DATE OFFLINE. The SOON experience is about getting intentional. Rather than the standard yet uninspiring greeting of “hey, how are you?” a first message on SOON is a bespoke invitation to meet up for a low-stakes date at a spot from our list. SOON is a free, members-only dating app in the Bay Area. We're keeping our community tight as we roll out, so you'll have to request access. All requests are placed in a queue & reviewed continually. It's worth the wait. GET A GLIMPSE Check out your match’s video reply to a prompt. A short video tells you more about a person (& whether you vibe with them) than an endless sprawl of texts. MAKE A PLAN & BE TOGETHER SOON First messages come with a proposed time to meet, it can be as soon as you want, but no later than a few days. Next, choose a place from “SOON’s List”—a compilation of sweet spots near you. Respond to invites within 24 hours! REFLECT After your date, take a moment to reflect on your experience in your Journal & track your feelings over time. Entangling can get complicated & we get that. FEATURES - Select times you're free to meet throughout the week. - Explore SOON’s List & select a Go-To spot (100+ local spots including cafes, bars & parks). - After matching, view someone’s Glimpse (8-30 second video reply to one of our prompts). - Invite a match out by selecting one of their free times & a spot from SOON’s List + add a brief personal message. - Respond to invites within 24 hours. - Reschedule plans if you need to! - Keep track of sent, received, confirmed & timed-out invites. - Record insights in your Journal (never shared with matches). - Keep up-to-date with *offline* events such as Group Blind Dates & themed mixers hosted by SOON.

I don’t get any notifications of when I can swipe again. Like I check maybe twice a week and it always says “come back soon, for now we’re only showing a small batch of people per day” but this ALWAYS comes up. I might as well delete the space it’s taking on my phone. ### 5/5 — I love SOON *2024-01-26* Finally a non-weird way to meet singles in person without having to endlessly swipe on apps constantly and start convos that almost never lead to dates. I love SOON and use it every week! ### 5/5 — A modern dating app *2023-11-30* I really like marching with someone with the intention to meet. Removes some insecurities. Also, went on to speed dating event with them and it was well organised and everyone had a great time! They also did a personal profile consultation for free which is amazing! I was highly recommend checking out the app. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly Better Than Hinge *2023-11-30* There’s a specific kind of person that lives in SF & Soon does a really good job of directing the user experience towards intention & asking people out. It is a step improvement over Hinge which was a step improvement over Tinder/Bumble/etc. Surprisingly enjoying it so far. Intentionality is something that is missing from any dating app that exists, & if you’re serious about finding someone, those features are appreciated. Soon curates a good experience for this. ### 1/5 — Worst dating app *2023-10-12* Long wait time to get approval. Not worth the wait. ### 5/5 — Cuts thru the noise *2023-09-28* Love that u get straight to the point and just meet. Also their blind dating event was super fun ### 4/5 — Great new Dating App *2023-09-19* This is a really nice app, very well designed and isn’t bloated with fake/old profiles. However in my personal experience, I haven’t gotten a single like or match on here(I check everyday) which bum's me out. ### 5/5 — Getting back out there! *2023-07-29* A lovely, direct way to meet cool people ### 5/5 — Neat Fun Fresh New app! *2023-07-29* Love the fresh concept of this app. Never ending small talk that goes no where is what I hate about dating apps - this cuts right through that and allows you to propose a time to meet AND provides you a bunch of cool date ideas and locations. ✨🤩💛 ### 5/5 — obsessed *2023-07-29* found the love of my life…. and it fun was doing it!!!!!!!!!! ## Frequently asked questions about SOON ### What is SOON - Dating & Relationships?
