WHY OUR2SOULS EXISTS

More connection.
Less time scrolling.

Our2Souls is for people seeking a lasting relationship—and a more thoughtful way to find one.

We bring together relationship readiness, practical learning, and a beta matching app designed around meaningful connections.

Finding love shouldn’t feel like a second job. Endless swiping, repeated disappointment, and the anticipation of another match or message can make dating difficult to put down—and emotionally exhausting.

Dating fatigue is real.

78%

reported dating-app burnout at least sometimes.1

Nearly 90%

had felt the need to take a break from online dating.2

Findings from two separate surveys, each involving 1,000 U.S. dating-app users.

Research also links dating-app use with anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. These findings do not establish that apps cause those conditions, but they reinforce the importance of taking people’s experience and wellbeing seriously.

Read the research
  1. Forbes Health / OnePoll: dating-app burnout survey — 78% reported burnout sometimes, often, or always.
  2. Healthy Framework: online dating fatigue survey — 89.8% had felt the need to take a break; this is distinct from its burnout measure.
  3. Problematic Online Dating: systematic review — research on compulsive use and psychological associations.

Consumer surveys describe respondents’ experiences; they are not clinical diagnoses or evidence of Our2Souls outcomes.

A different path to connection. The Our2Souls approach: prepare by exploring your readiness, needs and patterns; connect through relationship styles; grow through communication, boundaries and intimacy. Compared with a swipe-led cycle of browsing profiles, making a match and starting again. More intention at every stage.

THE TIME BEHIND THE SWIPES ON CURRENT DATING APP CHOICES

A connection can take more than a swipe.

Shane Co.’s survey put numbers to the search for a partner based on choices before O2S came along.

Source: Shane Co., “How Many Swipes Does It Take to Find a Significant Other?” (February 2023). Survey of over 1,000 Americans who met their current partner on dating apps, conducted in December 2022. Swipe totals were calculated from self-reported usage. Monthly hours are our estimate: approximately 6 hours per week × 52 weeks ÷ 12 months. These estimates describe that sample, not all daters or measured Our2Souls outcomes.

THE OUR2SOULS APP

A more intentional approach to meeting someone.

Our matching algorithm was born from 23 scientific studies and is ready to help you explore potential partners beyond photos and swiping, with relationship styles at the heart of the experience.

Our2Souls is designed to show you potential partners who meet our matching criteria, rather than an endless feed of profiles. Sometimes that may mean waiting longer for an introduction. Our goal is to give you fewer reasons to keep checking and more room to live your life while exploring meaningful connections.

YOUR READINESS JOURNEY

Prepare for the relationship you want.

You can begin with the website or beta app. Our website helps you explore your own readiness—and consider whether someone you’ve already met is ready for a long-term relationship too.

With readiness assessments, reflection tools, the 28-video Relationship Readiness program, and HeartWise Academy, you can build skills in communication, boundaries, intimacy, and navigating conflict.

Our mission: help you spend less time searching and more time building a relationship that matters.

Vancouver soft launch: February 14, 2027.
