It was 5:30 p.m. on a pleasant Chennai evening last month.\u00a0 A dear, 23-year-old friend of mine was out on a date with her longtime boyfriend, when an untoward incident happened: They were subject to moral policing by a high-handed policeman.\u00a0 Let me point out that they were out in the open, at a popular public beach, and the sun was still out \u2013 not that it should matter even if it were dark.\u00a0 They were aware that this is Chennai, not Miami, so picture fully-clothed beach-goers, rather than bikini and shorts-clad youngsters.\u00a0 Moreover, far from doing any hanky-panky, there were not indulging in any public display of affection, what with families, other youngsters, and children around.\u00a0 Why, they were not even holding hands.\u00a0 They were just sitting near each other and talking.<\/p>\n

They were approached by this uniformed, on-duty policeman who demanded outright that they explain what they were doing together at the beach, how they were related to each other, and whether their parents were aware of their being at the beach together.<\/p>\n

This was a first for them in more than three years of their dating. \u00a0It was only natural for them to wonder, what is wrong about two consenting adults being out on a date?\u00a0 While talk of \u201cdating\u201d may have conservatives in India up in arms about \u201ccorrosive western influences,\u201d fact\u00a0is that the desire for companionship is universal and Indian society has had its own established courtship rituals long before MTV hit our airwaves.\u00a0 For instance, have you not known of children being used as carrier pigeons to ferry love notes between smitten neighbors?<\/p>\n

If anything, in our collectivistic culture, in which\u00a0\u201cWhat would people say?!\u201d matters, subtlety has been a virtue and many a romance has blossomed in secret.<\/p>\n

Guess what?\u00a0 It is 2016 and we are living in a global village, such that the concept of dating is not taboo among young adults in Tier 1 and even Tier 2 Indian cities. \u00a0In the Indianized version of dating, today, dating may be widely viewed as a station on the way\u00a0to matrimony.\u00a0 However, that does not give anybody the license to question what a couple\u2019s intentions\u2014whether short-term or long-term\u2014or the extent of their commitment may be.<\/p>\n

Returning to the friendly neighborhood policeman: Not content with the polite answers to his questions, he ordered my friend and her partner to leave the beach.\u00a0 When asked on what grounds, he threatened to confiscate their phones to inform their parents.\u00a0 Not wanting to create a scene, they left quietly.<\/p>\n

\"Police<\/a>
Alex Bowyer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Would you rather have police officers evoke a sense of security among young couples, or be seen as a menace that preys on them and, as is often the case, demands hush money? \u00a0(Upon learning that\u00a0I was working on this article, a colleague talked about being similarly accosted when he and his then-girlfriend\u00a0\u2013 now wife\u00a0\u2013 were parked by Marina Beach and having some snacks inside his car, with one door open. \u00a0300 rupees is what he coughed up to the harassing cop, only because he and his girlfriend were not ready to announce their relationship to family and didn’t want the situation to get escalated.) \u00a0What gives khaki-clad cops, or any self-proclaimed defender of \u201cIndian values,\u201d the right to trample on a couple\u2019s rights to peaceful public assembly?<\/p>\n

You would have thought that this was a couple dating in hyper-conservative, Taliban-run Kabul and not \u201ccosmopolitan\u201d Chennai. \u00a0Lest we forget, Chennai is one of the top five cities in India, both in terms of size and population. Popularly known as the land of temples and filter coffee, Chennai is also the largest cultural, educational, and economic center in south India. \u00a0Arguably the Indian metro that offers the best quality of life, it\u00a0was the only Indian city to feature on The New York Times\u2019 list of 52 Places to Go in 2014<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(it was #26), on Lonely Planet\u2019s list of Top Ten Cities for 2015<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(#9), and National Geographic\u2019s recent list of the Top 10 Food Cities<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(#2) in the world.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get this right: I can have my finger inked and decide who gets to run the country, but I can\u2019t be out with someone holding hands?\u00a0 We have the choice today to swipe right or left\u2014again with that same finger\u2014and decide whom to date, but it all has to be hush-hush?!\u00a0 If that\u2019s how you feel, let me show you another finger!<\/p>\n

\"When<\/a>
CAFNR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At Jodi365<\/a>, we understand that young adults like to hang out with friends and meet dates at cinemas, malls, restaurants, cafes, clubs, and other public spaces.\u00a0 We\u2019d rather that they spent time together in the relative comfort and secure environs of such places than be compelled to seek out more private but less-safe options.<\/p>\n

To that end, here is a compilation of some suitable\u00a0dating places in and around Chennai that you can go to, hopefully in peace! \u00a0Do write in with your thoughts, especially if you have a run-in with the moral police.<\/p>\n

Chennai Dating: Sites to See and Places to Take in<\/h1>\n

Breaking a sweat together is said to turn up the heat in relationships. What better idea for an adrenaline-pumping date than getting on a catamaran with your loved one and heading two kilometers into the sea? Put your life jackets on, take a plunge, and float around in the middle of the seemingly bottomless sea. Make sure you find an organization with an official sanction and follow their safety instructions.<\/p>\n

3. Dinner at Mahabalipuram\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Dinner<\/a>

Take your date on a 100-kilometer ride from Chennai to see flocks of pink flamingos along the vast stretches of bluer-than-blue waters of the Pulicat Lake. For more rare bird-sightings, take your partner out on a boating expedition on the shimmering lagoon waters of the Bay of Bengal.<\/p>\n

5. Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Vedanthangal<\/a>

Elliot\u2019s Beach or Besant Nagar beach as it is popularly known, is an ideal couples\u2019 hangout with multitudes of restaurants and cafes that cater to every palate. Re-live childhood memories by playing in the water or splitting a cotton candy, or get cozy on the not-so-giant ferris wheel which gives you a beautiful view of the sea stretching endlessly in front of you.<\/p>\n

8. Alamparai Fort<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Alamparai<\/a>

Remains of an old fort from the Mughal times with a spectacular view overlooking the lagoon and the Bay of Bengal beyond, Alamparai Fort is a beautiful place for a date. The otherworldly air around the fort will give you the\u00a0feeling of having time-traveled.<\/p>\n
