Ten questions a day — the same ten for everyone. Answer by 8pm and you're matched that evening with people who think like you, and who live close enough to actually meet.
How it works
No swiping through strangers, and no deciding about someone from a photograph in half a second.
Everyone answers the same ten questions, and they close at 8pm. Your answers are permanent — nobody gets to revise their personality to suit the person in front of them.
That evening you're shown the people who answered like you — including the rarest thing you both said, and the places you two disagreed. Those are the openers.
Suggest a place, a day and a time from the chat. Tell a DateMate where you're going, and share your location with them while you're there.
Why it's different
On every other app you decide about someone before you know a single thing about them. TEN turns that around: you match on ten answers, and the photos are revealed once you both have.
Nobody browses strangers here. There is no endless grid to swipe through, and nobody is deciding about you from one picture either.
Made for meeting
You're matched with people in your part of the city, not across it — a date should be a bus ride, not an expedition. Suggest a place from the chat and it arrives with the day and the time attached.
Ten a day is the whole point. Enough to look forward to, few enough to actually reply to.
Safety
Built into the parts of the app you actually use, and run by people rather than filters.
A person checks every profile against a live selfie before it goes anywhere. No selfie, no profile.
You're unmatched the moment you report someone, and they are never told who reported them. A person reads every one.
Tell a DateMate the place, the time and your match's first name — and share your live location while you're on the date.
If you are ever in immediate danger, call 999 first — the police can act in ways we can't. How to report someone.
Coming soon
London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds, so that wherever you are there are enough people near you for the ten to mean something.
