A new year is here, and you know what that means? A new you. It’s cliche, but what better excuse for revamping your love life than a new decade.

This is the time of year when demand for dates goes through the roof, and activity on the associated apps absolutely skyrocket. It’s because everyone gets ready to kick start the year and find that special someone to do it with.

That’s what you should be aiming for in 2020, but if you’re not sure where to start the obvious answer is online dating. This is where The Inner Circle comes in. The offline-centric dating app that’s completely torn up the world of online dating. How? Simple. They’re prioritising all the trends that were dating blocks from the past year and are making them a priority to tackle, ready for the new decade.

But what draws them apart from most apps? Firstly, most dating apps encourage pocket-dating. The pointless practice of messaging endlessly until your matches fizzle out and your back to square one again. The solution that The Inner Circle has come up with is simple but effective, offline dating. Genuinely. The app’s flipped online dating on it’s head and rather than coaxing you into hours of swiping and chatting, encourages offline meet-ups as quickly as possible. 

It may sound weird, but right  from when you set up your profile you’re prepared for offline meet-ups. By manually verifying each new member, the app makes sure that no one is worried about being catfished or tricked by any other users. Everyone is genuinely who they say they are and their pictures are up to date. It means finding that person on your first date is as easy as possible.  

What’s also unique is the ‘spots’ feature. This is a user-curated list of venues that have been tried and tested for first dates. Basically it means setting up a date is effortlessly simple. There’s also an option to check out your favourite places and see who else likes to go there, you already have that much in common you can skip the chatting and ask to meet. Another genius shortcut to IRL. 

Finally, and actually the most impressive are The Inner Circle dating events. Hosted in cities all over the world, they vary from underground house parties to rooftop cocktail classes, and are always a sell-out. They’ve even started hosting pop-up festivals, it’s any single persons dream and a sure way to meet someone special in real life. It’s officially party season at the moment, so why not change that to partner season and start meeting new people.  

All you need to do is sign up online, then get meeting offline. Make 2020 your year to find the one. Give The Inner Circle a go here for free.
