Under Lock and Key: The Next Big Thing for Desi Singles?

Unlock Your Potential….

While these events not exclusively a Desi thing, lock and key parties are proving a fun and fast way for expat Asians to hook up and have really taken off within the Desi singles communities in Britain and America.

The deal goes like this: You sign up, you show up, everyone gets a free drink, then the ladies take a padlock each, while the men grab a key. Everyone circulates trying to find his or her “perfect match” (as with all things in life, there is of course more than one option.) Once a “match” meets, they can flirt with each other for as long as they feel like it, or return to the event HQ, which is situated somewhere in the room and get another key or padlock…

Die-hard romantics need not despair if they don’t “click” with a match in the first five minutes. It’s perfectly acceptable to approach someone on the off chance you might fit and strike up a conversation, and it’s quite possible to meet up to 100 people of the opposite sex at these parties so the odds of finding someone who makes you twinkle are pretty good!

Opening Doors to New Love

At the end of the night, each guest takes a “flirt file” home, from which they can log into the event organizers’ singles website and resume contact with their “matches” by “ticking” them.

If the ticked match has also ticked the ticker, the website then enables users to view all your matches and see a more detailed profile of each – including a photo, to jog the old memory! Matches can then email each other as lockers’ and keyers’ details stay live for around 6 months after the event.

Feeling “Locky”?

It remains a mystery whose bright idea these parties were, but from what I can glean surfing the net, lock and key parties are great enablers for shyer or more reserved singles who like to socialize but may be a little wary of “traditional” one-on-one Internet dating styles. Plenty of Desi singles go to these events and choices and chances of finding love are pretty unlimited as long as you’ve got the stamina to keep on chatting and smiling!
