A singleton was inundated when she demanded men send a 500-word essay applying to date with her - but is still looking for love. Lauren Kempton, 36, wrote a post on her Hinge dating profile as a "bit of a joke" - requesting anyone who wanted to date her had to send an application first.
Fed up of "horrendous" dating experiences after two years of being single, the mum-of-one asked men to "write a 500-word essay on how you will not waste any time". Lauren got several responses - including a stand-out application from one man who even made an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Despite going on a date with the 'winning' match, she said it never took off and she remains single - and is now taking time away from dating apps.
Lauren, who works for a skincare clinic, said: "I've had mostly really bad experiences with the dating apps - the culture of dating online is shocking. I've had some awful dates, but mostly it's boring - the same old conversations.
