New York, U.S.A. – It happens to millions of people around the world every day: two people see each other or meet whilst going about their daily business, maybe at the bus stop, or they sit next to each other on a plane, but for whatever reason, despite the mutual attraction, they didn’t get around to asking the other for their contact details. In some cases, they didn’t even spark up a conversation due to unfavorable circumstances or just plain shyness.

In this modern digital age where social media is part of our everyday life, it is possible to contact nearly anyone instantly; but it does beg the question, how do you find someone you wished you had talked to, or did talk to but didn’t get their details, when all you have is circumstances in common? The founders of BlewMyChance.com believe they have the answer to this question, and can match any two people who may be looking for each other, giving hope to millions.

BlewMyChance.com makes it possible for anyone who has experienced such a missing connection or lost opportunity to find the person again based purely on these circumstances. This is achieved by either searching the site for unique identifiers pertaining to the way they saw or met the respective person. If the search draws a blank, they can leave a message called a “pebble message,” complete with photo, describing their version of events. This pebble message is then thrown on the virtual beach for the other to find.

The site is free and lends itself well to people on the move, especially for people taking the same flight. It is, however, ideal for anyone in any situation. “It is extremely exciting and rewarding enabling people to have a second chance,” said Peter Watkin, a spokesman for BlewMyChance.com. “People spend a fortune, not to mention hundreds of hours, trying to find that perfect person on dating websites, and it’s amazing if they do; but to be able to find and have a second chance with the person they have never really stopped thinking about since the moment they saw or met them is fantastic, and potentially life changing.”

The site is very aesthetic and easy to navigate; however, its key to success is its search capabilities. For example, trying to find someone in New York could be like looking for a needle in a haystack; however, because BlewMyChance.com makes it possible to search for any item(s) unique to a particular situation from any section of text entered, meaning that the person searching will always be able to find any message meant for them. One of the sayings at BlewMyChance.com is “you type it, they will find it.” The site concept is a truly magical twist on the online dating scene.

The DDB Life Style Study, the nation’s largest and longest-running annual consumer survey, has revealed insights on the differences between men and women’s perspectives about the significance of Valentine’s Day.

When asked ‘what would upset you more on Valentine’s Day? from a list of choices ranging from receiving a gift you didn’t like, receiving the same gift as last year, receiving a gift card, or receiving just a card, women were far more likely than men to say they would be upset if their spouse or romantic partner did not do anything to acknowledge the day.  Women were almost twice as likely to dwell on this as 51% of female respondents said they would be dismayed compared to only 26% of male respondents.

Moreover, the Life Style Study reveals that this gender difference in attitude also prevails regardless of marital or dating status. However, it appears that if you are married, acknowledging the day is not nearly as tantamount as it is if you are dating someone.

22% of married men vs. 32% of men living with someone in a relationship vs. 39% of men dating somebody but not living with them would be upset if their partner did not acknowledge the day at all.

47% of married women vs. 63% of women living with someone in a relationship vs. 66% of women dating somebody but not living with them would be upset if their partner did not acknowledge the day at all.

These statistics not only corroborate the finding that women place a greater emphasis on the significance of acknowledging Valentine’s day than men, but also that both genders view acknowledging the day as an important barometer of how their romantic partner feels about them.  Therefore, people in committed, long-term relationships view the holiday differently than those in newer, more casual relationships.

The Life Style Study also confirms that a similar sentiment holds true even for women who are not currently dating someone.  51% of non-dating women vs. 28% of non-dating men still feel that they would be upset if their future spouse or romantic partner didn’t do anything to acknowledge the day.
