Hot take: dating apps are actually a good way to date. 

You can meet a whole load of people you otherwise wouldn’t and filter them on what really matters to you. And we’re so here for it. 

But most apps still leave you feeling a little defeated. Why? Because they don’t help you to date in a mindful or intentional way. Which is where Inner Circle comes in. 

This high quality dating app wants  single people to have more meaningful conversations that actually turn into dates. And it’s just introduced a whole host of new features to help you date more consciously and improve your love life. 

Here’s how:

1. Prioritise a few chats at a time

There’s no need to tell 12 people how your day was, everyday. You can pin up to 5 conversations on Inner Circle to help you focus on just a few chats at one time. Putting quality over quantity means your matches actually have a chance of going somewhere, and you can escape the endless texting that we all can’t stand. 

2. Choose who you spend your time on

When you’re bombarded with new matches every day, it’s hard to keep track of who’s who. But Inner Circle has a solution. You’re asked to say yes or no to an incoming chat request, so you’re totally in control of how many conversations you have to entertain at one time. Ideal, right? 

3. Stop leaving people on read

You’re busy, we get that. But if you want to turn a match into a date, you’ll need to actually reply to them. That’s why Inner Circle will give you a gentle nudge if you (or your match) has taken longer than 48 hours to reply. 

4. End a conversation if you’re not feeling it

You’ll get more compatible matches on Inner Circle than on other apps because they screen all new members to check they’re people you’d actually want to date, but still, sometimes there just isn’t a spark. Rather than feeling obliged to carry on the chat or letting it slowly fizzle out, you can use the ‘end conversation’ option. Easy. 

5. Get the closure you deserve 

One of the worst parts of dating apps? Ghosting. But that won’t happen on Inner Circle. The ‘end conversation’ options mean you’ll get an honest, upfront explanation when someone decides to end the conversation with you. So you won’t waste time on people who aren’t on the same page as you, and you can move on to find someone who is. 

Sounds good? Register with Inner Circle for free now and start dating better.
