Welcome to
"Love at First Checkout"
Welcome to "Love at First Checkout" where your weekly shop becomes a fruity adventure of blind dating between the supermarket shelves. This is the chance meeting you prayed for that turns an ordinary shopping trip into a mystery scavenger hunt with the hopes to match carts and hearts and a chance of a juicy romance, and a supermarket love story.
So what is this new dating craze...?
Supermarket blind dating is not a new trend perse, it was first discovered in the early 2000s, where a single banana facing upwards in your shopping trolley meant that you are single and ready to mingle. That 1 single banana was the green light to start a flirty fruity conversation that was not birthed from a dating app.
More than ever singles are looking for organic ways to meet their forever person in real life and to move away from the dating app swipe culture for experiences that are more soul driven and fulfilling such as run clubs, salsa dancing, and other hobby-based events that bring a deeper sense of connection and purpose.
​
Now that supermarket blind dating has resurfaced, I decided to make the journey so much easier and simplified for you to join in, as so many singles who have learnt about this cheeky new way to date were feeling left out in the cold and unsure of how it all works...
Get ready to enter a new dating revolution that offers a more unified and streamlined way to meet singles in real life. I mean, who doesn't fantasize, about meeting your forever human by chance in the supermarket?
​
Please make sure you keep reading, as I am about to squeeze the juice on the new 2024 version of supermarket blind dating.
Let's go Shopping...
​​
​
So how does supermarket
blind dating work?
Firstly, you should know that "Love at First Checkout" is FREE to participate in and all it involves is you rocking up to your local supermarket on the allocated day and time set for your age category or at an allocated supermarket for a coordinated event hosted by Fit4Love.
You will then grab a trolley and will place the following fruit somewhere in plain sight for your future forever human to see, preferably in the little top basket area where you might put your shopping bags, this is to help signal that you are open to being approached for a conversation, all other fruits that you purchase for your regular shop should be placed in the bottom of your trolley as a way to not cause confusion.
Below is how you will secretly promote your single status.
​
1 Single Banana:
Ends pointing up = Single and Ready to date
1 Watermelon:
Represents you are from the LGBTIQA community a watermelon is now officially your universal code that you are single and ready to mingle.
​
A little fruity fact:
Peaches are the universal fruit to say that you think someone is peachy. The original supermarket blind dating experiment had singles offer a peach to show their interest. When I heard about that method, I kind of cringed a little and thought surely there is a better way to connect and sneakily show your interest, not to mention peaches are seasonal which leaves the window to date a lot smaller if we are relying on peaches to be our wingman/wingwoman.
My solution...?
Welcome to "Hello" prefilled love notes, they are the perfect way to show a potential match that you are interested in getting to know them beyond the supermarket shelves or the gym. With the love note you simply prefill the card with your Deets on them, then place the love note into your potential matches trolley or you can hand it to them personally, it is that simple and it adds a mysterious and nostalgic touch to the connection, consider the love note a memento to remind you both of when you first met.​​
​
It is time to get your flirt on as the chosen fruits above are your green light to break the ice and begin your connected conversation, remember confidence is sexy so just have fun, and go with it.
​
Thursdays are the universal day to shop for love
Late night Shopping Done Differently...
Each week on a Thursday Afternoon/Night you will have two opportunities to participate in "Love at First Checkout" to meet your future forever human.
1.The first way will be in your own age category.
2.The second in an open all ages category.
Or you could attend both.... Let's be real we all know that there are always things that we forget to buy in our first shopping trip, now you will have more incentive to go back and grab it.
​
The allocated fruits below represent your age category when you display your allocated fruit along with your single banana or watermelon you are letting your potential forever human know the age category that you represent and would like to date.
PLEASE NOTE: Adding your age category fruit to your shopping trolley for all eyes to see is just another way to help increase your chances of being seen by the right person, it is completely your choice if you would like to add this extra step in, so if you are someone who is all about investing your time in meeting the right people then this will be a great extra step for you to take and will help filter your matches.
​
To recap here are your flirty fruity steps:
​
1 SINGLE BANANA:
-
Ends pointing up = Single and ready to date.
-
Add your age category fruit next to your banana to increase your dating chances.
-
Pre-filled peachy 'Hello" love notes ready to hand out to show your interest.
1 WATERMELON:
-
Represents you are from the LGBTIQA community and are single and ready to date.
-
Add your age category fruit next to your watermelon to increase your dating chances.
-
Pre-filled peachy 'Hello" love notes ready to hand out to show your interest.
​
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If any of your fruits are out of season or sold out simply replace with products that are frozen, tinned or bottled instead, remembering that you must place your fruits in the top basket of your trolley for all the potential singles to see.​​
