Traditional online dating has been quite successful in recent years. Both for the online dating sites and for those lucky few that manage to find love and maybe even a soul mate. But what if you're just looking for love and romance? What if your lifestyle does not afford you the luxury of time? Or what if you love being single but sometimes require a platonic companion to accompany you to a social event?

Hiring a date is actually more common in this day and age than you might think. I recently spoke to a friend of mine that resides in China. He explained that even in his country hiring a date was becoming common practice nowdays. This is quite prevalent during the holiday period, when young Chinese males would visit their parents. The men would hire a fake girlfriend just to give the family the impression that they are involved in a romantic relationship. Chinese culture being so traditional and not encouraging too much physical contact before marriage makes hiring a platonic date quite practical for this type of situation.

In western society it is not at all uncommon to hire a date. There are a multitude of occasions and events that a hired date might come in handy. For example you might get invited to a wedding but do not really like the idea of ​​attending such an important social event on your own. Let's face it, being single at a wedding of all events is really not a very pleasant experience. It also leaves you with a minimal amount of options of people to converse with and this becomes even more uncomfortable when located next to a bunch of couples at the reception.

Hiring a date for this type of occasion makes perfect sense and leaves you feeling confident and good about yourself. You also have someone to talk to through the entire day and at the same time maybe even make a new friend. The best part is that everyone at the wedding assures that you have both met each other under normal circumstances. You can both agree upon a story of how you met and make it as elaborate as you like.

So if you ever find yourself in a situation where you might need to hire a platonic date, you now know that it is quite a practical idea and above all very convenient. It can also be applied to a huge variety of situations and it really gives you the opportunity to broaden your circle of friends.
