Remember when looking for love was an exciting, social experience?
When having a social life meant being surrounded by friends, new and old, enjoying fabulous venues?
At RSVP, we still believe dating should be a fun and life-enhancing journey. That is why, unlike most other dating agencies, we provide a diverse program of singles events for our members. So, if you are single and ready to mingle... read on!
Social Contact is Like A Vaccine
Our team of dating experts understand that the physical and mental health benefits of socialising are too good to miss out on. In Medical News Today, psychologist Susan Pinker has described healthy physical contact as being 'like a vaccine': " Face-to-face contact releases a whole cascade of neurotransmitters and, like a vaccine, they protect you now, in the present, and well into the future."
Situations that inspire feelings of trust and well-being release oxytocin which in turn lowers your cortisol levels and your stress.
At RSVP, we find social connection helps us to put difficult situations into perspective; strengthens our faith in love and kindness; allows us to enjoy the lighter side of life; provides an opportunity to try new activities and experiences.
Looking for further reasons to join our incredible group of singles?
Here are just a few:
Research suggests that humans are innately compassionate creatures. Developing your capacity to share experiences with others - building empathy and compassion - makes you highly valued by others as a potential partner.
When we interact with others, we are using our brains in a way that improves memory and recall functions, helping to protect the brain from neurodegenerative diseases like dementia.
Researchers at the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Centre, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, found that mental decline in later life can be lessened by maintaining strong social connections. They found that older people who had retained the mental agility of much younger people had one key thing in common: close friends. Those with a high level of positive social interaction were seen as 'Super Agers' who had managed to bypass the normal negative mental impact of aging.
Even group exercise has been proven to be more beneficial than a solo workout. In a recent study - Effects of Group Fitness Classes on Stress and Quality of Life of Medical Students - from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine in Biddeford, ME, it was found that those who exercise in groups report higher levels of mental and physical well-being. Lead researcher, Dr Dayna Yorks, says - "The communal benefits of coming together with friends and colleagues, and doing something difficult while encouraging one another, pays dividends beyond exercising alone.
Put simply, socialising offers a boost to our present and future health and well-being. Our 2023 events program has something for everyone. Our events include cosy pub lunches, dinner at city hot-spots, murder mystery weekends and scenic walks. Our members are genuinely single men and women who are looking for love and want to enjoy every step of the journey!
We also offer personal matchmaking services to RSVP members who are looking for singles events and matchmaking.
Our matchmaking packages offer one-to-one introductions with singles who have been selected for you by an experienced Personal Matchmaker. We have excellent inter-agency relationships with some of the UK's largest dating agencies, which gives us huge scope when looking for the right match for you.
