Offline Dating

Are you frustrated by London's dating game? Tired of searching endlessly online for ‘the one’?

BAFTA-nominated director Samuel Abrahams of Blink created this clever short film to document how persistent his single friend Tom was in securing a date offline.

Following Tom’s struggles to pick up the ladies, the cute and quirky spot sees him in increasingly desperate situations on his quest to connect.

Tom proves he will stop at nothing for love - from almost getting beaten up to approaching girls in the park, girls with boyfriends, interrupting girls on Tinder dates and even approaching girls while jogging.

Eventually he scores two dates - one with a roller disco pizza lover and another with an endearing Italian lady he meets in the newsagents. 

The spot works well because it is relatable and we sympathise with Tom in his efforts.

But ironically, it just proves how difficult it is to breakthrough the British culture as ultimately, only the foreign female is willing to accept him into her life - so perhaps it's best that the rest of us stick to online dating.
