‘Carefully selected, Cleverly connected,’ reads the tagline of Brussels newest dating app The Inner Circle.
And, in a nutshell, that’s what this selective dating app delivers. It may have been lumped in with the likes of Tinder, Bumble and Happn since its inception, but, with the aim of pairing up only ambitious, engaging young professionals, the Inner Circle was actually founded in 2012 as a response to the number of brainless dating apps on the market.
So, if you too are fed up of swiping left and right constantly, flicking through endless profiles and spending long, arduous dates wishing you could find someone a little more compatible, then this app may be for you.
For The Inner Circle, quality matters. Whilst most apps focus on quantity, The Inner Circle simply whittles down your introductions to people with similar interests and backgrounds as you – prospective partners with whom you are statistically much more likely to hit it off.
Behind the scenes, the team at Inner Circle curate and personally approve each member, keeping the oddballs and creeps found on other apps firmly out of the picture. And, in an effort to bring dating back into the real world, and off the confines of a touchscreen, the brand also holds exclusive events around the world on a monthly basis.
So, if you’re finding it difficult to take anything further than texting, and can’t think of an appropriate place to meet your date, The Inner Circle sorts it for you, ensures your matches are genuine, and takes online offline to give you a fighting chance.
With everyone from teachers to students to nurses to office workers signed up to The Inner Circle, there is a wide range of people available to chat to – rather than it being the bank of bankers many perceive it to be.
Don’t confuse ‘selective’ with ‘elitist’ because, even though The Inner Circle may be full of hot shots and high-flyers, aren’t they the sort of people you want to be meeting?
