When it comes to dating, I’ve tried every kind of matchmaking method you could imagine: dating apps, speed-dating, slow-dating and even no-date dating. Consequently, I’ve suffered from date-app fatigue and repetitive disappointment. So I’m the perfect person for a new dating trend: the Pear ring.
Pear rings aim to return the hunt for romance back to that golden era before swiping, griping and ghosting
For a one-off payment of £19.99 you get three Pear rings – turquoise–coloured ring bands of different sizes – which, when worn in public, signal to other single people that you are open to being approached. The Pear rings aim to end our dependence on dating apps and return the hunt for romance back to real life.
Remember real life? That golden era before swiping, griping and getting ghosted? When people had face-to-face conversations? Ah yes, I remember them well. Across some crowded room eyes would meet and hearts would beat and you’d shoot your best line to the beautiful stranger – and get told to ‘piss off’ as they’re already spoken for.
