Get matched up by COLAtoday + Five Points

Being single in Cola can be hardor so we remember. (Our entire team is #wifedup – but trust us, we’ve been there.) Remember when we asked y’all what dating in Cola is like?

“Cola Tinder game is pretty weak, but Bumble is alright.”Mary …the rest kind of went on just like that. (It’s hard dating in 2018.)

With February approaching (a.k.a. the month of love), we’re teaming up with our partner Five Points to play COLAcupid for a blind date matchup on Valentine’s Day. Love is in the air.

Send us the most eligible bachelor/bachelorette you know (by next Friday, Feb. 9) with: ✔ name, ✔ age, ✔ gender preference, ✔ job, ✔ photo + ✔ why they should be picked for our blind date matchup. You know you have a single friend that is 👏 such 👏 a 👏 catch and needs to get out there… or maybe you’re the most eligible single you know. Go for it.

Email submissions to hello@colatoday.com, or DM us on Facebook or Instagram.

In the end, up to six of Cola’s finest will be paired up by the COLAtoday team for a romantic one-on-one date on Valentine’s Day (on-the-house, courtesy of Five Points) with dinner at one of our favorite fine-dining spots (like Saluda’s, Mr. Friendly’s or Cellar on Greene) + drinks afterwards (somewhere like Speakeasy, Goat’s or Jake’s). 🍸
