😘 A Word From the Team
Hey lovebirds,
With the SG 2025 GE behind us, we thought it’d be a good time to pause and get to know our readers a little better through our own polls.
When we first started @dateideas, it was just a small channel for sharing fun events, quirky date ideas, and relationship hacks. But thanks to you, it’s grown into something more – a small but passionate team working behind the scenes.
We know you sometimes see ads, and we just want to say thanks for sticking with this scrappy, independent media brand. It helps us keep the lights on, pay the bills, but more importantly, keep bringing you the fresh, fun content you love. Because this is our full-time thing now, no big backers, just us and the ideas we believe in.
So, we’d love to hear from you. Tell us a bit about yourselves. What stage you’re at in your relationship, the kind of content you want to see more of, and what keeps you coming back to @dateideas.
🦦 And hey, we’re not just here to ask questions – if you’ve got a story, a thought, or a date hack to share, hit us up at @theottersidesg. We’re all ears.
💕 With Love,
@dateideas (and the guy behind it)
