#intentionaldating

Somewhere along the way, dating apps stopped feeling like dating.

You know the drill. you match. you say hey. they say hey back. maybe it goes somewhere, probably it doesn't. you get ghosted, or you become the ghost, or you both just… let it die in the chat. and somehow this became normal. this became the process.

and matrimonial sites aren't the answer either, not if you don't want your entire personality reduced to your caste and your zip code.

so what do you do when you want something real — when you want to meet someone who actually aligns with your values, your weird little worldview, the way you move through life — but every option available feels like it was built for someone else?

that's the gap we kept falling into. that's why meant2bae exists.

it's intentional dating. slow dating. curated matches, not a chaos scroll. human-led profiling, not an algorithm deciding your worth. no talking stages that live and die in the dms. actual conversations that go somewhere.

we're not interested in building another app that makes loneliness feel more efficient. we're interested in something more than that.

if you've been waiting for something that takes this seriously — here is meant2bae.

All I Want Is Clean Love

I met my husband online — but it wasn’t smooth sailing. Before finding real love, I ran into some seriously toxic patterns that kept me stuck, frustrated, and wasting time.

Here are 5 red flags to watch out for (so you don’t have to learn the hard way like I did 👇):

1. The Breadcrumber

Keeps you on the hook with just enough texts to stay in your head — but never follows through. If they’re not showing up consistently, they’re not serious.

2. The Sex Talker

Turns every convo into innuendo. Too much, too soon. 🚩

If someone can't respect boundaries before coffee, they won’t after, either.

3. The Love Bomber

Showering you with “soulmate” talk on day two? Slow 👏 it 👏 down. Real love isn’t rushed — it’s built over time, not emojis.

4. The Pen Pal

Chats endlessly, avoids real-life plans. If they’re not willing to meet within 1–2 weeks, it’s time to log off on that convo.

5. The Ghoster

They vanish after deep convos or even great dates. It stings — but it’s about them, not you. Someone who ghosts can’t give you the consistency you deserve.

✨ The truth? You don’t need everyone to like you — just the right one to choose you back.

Dating When Life Won’t Slow Down We’re all trying to do it all. Hit the gym, eat something green occasionally, clock in enough hours to afford rent and maybe a weekend getaway, and—oh yeah—get at least 6 hours of sleep if the stars align. So how the hell are we supposed to date? The Reality Check – It’s Not Just About Time, It’s About Energy Sure, you might be able to carve out an hour for a…
