Dating is hard — we know, we've been there too. We were burnt out from constantly being ghosted and dating like it was a second job. That’s why we created Dandelion: the app to bring an end to ghosting and dating burnout by focusing on matches who are genuinely interested in each other. HOW IT WORKS On Dandelion, chats are limited to three at a time. This means when someone messages you, you know they're genuinely interested in getting to know you. Conversations last for seven days to lead you from the app to a first date. With Dandelion, only focus on the most important connections and make every hello special. It's like finding that one person who catches your eye, walking over, and introducing yourself. Dandelion is open in the NYC area, so if you’re tired of the same-old apps, try Dandelion and start dating like you mean it. TELL ME MORE Everyone starts with 3 keys. After matching with someone, you can use a key to invite them to chat. You also use a key when accepting a chat invite. Because both you and your match use a key, every conversation means something special. After sending or receiving an invite, you or your match have 24 hours to accept. When an invite is accepted, your chat will last for 7 days unless you end it earlier. After the chat ends or if your invite isn’t accepted, you will get your key back so you can start a new conversation or re-invite them to continue talking. If someone you want to talk to doesn’t have any keys left to accept your invite, you can still chat with them by sending a flower. Flowers are special because the recipient doesn’t need to use a key to accept the invite. Unlike keys, once a flower is accepted, it will disappear, so use them on the people who interest you the most. You can earn flowers by completing daily activities like logging in and liking someone new. SAY HI Contact us at hello@dandeliondating.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/dandeliondating/ NEED HELP?
