CONNECT FIRST. JUDGE LATER.
With SWITCH, you can experience real-time conversation - and real-time connection - right from your phone. To start, you’ll create your SWITCH Note: an audio message that gives a little glimpse of who you are. Choose from prompt options for inspiration - or freestyle and say whatever you feel shows off your true personality. Once you’re ready, it’s time to explore a timeline of profiles to choose your next 1:1 speed date from.
1:1 REQUEST
These aren’t your normal profiles, with vague bios, random group photos (which one are they??), and scam profiles as every other option. Instead, you’ll be able to scroll through a timeline of profiles with SWITCH Notes attached, with some of the details hidden to encourage you to learn more about them in a live conversation first.
When you hear a SWITCH Note that you like on your homescreen, you’ll have the opportunity to send a 1:1 request for a 3-minute speed date with them, with built-in ice-breakers and conversation drivers (no awkward silences, please!), and see if sparks fly. If they’re not online at the moment, save their profile for a chance to connect later.
Great speed date? Great news. You’ll have the option to see all the details of their profiles, indicate whether you’d like to chat again, and move the conversation to your messaging tab to start connecting.
RANDOMIZED SPEED-DATING EXPERIENCE
Feeling a little more daring? Try jumping straight into a live-roulette speed-dating experience. We’ll match you with other people who meet your preferences that are online and ready to connect for a gamified 3-minute speed date, complete with ice-breaker questions and conversation drivers. No spoilers: the picture will be blurred at the beginning, revealing your date’s face as the date goes on - so you can focus on connecting, first. And if you both feel like 3 minutes isn’t enough, you’ll have the opportunity to extend the call for an additional 3 minutes (if you both agree, of course) and let that connection keep growing. Same rules apply- you’ll have the opportunity to see the person’s full profile with fun facts, intentions, and more photos giving you the chance to decide if it’s a match or not as the date goes on.
OLD SCHOOL MEETS NEW SCHOOL
Combine the convenience of a phone conversation with innovative features that create your own virtual speed-dating event, right in the palm of your hand. Genuine connections happen naturally when we have the chance to talk to each other and communicate on a human level. So why not make that a part of the online-dating experience? Our survey shows that 77.5% of people believe having a live conversation before seeing a person’s profile would help them build stronger connections. SWITCH helps you make those connections - on your time, in real time.
**SWITCH is an inclusive, authentic space for you to connect with others on a human level. We made this space for everyone, from any background, race, gender identity, ethnicity, or sexuality. You’re welcome here. Make the SWITCH.
