Dating in New York
can feel like this

Many of our members
told us the same things

01
Growing anxiety
Another year goes by
and friends are settling down
02
Pressure from parents
Every video call ends with
'so, anyone special yet?'
03
Not sure how to start
Hard to make the first move
and dates go quiet
04
Too reserved
Sincere but slow to warm up,
so people miss the real you
