"Nobody likes to manifest something going wrong but when it comes to the world of app-based dating, it isn’t unwise to choose a public space with some aggressive wildlife. Just in case they’re a catfish. Or, worse, listening to The Diary Of A CEO when you meet them. Victoria Park’s idyllic pond is a lovely middle-ground meeting point for everyone and Pavilion Cafe is a spot that’s as good for a sit-down Sri Lankan-style breakfast by the water, as it is for a coffee and a stroll around the park. There are also pedalos and rowing boats close by—depending on if you’re envisioning a Bridget Jones-style anecdote or a low-level 007 escape." - rianne shlebak, jake missing
