5 Latest and Unique Dating Apps in New York City

In today’s world, where making friends feels increasingly challenging, discovering a love interest can seem like a daunting task. Let’s face it, as we age, the avenues to meet new people diminish significantly. When seeking advice, the typical responses range from “join a gym” and “start attending dance classes” to the ubiquitous “find a hobby and venture out.”

However, from what has been observed, these methods scarcely yield results. This holds true for dating apps as well. On dating platforms, it’s easy to connect with someone online, but when it comes to actually going out and sparking a conversation, the outcomes are often just as disheartening.

Nonetheless, some online dating applications and offline dating initiatives are striving to inject a fresh vibe into the entire scene. Let’s delve into them below.

SayHeyy

SayHeyy is not a dating app. It’s a unique concept that enables you to spot singles around you using “clues”. The clues can be as simple as “wear your watch on your right hand”. Once you sign up as a SayHeyy member, you will receive clues for clubs, cafes, beaches and other parts of the city. Let’s say you decide to hit a club in New York at night, you can use the SayHeyy “club clues” to spot fellow SayHeyy singles present there. When you spot them just go and say “Hey”. SayHeyy is the ultimate icebreaker.

With a presence in some of the best cities in the world, SayHeyy is igniting the thrill of finding love in a physical setting. You can sign up for SayHeyy New York here.

Her

Her is a lesbian and LGBTQIA+ dating app that prides itself on being a secure space where queer women, nonbinary, and trans sapphics can meet, match, and potentially connect. Her distinguishes itself by focusing on what might be considered a niche aspect in more popular apps like Tinder or Bumble, making it their core and only offering.

Align

This app uses astrology to match people based on their zodiac signs and how well they get along. It looks at more than just your main zodiac sign, using your full birth chart to find better matches.

Beyond Sun Signs: Unlike other astrology apps that only look at your sun sign, Align goes further. It considers your whole birth chart, including your moon sign, rising sign, and where your planets are.

Synastry Matching: This term means comparing two birth charts to see how well they match. Align uses this method to see how your planets interact with someone else’s, giving you a better idea of compatibility.

Compatibility Scores: Align creates a compatibility score based on both your birth charts. This score helps you see how likely a strong connection is.

Bristlr

Bristlr is basically the Tinder for beard lovers! It’s a dating app that connects people with beards (or who love beards) with each other.

Here’s how it works:

• For beard fans: If you have a beard and want to meet someone who appreciates it, this is your app. On the other hand, if you’re into guys with beards, Bristlr can help you find your perfect match (beard-wise).
• More than just looks: While beards are a focus, it’s not the only thing. You can still browse profiles and get to know people before connecting.
• Lighthearted and fun: Bristlr is a casual app for people who enjoy a bit of lighthearted fun while searching for dates.
