What you may or may not know is that there are apps today to meet friends, neighbours and fellow introverts online — not just casual lovers. Contrary to popular belief, in fact, most people on dating apps are deadly serious about meeting other people, and many are looking for meaningful, long-term relationships or just innocent friendships. That is why Tinder itself decided to launch a spin-off of its popular dating platform, Tinder Social, which allows users to match with people that will only feel platonic love for them.
Here is a list of European startups that are following in the footsteps of the more popular Tinder Social, Meetup and Bumble BFF, and will quickly become your best assets in navigating the turbulent waters of digital interactions:.
Founded in , Wetime is a social platform dedicated to couples and families with kids looking for new adult friends and to be socially active again.
Wetime aims to bring together all those couples that are open to new social interaction, such as those who recently moved or young parents that want to meet like-minded people with children of the same age.
In addition to the matchmaking services, this Belgian startup offers its users the chance to collect virtual coins, redeem gifts or benefit from discounts with their partners such as restaurants, travel agencies or hotels.
