Dating for canoe and kayaking singles
Having a common interest is often seen as one of the keys to a successful long term relationship. As a keen paddler having a partner that can enjoy your canoeing passions with you could be a key to long term happiness. Finding a date in a pub/club or amongst friends and colleagues "into" these sports is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Most people have tried the canoe club scene, but dating successfully requires singles, and clubs tend to have a static membership of couples.
Online Dating Rescues Paddlers
OutdoorDuo is a specialist dating site for outdoor people, and if you are seeking a kayaker or canoeist to date it is a good place to start. Your paddling profile will include the outdoor sports you like, not just paddling, but also climbing and mountaineersing, cycling, sailing, scrambling and more...
Further, the other members are self selecting; they are all single like you, looking for a relationship with an outdoor person like you, and probably into white water kayaking, canoe touring and other outdoor sports.
Paddling for a First date
As a paddler it makes sense to make your first date an active date. Why not suggest a kayak or canoeing trip for your first date. A grade 5 white water river may not provide much "getting to know you" time, so a touring river in an open canoe, or a coastal sea paddle may be just the ticket.
Online Dating Works
A recent study at Bath University concluded that,
“... online dating can work for many people, leading to a successful meeting for almost everyone we surveyed.
“... it seems that these relationships have a similar level of success as ones formed in more conventional ways.
“We found that men tend to be more committed to the online relationships than women, possibly because the anonymity of writing gives them a chance to express their emotions more readily than in real life."
