According to data from Pew Research Center, around 47% of Americans say dating is harder now than it was 10 years ago. That’s almost half of the American population who are struggling to find love and keep it. When it comes to online dating, the problems remain the same.

People on the apps are up against some difficult barriers to finding love. They’re dealing with issues like:

• The time investment required to online date
• Transitioning from app to real-life
• Lack of response to online interactions
• Getting catfished
• Finding long-term partnership
• Singles not knowing what they want
• Too many options
• Safety and privacy concerns
• The draining process of trial and error
• & so much more.

Dating doesn’t have to be a struggle. Believe it or not, it can be fun when you take the right approach. At Geml, we know that there are deeper themes at work when it comes to finding a match, so we invented a concept called Discovery Dating. Discovery Dating is a unique and innovative approach to finding compatible matches.

What if online dating could look like:

• Having healthy boundaries and keeping them?
• Knowing what you want and not settling for less?
• Discovering yourself, your interests, and your dislikes?
• Prioritizing your mental and emotional health?
• Learning and respecting your needs, values, and aspirations?
• Finding meaningful connections regardless of long-term compatibility?
• Being vulnerable and authentic?

What do all these great benefits of Discovery Dating have in common?

Discovering yourself.

Discovering yourself means having self-awareness, meeting your needs, acknowledging your emotions, setting boundaries, and making yourself a priority, not an afterthought.

Because this is about progress, not perfection, you’re better able to course-correct over time as you navigate challenges both personally and interpersonally. Self-love also enables meaningful connections based on vulnerability and honesty.

With Discovery Dating, you can find more room for self-love, and self-reflection, and get closer to what lights you up and far from what holds you back.

Discovery dating goes deeper. Key Features of Discovery Dating Include:

• Preference-Based Matching: Participants provide their preferences and are matched one-on-one based on compatibility.
• Online Discovery Chats: Each match engages in an online discovery chat to get to know each other better.
• Feedback and Rematching: Participants provide feedback on their experience and indicate their interest in being matched with their partner again. Participants are then rematched based on preferences and feedback.
• Pausing Matching: Individuals can pause matching at any time to take a break or focus on other aspects of their dating journey.

Discovery Dating utilizes research from relationship science to create a more effective and personalized dating experience.

Working with the Discovery Dating principles, dating can be a catalyst for self-reflection, where you understand your needs, values, and desires.

When you have a solid idea of who you are and what you want, the way you respond to a potential mate will change. You’ll find aspects and insights into your character that you haven’t explored before.

It’s exciting, fun, and new.

With Geml, try Discovery Dating for yourself and experience a meaningful relationship based on authenticity, compatibility, and attraction.
