Reviews
HowAboutWe.com has been praised in numerous media outlets, including the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Mashable, and Gawker:
- We like that HowAboutWe is simple and creative. The old practices of online dating… were getting stale, and the site injects a new kind of life into the business. Also, the site itself is friendly, clean and attractive, which makes a big difference. – Brenna Ehrlich, Mashable
Need To Know Info
About You & Me Concierge
Most online dating sites focus on long-term compatibility between partners, running their hobbies, values, and goals through complex match algorithms. HowAboutWe.com takes a simpler approach, worrying a little more about a stellar first date. This model has earned the site’s co-founders, Aaron Schildkrout and Brian Schechter, nods in The New York Times, Gawker and GQ; it has also earned the site more than a million members.
For singles, the site’s primary feature is a huge remuda of creative date activities proposed by other singles, ranging from oyster tasting to heading to the park to toss around an oyster. Members can check their date partner’s profile, but the focus is on leaving the internet behind to go on creative, outside-the-box dates in the real world. The same goes for the couples’ branch of the site, stocked with creative new date ideas that help keep the magic alive.
