want

Find the why before the who.

want helps you meet people for dating or friendship without swiping through hundreds of profiles.

There’s no browsing. No endless profile feed.

You are introduced, not matched.

It starts with you

Instead of filling out another long profile, you start with a guided conversation.

want gets to understand what matters to you, what you’re looking for, how you communicate and the kind of people you tend to connect with.

We use that understanding to make more thoughtful introductions.

When we think there’s a good reason for two people to meet, we introduce you.

Meet Robyn

Robyn is built into want and helps you throughout the experience.

Robyn gets to know what you’re looking for, helps you understand your introductions and learns from the feedback you give.

If you’re unsure about someone, Robyn can help you think it through. If a conversation gets stuck, Robyn can help you move it forward. And when it feels like it might be time to meet, Robyn can help with that too.

You’re not just given another person and left to figure out the rest.

How introductions work

Every introduction starts with why.

We tell you why we think you might get on before asking you to decide whether you want to continue.

From there, you get to know each other step by step.

You might hear their voice, learn more about them, ask something you want to know and start a conversation.

Both people choose whether to keep going.

If you both want to meet, want helps you move the connection into real life.

What makes want different

No swiping
You don’t browse through hundreds of people. We bring introductions to you.

A reason behind every introduction
We explain why we think you might connect.

Get to know someone gradually
You don’t have to make the whole decision from a few photos.

Both people choose
Nothing moves forward unless you both want it to.

Robyn learns with you
What you tell us, the choices you make and your feedback help want understand you better over time.

Real people
Identity verification is built into the want experience to help create a more trusted community.

Built to help you meet
We don’t want you spending hours scrolling. The aim is to help good connections become real ones.

Dating and friendship

You might be looking for a relationship.

You might want to make new friends.

You might be open to both.

want uses the same idea for each: understand you first, make an introduction for a reason, and help both people work out whether they want to take it further.

Perks

Being part of want comes with perks: discounts, freebies and little extras from over 30 places across London, with more every week. Use them on a date, with friends or on your own, and they’re still yours on Holiday Mode.

Browse them all, or tell Robyn what you’re into and they’ll find the ones that fit. Each perk tells you how to use it: show it at the venue, or mention want when you book.

Find your people

You don’t need hundreds of matches.

You need the right introduction.

Dating. Friendship. Real connection.

Find the why before the who.
