I know it's hard to get the first users, but you should mention that some of the featured profiles are fake / stock photos.

@mightyalex Sorry for the confusion here -- none of the featured profiles are fake. Lucy or I personally know all those people. We've made an explicit effort _not_ to do any fake profiles because we've seen dating apps do it and it's good for nobody. I'm sorry that some of the people look fake though.

@mightyalex We don't have any fake profiles on featured. And have created none ourselves.

@jarredsumner Hey it's possible that I'm wrong. It's just I've seen this girl at too many fake testimonials / design mockups so I got disappointed when I saw it at your website too. Talking about this profile: https://applytodate.com/nivi

I like the clean simple dating pages. But when you submit an application, the person basically makes a judgement off your twitter, facebook, instagram, and/or linkedin? Where's the cover letter? :) Seriously, I think there's something to that first message, what do you want, what caught your interest, why you think it's a potential match, etc? Also, if I was in the market, I would want to include my Quora page. People's answers on there reveal a lot about who they are.

@cbenkendorf You can add to your application - the next page has steps to upload photos, add an introduction, and why they should go on a date with you It was below the copy confirming you would be emailed with next steps. Did you see this? And we're adding Quora as a social link since it's been highly requested :)

Really great project! Was just thinking about this space recently – between Tinder and OkCupid there hasn't been anything new that worked in the dating space in a while. Created a profile – https://applytodate.me/yuriy, feedback much appreciated :)

@html5cat Glad you like it! Hoping it works for others as well as it's worked for me :) I'd include some random facts that'd even surprise your friends (i.e. one of my friends collects bars of soap and has 50+), hobbies, maybe two truths and a lie!

this is the first time i've created a dating profile that feels genuine. which makes me believe that other people have the same experience. which makes me believe i won't be catfished...

that's pretty incredible for a dating app

Pros:

gorgeous interface, incredibly straightforward ux of asking someone out

Cons:

not a huge fan of the green owl

yessss this is awesomeee. i can imagine people using this for prom haha, though if this is used for prom, I'd miss the big gestures people did to ask people to prom "back in my day"

@sydney_liu_sl thanks. I think there are ways to do big gestures over the internet, would need to think about how to productize it well though

Great concept! I think the way the interface is designed, it has great potential to facilitate more deeper or meaningful conversation, even before asking someone to meet for the first time. Although the goal is to go out on a date, I suspect a lot of users will find satisfaction in just conversing with people with common interest. Looking forward to seeing it gain traction.

@chrissel Thanks! At this moment, we don't support messaging, but this is something we're considering.

Perfect..looking forward to it (messaging). Definitely not a deal breaker since users can figure out a way to contact each other through other networks.

I think the product looks, feels and works great. Kudos to you and Jarred for building this. I have a question. I obviously noticed the name "Apply to Date" which I think is really witty, creative and fits the product. Having said that, do you believe that if one used a similar process to find love or intimate-based experiences(dating, sex, marriage, everything in between) the same way they search for work/employment (or meaning in their work), they would be more satisfied in the long run? Is that what you're betting on?
