money While Single During Lockdown

Has anyone else managed to save money during lock down? Or like me have you gone to town on online shopping, online bingo seen as we can’t go to the halls and general extra spends on food and drink!

A single friend of mine on the other hand has managed to save an absolute packet! She’s saved money on fuel, shopping, dinners out and clothes that she doesn’t need to wear! She’s also passed on some tips and tricks for my readers on how online dating has saved her a nice wad to enable her to be able to add to her house deposit pot.

Here’s how she saved her money

• Money she would of spent on meals out dating potential people that never work out she saves instead.
• Fuel she would spend on visiting various locations as people she would meet wouldn’t necessarily be local to her in the Norfolk Singles scene.
• A big chunk of money came from hotel stays as she was struggling to narrow her search before finding Norfolk dating sites to narrow down her search criteria.
• The money she saved on clothing she said was astronomical as she felt she needed a nee outfit for every date, she won’t mind me saying she was a serial dater so that was a lot of pennies Haha.
• The biggest saving she said which is priceless is her time! By meeting local people with similar interests and not having to consider moving across country means when we are able to meet people again she has already made a bond saving time to spend on the fun stuff after the original meet an greet stuff.

For when we are allowed to be released back into the wild here is a dating ditty I created a few years ago.

D.A.T.I.N.G

D- Don’t tell a stranger where you live, although most people will be on the site for the same reasons you can never believe 100% of people are.

A- Always have people know where you are and who you are meeting with. Please don’t rest on your laurels that it will never happen to you because sadly no one is immune from chance takers and creeps.

T- Time will tell if there is a spark there ( ladies you tuppence will twitch if you feel something, if you get my drift lol) Take its slow your not teenagers anymore who need to rush into bed or moving in with a new love interest.

I- Indicate what you want from the date or meet up- some people are very clear on the sites they just want sex.

N- Never put your self at risk ( please revert back to D.A.T.I)

G- Go for it – what have you got to lose tomorrow is promised for no one unfortunately. Grab the bull by the horns and ride it baby.

If you were to give a single friend one bit of online dating advice what would it be? Whether it be serious, fun, rude or light hearted I want to know!
