Football is the most important thing in the world for many fans. Those who aren’t obsessed with it are at least in love with the game and everything surrounding it. Yet, most don’t know their hobby can help them find real love.
And is there anything better than dating a fellow football fan?
We know. That’s a dream. So this article should show football fans how to use their favorite sport to get more dates.
Take Advantage of Online Dating
Have you heard of the Football Manager video game?
We know, silly question. Do you know how long it takes to find a perfect player? First, you figure out what position you want him to play. Then, there are statistics about everything to help managers make decisions.
Online dating sites are similar.
If someone wants to hook up today, they should join a local hookup site to surround themselves with other singles who live in the area and share the same desires. Joining a global love-seeking platform would be like looking for a CB among CFs.
However, similarities between Football Manager and seeking love don’t stop there. Dating platforms encourage their members to finish their profiles not only because the community looks stupid if no one has a profile picture and description…
There’s a deeper reason.
Members who finish their profiles give more info to the algorithm so it can suggest better matches. And… That allows members to check each other, which reduces the number of futile chats.
How? Would you, a football fan, send a message to someone whose description says – “All Sports Are Stupid.”
No, of course not.
Online dating is a tool that can save time and energy while looking for love. It makes it clear if people have anything in common. Then, once two fans start chatting, they know they’ll never run out of topics because there’s always a game somewhere.
Join a Fan Club
But love for football can be a foundation for a romantic relationship, even if it doesn’t start online. Becoming one of the regulars in every game of your favorite club is good.
But you can also join a fan club. Each club has one of those, and they usually gather people with at least one thing in common – love for football.
In many cases, that’s enough to start a conversation. Once the conversation starts flowing and fans start exchanging stories, nights last less than a half-time of a football game.
Visit Popular Sports Bars and Pubs
Almost every club has more fans than their stadium can fit. Many clubs have fans living far away from their home field. Does that mean fans don’t hang out?
Please.
Sports bars and pubs are among the most popular places in most cities and towns. People love sports. Football is the most famous sport in the world.
There are football fans everywhere. So it’s not surprising that many love stories between fans start over a pint of beer somewhere.
Social Media Might Help
When Facebook came out, everyone younger than 100 used it as a dating app. That was a great time. But it ended. Most people don’t seek love on Facebook.
Yet… Meta is not the only social media platform in the world. And forum-based social media such as Reddit and Quora are even better for football fans because we can discuss topics we like (instead of topics Facebook groups and pages choose for us).
It’s vital to mention that most people who join a discussion about football don’t want you to slide into their DMs. It’s not wise to approach forums with the same dose of aggression towards the goal as it’s recommended on local hookup sites.
Always keep in mind someone’s intentions. If you clash with them, you can’t win. So, those who seek love through football forums should focus on creating bonds first and converting those bonds into dates later.
Of course, there’s a risk of falling into a friend zone for everyone who takes that approach, so in the end, it’s probably better to look for love on sites where people log in to get dates, not join discussions about the latest offside mistake a ref has made in Champions League.
Football Charity Events
We left the most noble activity for the end. All activities above are win-win situations. You get to meet a football fan, and you get to date.
But charity events turn that into a win-win-win situation. Single fans have good chances to meet and start dating while helping a greater cause.
Another benefit of meeting a partner at a football charity event is knowing they donate to charity, which is always a good sign.
We don’t have to tell you how fun watching a football game with someone you love is. But hopefully, this article will help you achieve that.
