3 DATING SHOWS TO WATCH RIGHT NOW

If you’re a sucker for love then these shows are just for you, writes ALYSSIA BIRJALAL

ALL is fair in love and war, and nothing’s different with reality dating shows. From getting help from your family to find Mr Right to hiring a matchmaker to fix your marriage proposal, watch as these lovestruck hopefuls jump at the opportunity to find their soulmates.

Love is Blind – Netflix

In this social experiment, single men and women are looking for love, except they don't actually get to meet in person until they've had a chance to bond from across a wall, literal. It’s dating without the pressure of having to look presentable.

Date My Family Nigeria – Showmax

Family knows best, and that’s why this show is popular. The suitor must first go to dinner with the families of three potential dates and, based on that experience, decide who to go on a couples date with.

Hopefuls must make sure their family presents the perfect picture of them should they like the suitor.

Indian Matchmaking – Netflix

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be set up by a professional matchmaker, then look no further than Indian Matchmaking.

It takes viewers into the homes and hearts of men and women looking to find a life partner through a matchmaker.

Be prepared for lavish dates, extremely picky singles, and old-fashioned nagging from parents. The show offers plenty of drama and uncomfortable conversations.

SIMON BASSETTE, DUKE OF HASTINGS (PLAYED BY REGÉ-JEAN PAGE) FROM BRIDGERTON ON NETFLIX “Perhaps there is an answer… to our collective Lady Whistledown issue. We could pretend to form an attachment. With you on my arm, the world will believe I’ve finally found my duchess. Every presumptuous mother in town will leave me alone, and every suitor will be looking at you. You must know men are always interested in a woman when they believe another, particularly a duke, to be interested as well.”
