Too busy to date? Hire a professional to plan your dates or de-bachelorize your home

Is your busy schedule interfering with your love life? Have you been trying to set up a date with a new love interest for weeks but just haven't found the time to arrange something really special? Or have you and the love of your life fallen into a dating rut?

Enter the "dating concierge". For a nominal fee, the "dating concierge" will take care of all the time-consuming details that consume an already-busy person's time, and plan a date for them, reports The Daily. They can hunt down reservations to that hot new wine bar. Or perhaps you're more interested in one of the wacky, off-beat dates they feature on dating shows — swimming with dolphins?

The bottom line is, people seem to be so busy that taking care of their love lives falls to the wayside. As such, businesses are springing up that cater to the busy professional who have just barely managed to find the time to meet someone, much less take care of the life details that go along it.

Rene Melanson, the lead design at Design4Love -- an interior design firm that caters to bachelors who are looking to de-bachelorize their spaces -- says the designers in her company find themselves doing a lot of de-cluttering for their Vancouver-area clients. Many a gaming console and electric guitar are removed from the middle of the living room floor.

"The classic is the mattress on the floor, tennis balls on the coffee table, no hand towels, that sort of thing," she says. "So basically we make it a little bit less scary for prospective date. We do a lot of sourcing for linens because bachelors don't tend to focus on linens as much as they should — a lot of comforters, no sheets. We have a clean-team that can also come in."

Melanson says that most of her clients are busy professional men who are either just coming out of a relationship — and lost most of their furniture to their ex — or who are starting a relationship with someone new. Her team of designers will come into a bachelor's space and give it a once-over from a female's perspective.

And while they've not been asked to create a design for a specific date, they would certainly consider it, says Melanson.

"We just haven't received those requests. No one has has ever asked, can you do the inside of my apartment in a carnival theme?"
