Day Two: Slower Dating Flyers Are Going Out Around the University of Birmingham

13 October 2026

Day two of getting Slower Dating out into the real world.

Today I'm back around the University of Birmingham area, personally delivering flyers and introducing more people to a different way of dating.

Slower Dating is built around a simple idea: words before photos. No endless swiping, no judging someone in a second from a picture. Instead, you create a profile, discover people through what they say about themselves and, if there's mutual interest, start a conversation.

The pilot is currently 100% free, and we're focusing on building our first community around the University of Birmingham.

It's still very early days, but every leaflet going through a door is another chance for someone to discover the idea.

Birmingham weather and all. I'm out here delivering these myself.
