How to embrace “open casting” in your dating life

So you’ve decided to open-cast for your next date. How do you get started? The first step is to accept that this may be very different to what you are used to and try to embrace this new approach.

“You will come across types of people that you would not have connected with before and therefore will not used to this, but accept this and enjoy it,” says Johnson.

Rowland-Jones agrees. “It’s so important to be open-minded when you are looking through dating profiles. Remind yourself there is so much more to a successful partnership than physical attraction, and carefully read what they have to say to find out if you share those all-important values, interests and lifestyle that suggest compatibility,” she says.

“It’s all about being realistic about what’s important to you and building strong foundations for a relationship that will last, rather than basing a search for love purely on physical attraction or personality traits you view as essential. You may find it refreshing to date outside your normal type, enjoying plenty of fun and interesting dates with the sort of person you’d usually overlook.”

Fed up of always dating the same type? This is why you need to try “open casting” in 2023
