In
that time, by my reckoning, you should have quite a few notches
on your bedpost, so to speak.
If
the answer is yes, then you should stop reading now.
If
the answer is no, and your bedpost is smoother than the pint
I had last night, then I have the answer.
Alex
Neill has set up a new website specifically for love-lorn
students at the uni.
Bristol
Romance is a free site, based on successful sister sites in
Cambridge and Oxford, set up by Alex's brother, Richard.
"The
ratio of men to women at Cambridge is something like 5:1,"
Alex told me.
"I
think he might have been looking for a girlfriend, but this
is all good IT experience too.
"He's
very set about not ripping students off, so the site is free
to use, and doesn't have adverts."
Good
on Richard for helping them all out, I say!
"At
the moment we have around 200 people on the Bristol site.
Flowers for the ladies
"We
were outside the Wills Memorial Building handing out flowers
dressed in DJs to promote the website.
"About
150 more people signed up in the past few days after that!"
That's
not bad going, since the website has only been up-and-running
about eight weeks.
Lots
of potential dates at the end of an internet connection ...
In
fact, the original sites in Oxford and Cambridge have seen
two engagements and a marriage.
Surely
that puts even Cilla Black to shame!
It
is easy to sign up to the site, with only a few basic pieces
of information required.
Filling in your profile
"If
you go to the website, you can sign by giving your email address,
and choosing a nickname.
"There's
already a few joke ones going around.
"After
that all you need to do is fill in some basic profile information
out yourself, and what you're looking for."
So,
no excuses now.
If
you are a slow starter on the bed notch front, here's your
saviour!
Good
luck.
