From Sundays, Founder of Swipe IRL

I created Swipe IRL because I was done with dating apps.

I was burnt out on the endless swiping, the awkward small talk, the pressure to perform. It all felt cold, impersonal — and honestly, kind of exhausting. I knew I wasn’t alone in that feeling. I kept thinking: there has to be a better way.

Swipe IRL is that better way.

It’s not a dating app. It’s not a hook-up scene. It’s a community of real people, meeting in real places, having real conversations — with no pressure to sell yourself or chase a match.

Here’s the twist: you don’t show up to find someone for you. You come to connect with others — and maybe introduce someone you meet to someone else.

We call it the IRL Method: Interact. Recommend. Link.

It’s generous. It’s refreshing. And, somehow, when you take the pressure off yourself... real chemistry happens.

Swipe IRL is for people who care about connection, who want to show up fully, and who are ready to bring a little more humanity back to how we meet.

And because we believe community is something you can wear, we’ve created a line of premium lifestyle apparel — thoughtfully designed for people who want to be part of this movement, whether they’re single or not.

So whether you’re here for the events, the friendships, the fashion — or the feeling of something real — you’re in the right place.

Thanks for being here. I’m so glad you found us.
