Cuffing season is nearly here. Londoners, it’s time to start taking dating seriously.

If you don’t know what Cuffing Season is, it’s that time of year when activity on dating apps goes through the roof. Winter is on the way, and single people look to try and find a partner to settle down with over the winter months. It might sound like a bit of a cliche, but honestly, if you’re looking to date this is the time to get involved. 

But you can be forgiven for not wanting to spend the last few long evenings aimlessly swiping on dating apps with all the same people on. That’s where Inner Circle comes in. It’s the dating app that’s taken London by storm because of their radical approach to online dating. 

They start by manually checking each new member, making sure everyone is putting their best foot forward and using up-to-date, accurate profile pictures and filling out their bio’s properly. If not, they simply send you some tips for a better profile. It’s all part of their mantra to get people to take dating more seriously. They also block scammers, fakes and catfish, meaning you won’t waste your time with these types of accounts. Ultimately it saves you time and helps you find the right people faster.

At the moment, Inner Circle have banned the word hey. They’re trying to encourage users to be more creative, as a basic hi/hello/hey has a low response rate (1/10). Literally, if you try and start a conversation like this, they’ll autocorrect your message to a whacky or funny chat-up line. If conversation starters aren’t your strong point, or you just fancy a laugh at some of their suggestions, then check it out. 

This app is for people who want to try something different, and actually intend to go on dates. So if that sounds like what you’re after, sign up to Inner Circle here.
