Finding love on an app
No photos, no swiping, no notifications. How this whole message-in-a-bottle business works, and why, who knows, maybe it’s here.
· This is my message
Let’s be honest: you’ve been swiping through faces for a while now, and you’re no longer sure whether you’re looking for a partner or playing solitaire. There are no faces here. There are messages in bottles.
How it goes, in four strokes of the oar
- Launch your bottle. Pick a label (a drawing, not a photo), answer 50 questions about who you are, how you love and what you’re after, and write a few lines of your own. About 12 minutes. Shorter than a bad first date.
- Let it float. Your bottle drifts across an imaginary sea, and you see who you click with and by what percentage. Nobody’s answers are ever shown: only the result. Your deal-breakers weigh more than everything else.
- Read each other before you talk. If a bottle catches your eye, propose cards: 28 imaginative questions, of which you each answer 10. You read each other’s, one by one. If half or more win you over, you can approve.
- If you both approve, the chat opens. If not, it’s paused. No alerts, no awkward explanations, no drama.
First, how they think. Then, how they smile.
Pick your plan
- The nosy plan. Launch your bottle just to see your percentage with everyone else. No strings attached.
- The patient plan. Let it float and pop back now and then. We don’t send notifications: the sea takes as long as it takes, but it always washes something up.
- The brave plan. Propose cards, answer honestly and dive into the conversation.
- The Clink! plan. Now and then, two compatible bottles drift within 20 km of each other and bump (once a day at most). You’ll see it on your map. It doesn’t change the percentage: it’s just an excuse to take a closer look.
What you won’t find
Photos, likes fired off blind, endless scrolling, notifications designed to hook you or anything to download. We don’t ask for your email either, and your bottle doesn’t show up on Google. It’s free: bottle, affinity, cards and messages.
What you will find
People who’ve spent 12 minutes telling you who they are. That says a lot already.
Does it work? Apps don’t make people fall in love: people do. All this does is help you find each other through what actually matters. And who knows, maybe it’s here.
