How it works
1
Create your profile
Add a few photos and tell people a bit about yourself. It takes just a couple of minutes, and you can always come back to edit details later.
2
Browse profiles manually
Look through profiles one by one, like flipping through a photo album. There's no swipe deck—you decide who you want to learn more about.
3
Send a message
When you find someone interesting, you can send them a note directly. No waiting for a mutual match to start talking.
4
Plan to meet up
If the conversation goes well, suggest grabbing coffee or going for a walk. Instadate is designed to help you move from chatting to meeting in person.

Someone's first week on the service
I liked that I could just browse without swiping. It felt less like a game and more like actually looking for someone. Met a guy for coffee last week—we're planning a second date.
