The Re Date, also referred to as a déjà vu date, is a new dating phenomenon widely embraced by singles today. Dusting off your little black book and reconnecting with people you've dated in the past, is now deemed both smart and comfortable, as well as a ‘no-brainer’ and a ‘second chance at love’. Webster might define a Re Date as "an engagement to go out socially, again, with a person from your past, as in: someone you dated - previously. Second chance.” Everyone knows there are myriad reasons dating couples break up, split up, detach, disappear, and slip away. There are a million stories in the dated city. The concept of a Re Date introduces the benefit of already knowing a person and realizing, perhaps you were too rash, at first blush. If at first you don’t succeed, Re Date. Erik E. has been called a ‘perpetual bachelor’. He has a Blackberry, a little black book and a Rolodex filled with a plethora of names of women he has dated in the past. Let's just say he has been a man-about-town for a decade. Or two. He said Re Dating is like a romantic breakthrough where you realize you may have passed up a potential love-of-your life, by mistake, and you want to heartily connect, again. It has been said, loudly and often, that scrolling through pages of pictures and profiles on the on line dating sites is very similar to a never-ending buffet line or jaunt through a candy store. The problem: there is such a wide assortment, it stultifies. Both men and women get overwhelmed, minds get muddled and hearts go thump in the night. Mistakes are made and we all think about the one who got away. The answer: Re Date. Give it a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
