ASK A BESTIE / DATING, WITHOUT THE APP

Alternatives to Dating Apps

Tired of swiping? Dating apps are not the only way to meet someone. Compare introductions, events, communities and human matchmaking.

Ask A Bestie: Human matchmaking in the U.S. • $500 for six months • No swiping • Identity verification required • Optional astrology readings: $50

Ask your actual friends

The oldest matchmaking system is still a good one: someone who knows you says, “I know someone you should meet.”

Singles events and communities

Events give you real-world chemistry immediately. Recurring communities can be even better because you are not making a decision from a profile in ten seconds.

Professional matchmaking

Traditional matchmaking can be hands-on, but pricing can reach thousands of dollars. Ask what is guaranteed, how candidates are vetted and whether you are paying for introductions or outcomes.

Ask A Bestie

We charge $500 for six months. We meet you, meet potential dates by video or in person, and make introductions based on interests, energy, life journey and requirements. There is no app to swipe.
