Meet to Meet is a mobile dating app used for meeting potential partners at singles events. It's an app that does what other's can't! Minimize dating anxiety.
Problem
Ever felt anxious while dating? Well you're not alone, numerous people feel this way when dating. These feelings make it hard to ask others out on in-person dates, and prevents people from achieving their goal of building connections that they deeply desire.
So we asked ourselves, how might we help people feel more comfortable when dating, so they can foster the connections they’re looking for?"
Solution
A mobile app that combines the low pressure communication features of online dating with the charm of natural in-person dating.
Research
But how did we discover this problem, and figure out a solution? The answer, field research.
At first we believed people would find online dating superficial, and in person dating more genuine. However, by conducting interviews, and collecting survey results, we found that people were concerned about another problem...
We found that connecting with others in person is a deep desire for many people, but they feel anxious about all the uncertainties that come with approaching and interacting with others.
