Mackay and Whitsunday Life

Have You Tried Speed Dating… At Speed?

Dating is hard enough in this day and age – regardless of your age. But for me it’s gotten to a point where even those nearest and dearest are concerned about my lack of love life!

Scotty, my co-host, has taken it upon himself to help me along this Valentine’s Day by taking over my Tinder and entering me in our True Love on A Treadmill comp on the 16th of February. We’re getting a bunch of single men and women from Mackay and the Whitsundays to join us at Mount Pleasant Shopping Centre for a round of speed dating… at speed. If you’re unlucky in love, it’s a low-pressure way to put yourself out there. You can register on our website star1019.com.au – with prizes to also be won!

If you’re already loved up with a boo than here’s my cute but easy guide to making your lover swoon this V-Day:

● Flowers are great but they die, buy your girl a voucher to her favourite hairdresser or beauty salon instead.

● Ladies, don’t skimp on the gifts! Your man will only be a more reluctant gift giver if it’s another day he has to work out what to give you but he gets nothing in return – why not put together an IOU booklet? It could be fun, cheeky or useful!

● Don’t underestimate how romantic it can be to go sit at a nice spot like the Slade Point Lookout or Mount P Lookout with some nibbles and have a good conversation.

● And if all else fails (or you’re single) agree to gift to yourself because the person who loves you the most should be you!

Happy loving from your unlucky in love cupid,

- Kaley
