Welcome

Doesn’t it just get your goat when people tell you that re-entering the dating world is just like riding a bike? Riding a bike as an adult is scary. What are the rules? Where should you ride? Who has right of way? Why does it make you so exhausted and what bike is the best to ride? And what do I wear to ride said bike? I am here to help you get back on that bike in a safe and comfortable setting where you never have to ride alone. If you live in Canberra then read on as this could be just the thing for you.

Third Wheeling

First of all, this is not about me, The Third Wheel, this is about you!

The founding reasons behind this initiative are based on the countless times I’ve had people say to me, “I just wish I had someone to go to *insert date place* with but I’m not brave enough to do it on my own. I wouldn’t know where to start.”

This is where I can help you. The thought of trying to meet someone new, especially post breakup, can be very daunting for some. You don’t know where to start and for those pre-internet where people met organically like at the Blue Light Disco, what the hell is this Tinder business? Do I need to send rude pics, love emojis (what are these exactly?), and be an online dating guru and hope to God an ex isn’t my match Pina Colada style? Or rely on friends, who are still connected with your past and you don’t feel comfortable sharing this new part of yourself with them?

The aim of The Third Wheel is to be there with you at the start of the first date, to make the introductions and ensure it’s a comfortable situation with good conversation, in a safe environment. Plus the first drink is on me so all you have to do is turn up and look forward to being introduced to someone who could possibly be a good match for you without any pressure.

How it works

The Third Wheel is based in Canberra and aims to take all the pressure of going on a date off you. The service offers a three step approach:

  1. You use the contact form to request The Third Wheel and in the process tell me as much as you want to about yourself, what your interests and values are, what are deal breakers for you and generally what you hope to find in a partner.
  2. I will be in touch with you and once you have completed the questionnaire and payment, I will organise a thirty minute coffee meeting where I will get to know more about you and how I can best assist you in facilitating that amazing first date.
  3. Once I have found a suitable match, I will organise a date for the two of you and will of course be there to greet you both at the start to make the introductions and have a quick drink with you before I take my leave. For all the specifics please read the FAQs.

 

Why this is for you

This is a premium service based in Canberra where you get treated how a great friend would treat you if they knew someone who would be perfect for you. The problem is that most of the time, your actual friends can’t do this because you all know the same people and for various reasons, they are not a fruitful resource.

The Third Wheel is also for you if you are wanting to gently find your confidence again in the world of dating. If you’ve been married for a long time or had a long term partnership and find yourself single and everyone is suddenly swiping right but all you want to do is actually talk and be social then this is a perfect solution for you.

You don’t have to worry about turning up first and not knowing what he or she looks like as I’ll be there to introduce you both. You don’t have to worry about awkward or stilted conversations as I’ll be there at the start to bring out the interesting points about yourselves. Most of all, you don’t have to worry about feeling uncomfortable as it’s my job to ensure the opposite experience.

There is no pressure. I have your best interests at heart and sincerely want to help you meet the right person in an environment that is comfortable and reassuring. This is a dating service with a personal edge because getting back on that bike is scary and I’ll be your training wheels until you’re ready to ride tandem or fly solo.

Get in touch

If this looks like the perfect path for you and you would like to engage The Third Wheel then please fill out the contact form below.

From there I will be in touch with you to explain next steps and payment details. If you are happy to proceed, once I have received your payment I will send you a questionnaire. After I have received this back I will then be in touch to arrange to have our thirty minute consultation meeting at a time that suits you.

I very much look forward to being your Third Wheel and helping you to get back out there and find love!

Aerin.
