Love match
“I am open to playing double for life,” explains Belinda Huang, only one twenty things that enjoy relationships develop in the tennis court. She is a member of TMAC, a club that welcomes tennis matches and off -field social activities. Seeing the same faces week after week allows friendships, and sometimes to love, to evolve organically, she says, without the pressure of a first date frame.
The founder of Tmac, Prince Boucher, says it best: “The game is the path; Love is the goal. Although TMAC has not been created as a meeting center, its emphasis on pleasure, inclusiveness and the community has led to many relationships. The club has around 1,000 rotating members.
For those who do not actively seek romance, TMAC is always a social rescue buoy. A member, who only gave her first name, MJ, shared that she had never used dating applications and preferred to meet people through shared activities. “It’s refreshing to connect something you both like rather than trying to force a spark through a screen.”
Sean Lee and Jina Zhu were already a couple when they joined Tmac, but they were inspired to have a proposal on the theme of tennis thanks to the group. The ring was hidden in a personalized tennis ball box.
