Because we date alone, it’s easy to lose our way. Solidarity keeps you on track. Supporting you to feel more resilient and empowered. Bolstered by comfort, clarity and community. I spent nearly a decade dating badly. I felt like I was running out of time. I decided to rethink my entire approach and within weeks I had met my favourite person. I hope this app lifts your spirits and enables you to date with more ease and clarity. I hope it helps you meet your favourite person more quickly, with far less anguish along the way. I created the app to offer the things I needed when dating. Distilling everything I learned and everything I longed for: *Soothing, encouraging words to listen to directly before and after going on dating apps. *Powerful processes to strengthen your understanding of yourself, your desires, your core needs, your lifestyle preferences and the type of partnership that will enable you to truly thrive. *Detailed guidance on how to create a profile that attracts lovely people you’re more likely to be compatible with. *Heartening meditations to alleviate disappointment and strengthen hope. *Advice on how to sift out timewasters and discern quality connections. *Conversation starters for better texting and more enriching dates. *A community of other daters who really get what it’s like being single. *A safe space to share bad date stories for healing, humour and catharsis. *Goal tracking to keep you focused. *Comforting words to calm pre-date nerves. *Scripts on how to let someone down kindly. *Guidance for tricky moments when you’re not sure how to proceed. *Empowering affirmations and uplifting screensavers. When we seek connection from a frustrated, exhausted, ravenous place, we tend to encounter people who perpetuate those experiences. When we seek connection from a grounded, energised, easeful place, we tend to encounter people who enhance those states. It’s always useful to have a cheerleader when we’re doing hard things. Dating is courageous. It’s also baffling and exhausting. I hope this app is a heartening ally, fortifying you as you search for your favourite person. Whilst bringing some humour and cheer to the bizarre process of looking for love in the modern world. Remember – your companion is out there. And every moment you’re getting closer to the warmth of their smile. They are going to be SO HAPPY when they finally get to meet you. When we feel lonely, we contract. When we feel supported, we expand. When we expand, magic happens… INFORMATION ABOUT THE APP AND PURCHASE OPTIONS By signing up, you will get access to subscription(s) that include features such as progress tracking, and offline sync.
