Unlike any other traditional dating platform, passive dating is all about selflessness, enthusiasm and positivity, where you pair other university students based on their dating profiles. When a significant number of users pair two individuals together, they get matched and can start a conversation with each other Access to Lboro Circle is strictly limited to university students through email and student identification checks. Every profile is individually assessed before it is allowed onto the platform which minimises instances of impersonation.
