What Are Circles?
A circle is a curated group of singles who share a common connection—whether through mutual friends, a community, or an event. Unlike traditional dating apps where you match with complete strangers, circles ensure everyone is socially verified and accountable.
Every member is vetted by someone you trust
Social accountability reduces ghosting by over 50%
Higher quality matches through pre-filtered connections
Safer dating environment with social verification
Three Types of Circles
Multiple ways to find meaningful connections through trusted networks
Friend-Created Circles
Your friends become your personal matchmakers, creating circles of singles they know and trust.
Examples
- Sarah creates "Tech Professionals" for 15 single friends in her network
- Mark creates "Book Club Singles" for readers in his community
- Jessica creates "Fitness Friends" for gym buddies looking to date
Benefits
- Personal vetting by someone who knows you
- Social proof builds trust from the start
- Friends can vouch for character and compatibility
Community-Based Circles
Join dating circles within communities you already belong to—gyms, clubs, professional groups, and more.
Examples
- CrossFit gym creates circle for 150+ active members

- Running club creates circle for marathon training group
Benefits
- Already share interests and values
- Built-in conversation starters and common ground
- See matches at community events and activities
Event-Based Circles
Connect with attendees at conferences, festivals, weddings, and other events through temporary dating circles.
Examples

- Music festival creates weekend circle for festival-goers
- Wedding creates circle for single guests to connect
