It quite literally evokes feelings of PTSD, thanks to bad experiences in the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the flaky folks and time-sucking conversations that lead nowhere to nightmare dates that leave you feeling worse than ever about your \u201csingle\u201d status, the thought of online dating is often associated with fear and anxiety, rather than with warm and fuzzy rom-com-like hopes of finding love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online <a href=\"\/en\/category\/living\/\">dating<\/a> often results in behaviours like ghosting, gaslighting, orbiting, and bread-crumbing (Google the terms if you\u2019re in the dark; they\u2019re essential to know and identify). It also turns people into menu items. It is exhausting and borderline soul sucking. It\u2019s sad, but true (but, of course, most of us know this by now).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With COVID-19 inspired social distancing measures still firmly in place, however, the reality is that a dating app is the only option you really have to meet someone new instead of relying on friends and family to set you up. Yes, this prospect sounds daunting but it doesn\u2019t have to be. All you need is a professional to weed out the time-wasters and attract your best matches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canadian company <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shiftdating.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shift Dating<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may change your view and online dating success rate. The Executive Dating and Coaching Service is one good reason not to give up on your online quest for love just yet. Their dating professionals do all of the work for you, so you don\u2019t even have to lift a finger. Think of Shift Dating as a team of professional dating managers who have mastered the system and can share their expertise to ensure you\u2019re getting more matches with the type of men you actually want to meet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In what could be your best-kept online dating secret, the Shift Dating team can curate your Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, eHarmony, or OKCupid photos once they decide which platform is the best for you. They offer personalized tips and tricks to ensure you\u2019re as right-swipe-worthy as possible. With Shift Dating, you\u2019ll finally get the layered, witty banter you\u2019ve always wanted from dating apps. They can even communicate with your matches on your behalf \u2013 sorting out the catches from the questionable ones \u2013 and send you notes and match suggestions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically, the dating managers can do everything for you short of actually showing up on the first date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With over 10-years of combined experience, the Shift Dating team has learned how to manage the maddening machine. \u201cA lot of women \u2013 especially once they hit their mid-thirties \u2013 tend to hit a wall when it comes to online dating,\u201d says Shift Dating founder Anita Sedgwick. \u201cAnd the longer they unsuccessfully stay on the particular dating app, the worse the entire experience becomes. Opening that dating app icon can become a stress-inducing and frustrating activity.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reality is that the worse you perform on the dating app (in terms of how much interest you generate), the more the algorithm works against you. So, it makes an already disheartening experience even worse (what a sick cycle, right?). <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you\u2019re unsuccessful on a dating app, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the machine gives you a metaphoric slap on the wrist and puts you at the bottom of the pile, so to speak,\u201d <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">says Sedgwick. \u201cWe will wipe your unsuccessful dating account clean, start fresh, and reset your entire online dating experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Shift Dating team does this with better, more engaging photos that prove you\u2019re more than a static person on a screen. \u201cYou want to show your well-roundedness. So, for example, you don\u2019t want a profile where four out of five of your photos are you all dressed up,\u201d says Sedgwick. Rather, the most attractive profiles add depth and dimension with photos of you living your life \u2013 whether that means riding a motorcycle through the city, zip lining over a rainforest, crossing the finish line at your last marathon, or kayaking at your cottage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shift Dating Clients can choose between options that range from a profile set-up package to an Executive Online Dating Coach who you can text. The Profile Setup package includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a review and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">re-write <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of customized bios<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a full redesign and overhaul of your online dating profiles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a review and update of all photos, and tips, tools, and\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">advice based on\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">personal dating goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Online Dating Coach package offers everything in the Profile Setup package, but adds features like one-on-one access to your own online dating coach, coaching through your dating journey, and access to real-time advice and tips. \u2013 That means that you don\u2019t have to rely on the advice of your married friends. Taking it a step further, the Executive Online Dating Coach package includes the review and selection of hundreds of potential matches, the managing of all communication, screening of potential matches, regular status reporting. For these clients, they essentially do all the swiping and chatting for you. All you have to do is show up for the IRL (or virtual) date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As time is still in short supply, the last thing most women have time for is a pen-pal \u2013 especially when it rarely amounts to anything more. With Shift Dating, all you have to do is show up for the date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information on how to elevate your online dating game, visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shiftdating.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ShiftDating.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/shiftdating.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shift Dating<\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">While seemingly fun and exciting in theory, the thought of online dating is in fact triggering for many single women.
