Date Tracker helps you log your dates, notice your patterns, and date with intention instead of just winging it. It's a private space to keep track of who you're seeing, how you feel, and who's actually a great match for you. When you track your dates, you can easily figure out who you want to keep dating and who's not a match without having to run to your group chat for every decision. What you can do: - Log each date, including how you felt and what you learned - Reflect on between-date texting and communication - Spot patterns across the people you've dated: who you pick, what hooks you, where it tends to go sideways - Track why connections end, and what you can learn from them - Check the pulse on a connection and see whether it's building or stalling - Keep everyone you're currently seeing organized in one private, judgment-free place - Get guidance and resources along the way, plus quick answers to dating FAQ so you don't get stuck Who it's for: You've done the work. You know your attachment style. You're looking for the real deal, and you're tired of dating in circles. Date Tracker is built for intentional, self-aware dating, not endless swiping. Created by Talia Koren, host of the Dating Intentionally podcast, who tracked all of her dates in her notes app with an emoji key. With the help of her dating reflection log, Talia met her husband on a dating app after going on 150ish first dates with over 60 people in 10 months. Dating doesn't have to feel like guesswork. Start seeing what's actually going on, and date like you mean it. Terms of Service: https://www.thedatetracker.com/terms
