Are You Tired Of Swiping Right?

You are not alone! Dating-app burnout is REAL … mindless scrolling and failed, dating attempts lead to outright exhaustion.

When did dating become a chore, instead of an enjoyable experience? Sure, dating apps have created a more customizable way of creating a potential connection, yet even with an abundance of matches at our disposal, most of the time the dates lead nowhere at all. Success with dating is hard enough as it is, add for that fact that we’re essentially trying to make a connection with someone that we’ve never met, nor know anything about (aside from their profile, which is not always accurate). It’s already challenging enough trying to identify whether someone is looking for simply a one-time fling, or seeking to invest their time with you. Granted, dating apps are far more convenient than regular, by-chance, romance-movie dating; but it all just seems a little fake. In a nutshell, the first date with someone you swiped right on a dating app can feel a bit phony; in the sense that, you are trying to find similar interests that will have the potential to forge a connection out of thin air. But what if you could already have a connection – before the actual date – that was built on similar interests? Let’s say, those same Taylor Swift songs that you love are also your new date's favorite songs to jam out to. Or, that your date enjoys thrilling experiences just as you do, like bouldering and bungee jumping. How refreshing that would be; and it would make it undeniably easier to connect with them on the first date.

… Ourdate is launching a new dating app that will match people based on their favorite activities and interests! No more relentless swiping and let-downs, because you are kickstarting the first date having aligned and pre-existing similar interests.

Similarities Increase Attraction

Having similarities with someone sparks attraction and the desire to get to know each other more. Psychology Today shares, “We are instinctively drawn to others with whom we share similar traits, interests, or even life experiences. Meeting someone from the same hometown, who shares the same hobbies, or even has the same birthday or wristwatch has been shown to increase liking.” The article continues to say, “A substantial body of research reveals we are attracted to people we perceive as similar to ourselves.”
