<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christmas is just a few week’s away, and how great would it be to spend it with family and that special someone? But wait! You say you have no special someone because you’re too busy focusing on your career right now?<\/span><\/p>\n Don’t lie to yourself.\u00a0No matter how often you say this, a tiny part of you still wants to dive into the dating scene. There\u2019s absolutely no shame in that. The goodness that\u00a0companionship gives\u00a0isn\u2019t something to be underestimated \u2014 otherwise, we wouldn\u2019t be going out of our way trying to meet new people, having our friends set us up, and we definitely would not be using apps like Tinder.<\/span><\/p>\n But dipping your toes in the dating scene can be just as hard, sometimes\u00a0harder than looking for a job. If you do happen to be looking for both a job and a date at the same time, no doubt it\u2019s going to be stressful. If you already have a job and you\u2019re looking for a partner to complete the picture… well, it could still be stressful either way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s always the option of taking your time and going with the flow but, if you\u2019re at that point where seeking seems like a good idea, why not try\u00a0Diptyc.ph?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Launched early this October 2015, Diptyc.ph is the Philippines\u2019 first exclusive online dating site for professionals. Diptyc is a Greek word meaning two artworks hinged together \u2014 and that\u2019s what they\u2019re about. The site seeks to bring together driven professionals and hopefully transform them into friends, colleagues, business partners, and maybe more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In an interview, founder and CEO Jean-Jacques Lafon says, \u201ca lot of people still think dating sites are for people who are \u2018desperately looking for love\u2019 \u2013 Diptyc is simple all about connecting likeminded people who you would not necessarily cross paths with in your real life. It\u2019s about making your network a lot bigger.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Diptyc calls itself \u2018exclusive,\u2019 not just so that they can remove the stigma of online dating, but because there really is a feel of the community being handpicked.<\/span><\/p>\n Because of its exclusivity, signing up isn’t an easy process too.\u00a0There are a couple interesting\u00a0<\/span>questions you have to answer like\u00a0“What is your biggest goal in life right now,”<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0“If you had to go back to school or learn a new skill, what would you want to learn?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n The lengthy sign up is just as much for the site as it is for you. Lafon says,\u00a0<\/span>\u201cthe sign up process is for our existing members to be able to screen the new sign ups and decide whether Diptyc is the right community for you.”<\/span><\/p>\n When you do finish your profile, it’ll\u00a0be up for\u00a0review from current members and a few votes to finally be awarded membership. But o<\/span>nce you get in, rest\u00a0assured that your experience would be a whole lot different from other dating sites. See what we mean by these screenshots from their website.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 On the \u201cLast Night\u201d tab, users share what they did the previous evening, giving you a little bit more of an idea of what they enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n Under \u201cOpinions,\u201d people answer more questions that you can possibly use as kick-starters to great conversations. Questions range from \u201cI<\/span>f you could travel anywhere, where?\u201d\u00a0<\/i>to\u00a0“If you won a million dollars, what\u2019s the first thing you would buy?\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n On the \u201cDates\u201d part of the site, you get to propose a date. If there\u2019s something you\u2019ve been meaning to try but can\u2019t seem to get anyone to go with you, maybe you\u2019ll find it at Diptyc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In here, it\u2019s all about the conversation. On their\u00a0blog, Diptyc champions online dating even more by sharing why they think you should give online dating another chance.<\/span><\/p>\n “<\/span>Online dating is simple\u2014it connects you with other people outside your circle. Nothing more, nothing less\u2026 You never know, you might just be lucky enough to meet a special someone\u2014someone who’d\u00a0end up as a close friend, or a business partner, or a professional connection, or even the person who would make you all\u00a0kilig<\/em>\u00a0again.”<\/span><\/p>\n Christmas is just a few week’s away, and how great would it be to spend it with family and that special someone? But wait! You say you have no special someone because you’re too busy focusing on your career right now?
