Problem
Traditional dating apps often struggle with superficial interactions and low engagement, making it difficult for users to initiate meaningful conversations and form genuine connections. The pressure to create a perfect profile and the fear of rejection can lead to anxiety and discourage users from actively participating.

The platform introduces a "Duo" mode, allowing users to create profiles with friends and browse other duos, facilitating group chats and shared experiences. By incorporating fun facts and mini-games directly into profiles, Smitten helps users break the ice, discover common interests, and initiate conversations in a low-pressure environment. The app also includes a search function that allows users to directly connect with people they know, eliminating the need for awkward introductions on other social media platforms.
