Stop Auditioning → Start Imagining
Traditional dating often puts two people across a table asking silent questions:
Do I like them? Do they like me?
CoCreate Dating changes the question.
Instead of making yourself or the other person the entire focus of the date, put something interesting between you: an idea, a project, a problem, a skill you want to learn, or simply two different things you each enjoy doing in the same place.
Maybe you discover that you both love travel, learning, and teaching. Instead of merely talking about those interests, you might ask:
Could we make a walking tour? A travel guide? A scavenger hunt?
Or perhaps you don’t want to work on the same thing at all. One of you writes while the other paints. One studies while the other designs a game. You keep each other company, exchange ideas when useful, and see what develops.
The point isn’t to manufacture romance.
It’s to create a setting in which you can see more of the person than you might see across a dinner table. How curious are they? Do they listen? Do they encourage? Can they laugh when something goes wrong? What happens when neither of you knows the answer?
And if romance doesn’t develop, the date doesn’t have to be a failure.
You may have made something. Learned something. Helped one another. Found a collaborator. Made a friend. Or simply spent a good afternoon in interesting company.
CoCreate Dating replaces “Are you the one?” with a much more open question:
What might we create — and what might we become to each other along the way?
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the mission of CoCreateDate.com?
To help people form richer relationships by creating alongside one another instead of beginning with mutual evaluation.
Is CoCreateDate.com a dating website.
No. We promote an idea and a philosophy. We encourage experimentation and report on how others have deepened relationships through cocreation. And we offer resources you can use to signal you are a CoCreator on your dating profile, at work, or even just walking around. But we arev not a matching platform. This is not a business; it is a passion project of one man, who you can learn about here.
Is this only for singles?
Absolutely not. We promote connection through creation rather than merely consumption. We would like to see more cocreation for all types of people, not just couples pursuing romance. And couples who are already together might refresh their relationship by making a date to co-create.
