James Vestbirk, founder of Kissinggates.com, returned to BBC Radio Lincolnshire this morning, earlier than previous mid-morning shows to talk to Rod Whiting about online dating and general news stories.
The amusing stories included James’ depicting how he nearly saw a lion which later turned out to be a domestic cat-this relating to a story on the Lincolnshire Black Panther which is said to roam the Wolds.
Lincolnshire is a very appropriate location to discuss online dating because of it’s rural nature and recent loss of rural services such as pubs and post offices. However this is a nationwide problem, the good news is Internet access is slowly improving in rural areas giving way for new services for countryside dating websites. The safety issues around online dating were discussed as well as the process of online dating. A listener text in and commented on some pictures not being of real people on other dating sites, we have developed a system where by members can take a picture of themselves within Kissinggates.com on their own web cam, we then date and time verify this picture which proves it’s authenticity. James also clarified this is a rural themed dating website which is a country friends finder as well as an online dating site.
The wider rural issues surrounding farming were also discussed, James Vestbirk is a third generation farmer with a good understanding of the issues surrounding farming and rural industry and it was really nice to talk through these with Rod.
