What’s the problem?

People don’t know how to start a conversation after matching others.

How to start a conversation with a person without embarrassing yourself?
You may meet a person and find it difficult to approach her/him.

Spend a lot of time to make sure the date time and location after the match to each other.

Find a perfect time and place good for both is hard, sometimes may spend a lot of time on it .

The date place is hard to pick.

What’s the satisfactory dating place, any suggestions or recommendations?

User research

I have conducted 3 rounds of user research, which included 6 existing users of tinder, bumble, Hinge, MOMO and happen, understand what’s their pain point when using those apps.

Key findings

  • Online dating users lying about personal details

  • Wasting time on bad dates that don’t meet expectations

  • Ghosting

  • Fake profiles

  • Uncertain physical safety, including violent crime
