Signing up to a dating platform to meet other singles is becoming an increasingly popular leisure activity. Dating sites are designed to give members every chance of being matched with someone compatible. But you never know who you might encounter on these outlets – you could just as easily fall for an individual with differing hobbies. What if you’re a WWE wrestling fan and you want to impress a prospective partner with a trip to an event? Oasis dating site Australia have asked the same question and here is top 5 tips based on their professional opinion and an internal poll which they’ve conducted among their users in order to answer this question.
Do pre-planning
What would be one of the worst possible outcomes when taking your date to a WWE event? Not leaving enough time to get to the event, or failing to take into account road diversions, train delays, or other travel disruption, resulting in you arriving late and missing the start? There would be an even worse scenario. If you arrive late, you’ll still be able to shuffle into your pre-bought seats. But imagine arriving at the doors only to discover you’ve left your tickets in a drawer at home? While the door staff might sympathize, without proof of purchase there is no way they’d let you inside, as this would impinge health and safety regulations. Solution: always ensure everything you’ll require, entry tickets to cash for refreshments, is prepared.
Time your breaks
Nothing will hamper your enjoyment of the event more than having to rush off to the restroom in the middle of an exciting tag bout, or getting stuck in queues at the refreshment stands just as your team is about to make their appearance in the ring. Ensure you allow ample time for any departures from your seat. Make your way to the hot dog or beer kiosks long before the event is due to start. Although taking on board the on-site refreshments can be a key part of the afternoon’s entertainment, if you want to devote all your attention to the wrestling bouts, it might be a good idea to dine first, then go to the stadium where you can focus on the fun.
Follow the storylines
Anyone who is into WWE will appreciate there is so much more to these encounters than just various people clambering onto a ring to indulge in theatrical posturing and wrestling. There are storylines, involving alter-egos pursuing separate agendas. It would make sense to have some awareness of where the different larger-than-life characters fit into the overall picture. Learn the back-stories. That way, neither of you will feel compelled to be asking too many questions when you should both be concentrating on the action.
Consider the trappings
Do you want to concentrate on making the most of your romantic connection, or should you prioritize the event itself? This depends on how fanatical either of you happens to be about your WWE appreciation. If you’re quite happy going for the whole spectacle, the placard designing and waving, the roaring at the competitors, the joining in the chanting, the booing, and hissing, then doing it in tandem is always an excellent way of increasing the chemistry between you.
Always put your date first
Remember, even if you are both dedicated to WWE, you should always put each other first. Say your partner isn’t feeling all that well and announces they’d rather depart the arena sooner rather than later. Much as you might feel a little annoyed, never reveal this to be the case. Your significant other’s comfort and wellbeing are far more important than whatever happens to be unfolding on the canvas in front of you. Just remind yourself that there will be other events.
