Meeting people IRL just got easier. This time technology is helping us find connections beyond endless swiping. For the last few years, the dating world has been campaigning for new ways to date organically, ditch dating apps, and meet people in real life. Traditional dating apps offer exclusive events that cost an arm, leg, and a cool job to get into. Leaving the unadmitted singles still hunting for a break from the algorithm. Like our ex-situationship, dating apps aren’t listening. However, there’s a new company that is…
Datelink, the first-of-its-kind dating technology, takes dating profiles out of dating apps and into reality. Instead of tirelessly using our fingers to swipe, Datelink brings dating power to our actual fingertips. Users first make a simple dating profile on Datelink’s website. They then choose between a back-of-the-phone dot or a ring to embed their profile into. When users tap the dot or ring on the top of someone’s phone, the link to their dating profile pops up on the person’s screen.
You’re probably thinking, can’t I just give them my number? Yes, but sometimes asking for someone’s number can heighten our dating anxiety. Also, it’s a tricky dating move for some to maneuver. Especially when you meet a cutie at a loud, crowded bar or concert. Datelink gives us confidence in sharing our contact info, while also providing us with ways to control the type of information we share. Datelink’s dating profiles have the option to add your number, social handles, and classic profile details. Two photos, a mini bio, height, and your interests. And the best part is, you don’t have to put your number and socials if you’re not comfortable. The Datelink profile gives the person you tapped the option to ask you on a date through your profile. With dating safety being a priority, we can connect with someone we meet IRL without giving them immediate access to us.
Meeting someone new in person takes practice. Because we look for dates through our screens, we’ve forgotten how to start an in-person conversation with a stranger, not a match. But our single sidekick, Datelink, is here to help us rebuild our IRL dating skills. So, before you head to your next social event, stick the dot to your phone or slide on your ring. Don’t just make eye contact with the cutie across the bar; say hello, tap their phone, and meet someone IRL.
