GLANCE! Meet your person IN PERSON again! Fun fact: Did you know the average single dating app user only approaches someone they’re interested once every 2 years?!! Why is that? Fear of Rejection!!! It happens to MILLIONS of us, ALL THE TIME...at the gym...at the store...on our morning trip to the coffee shop; we lock eyes with someone, feel a deep, powerful connection, then…deny our instincts to make a move because we’re afraid of putting ourselves out there. Lucky for us Glance!® is the world's first DATING APP DISRUPTOR that gives us the chance to get back to basics and find the love we seek in person. It is an incredible TOOL OF EMPOWERMENT that helps everyone, and we mean EVERYONE (gay, straight, bisexual, non-binary or anything in between), connect with a potential partner. And it does it all with: - NO PROFILES TO SWIPE THROUGH! (no words, there are only picture uploads) - NO ENDLESS BACK AND FORTH CHATS (fifteen minute texting limit is all ya git, lovebird.) - AND NO CATFISHING! (you have to see the person IN PERSON to even start) --------HOW IT WORKS--------- GLANCE!®: Send a ping, get a ping, and match. 1. See someone I like within 50-feet of you. 2. Find their pic on the app and send a ping to them. They will send a ping back. 3. Match and find yourself in a 15-minute chat, which disappears after that time. 4. After introducing yourselves through text, meet in person (they’re only 50ft away, right?). ————UPGRADE TO PREFFERED MEMBERSHIP———— Life happens, right? Sometimes the one you’ve glanced and matched with isn’t available at that exact moment to chat in person — they could be in hurry to get to work or be with family grabbing a bite, who knows. Becoming a PREFERRED MEMBER gives the two of you another chance finish where you left off with another 24 hours to chat!
