Happy Singles Day! Dive into the world of 80's Video Dating

 

Happy Singles Day Lovers
Goodbye February 14th, hello November 11th, Singles Day. A day to celebrate all that is fabulous about the glorious autonomy of single life. 
 
Now 2020 has not made life easy for any of us but especially for the 51% of 25-44 year old Brits* who are trying to date (there are only so many walks round a park you can do).

So to celebrate singles day we wanted to throw back to the 80's and take a look at the original Hinge/ Tinder - video dating. Check out the video below for some hot tips on how to attract a mate this cuffing season...
How could we say no to any of those choices!

However, the pro video daters that we are, we would suggest a quick watch of Rent - A - Pal before heading into the world of video dating. It'll give you some great pro tips to make sure you bag the cream of the crop (and maybe a bit of information on how to stop a creepy VHS version of Wil Wheaton trying to take control of your life) but mainly the tips we promise...

Thinking about it now we might stick with the average British millennial & live alone for the next few years*

Happy Lockdown Dating!
Set in 1990, a lonely bachelor named David (Brian Landis Folkins) searches for an escape from the day-to-day drudgery of caring for his ageing mother (Kathleen Brady). Whilst seeking a partner through a video dating service, he discovers a strange VHS tape called Rent-A-Pal. Hosted by the charming and charismatic Andy (Wil Wheaton – Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Big Bang Theory, Stand By Me), the tape offers him much-needed friendship. But it comes at a cost.

Rent-A-Pal will be released on Digital Download from November 16 Pre-order here!
