Hyderabad: With IRL dating back on the scene, some Tinder members have a new wingmate to help them find their match. Pet parents are amping up their profiles with pictures of their adorable furry friends, who are helping their humans find someone they can vibe to the max with.

Apart from being as cute as they are, did you know that pets are also the perfect companions for a first date? According to the Future of Dating report, first dates are more about activities than icebreakers. Instead of looking for the perfect conversation starter, why not bring your wingmate along and let their cuteness do the talking for you!

To find your ‘purrfect’ match, head on over to ‘Animal Parents’ in Explore – Tinder’s hottest new venue where members can navigate potential connections and match with someone who loves animals just as much as you do.

And once you do, here are 5 ideas for what you can do with your match and pets on your first date:

Stay in and watch animal movies: Our furry friends enjoy watching themselves on-screen just as much as we do, so movies like Madagascar, Underdog, Zookeeper, Cats & Dogs, etc., are all good options to have a feel-good evening snuggling in with your pets and your match.

Go on a walk/hike: All dogs (and some cats too) love going on long walks. While you walk your respective pets and ensure that they won’t make a mess when you are back home, talk to your match and get to know them better. Maybe as the leashes of your pets entangle while you walk together, so will both of your paths.

Eat at a pet-friendly restaurant/cafe: There are many pet-friendly cafes open across India, and you can always have a fancy dinner date with your pets. Doll them up with their own outfits so they feel just as on fleek as you two on your date.

Paint with your pets: Who said pets can’t paint? Just put some paint on a canvas, cover it with clingfilm, and put your pet’s favourite lickable treat on top, and watch them create art with you as they lick away! Not only do you get to watch your pets act adorable together, you also have a painting at the end to remember your first date. Isn’t that just purrfect?

Go for a picnic in a pet-friendly park: Set down your wicker basket and checkered tablecloth on the grass and enjoy a blissful picnic on a pleasant evening with your pets freely running around due to a case of the zoomies.
