We have the tools to help!
It’s no secret that the state of modern dating is at an all-time low. Swipe fatigue is up, ghosting is off the charts, and the situation is so bleak that ‘celibacy’ is trending on TikTok. In times like these, it’s possible that those who still believe in romance may have simply resigned themselves to lowered expectations. But where some see low standards, others see a healthy challenge. With a little optimism one could believe that maybe, just maybe, they have what it takes to fix someone. Will it be worth the investment in the end? Who knows. But some people will put up with just about anything to avoid a lifetime of putting on a duvet cover alone.
No one appreciates the hard work that goes into DIY projects more than Taskrabbit, and this Valentine’s Day, we want to celebrate all the brave lovers who settled for a fixer-upper. We know you worked hard to teach them that Portugal isn’t in South America and that underwear isn’t clean if you just turn a dirty pair inside out. You taught them about face wash, therapy, and separating whites when doing laundry. Now, it’s time for you to get a little TLC (because let’s be honest, they can’t even book a reservation on OpenTable without your help). In the spirit of St. Valentine, we created a menu of extra-special offerings to take some of the fixing off your to-do list:
- Build a bed frame
- Clear the empty bottles out of the bedroom
- Get the hair off the wall of the shower
- Mount a shelf for their action figure collection (love is about compromise)
- Properly frame and hang that Ocean’s Twelve poster taped to the wall
- Deep clean that damp, damp bathroom (because your partner, “doesn’t believe in shower curtains”)
- Crumb removal from bed sheets
For all of you braving the road of modern dating, we salute you! To heck with what your therapist, mother, close friends, and that gossipy cashier said about your significant other—this relationship is worth it. Love wins!
Happy Valentine’s Day,
Taskrabbit
