SAY GOODBYE TO SWIPING

This is how you find your Mr. Perfect

I have to confess to you honestly: I am a dating app virgin. I have admitted a few times that I am really a hopeless romantic and secretly still hope to run into my Prince Charming in real life. But yes, it has already been two years since my last relationship and I am still completely single. The thing that always made me refuse to join the online dating trend is that it seems bizarre to walk down the street and have someone recognize you from such an app. The idea of ‘oh, there's Elke. Yes, she's single, I came across her profile yesterday.’ Do you understand me? I'm not against it at all, I have plenty of friends who have met their boys this way, but to actually take that step myself, no, I haven't done that yet.

But now I have found something that's going to pop my dating app cherry. Namely: Once. When I talk about slow dating, you might be a bit confused. I get it, I was too. But here's the thing: slow dating is based on quality instead of quantity. Goodbye endless swiping then. With Once, you have a dedicated team of over 300 matchmakers who are going to help you find the one. What makes this different from other apps is that every day a personalized match is selected for you by one of the matchmakers. Once that is selected, you have 24 hours to contact them (or they can contact you) and start a private conversation.

“Goodbye endless swiping then.”

Look, the reason I find this nice again is that you are not visible to the whole world, only to the person you are matched with. And the longer you are on the app (even though you hope to meet someone quickly), the better the matchmakers get to know you. Then the chance is of course great that you will finally find your Prince Charming.

I’m sold. I’ll keep you updated. Goodbye hashtag #foreveralone!
