Pre-launch
Photos stay blurred until you choose to look. Conversations have a 24-hour timer. Eros is built for people who’d rather meet one person well than swipe through a thousand.
Join the waitlistThe problem
A photo, a second, a swipe. Multiply by a thousand and the math turns every person into a small decision you make on the way to the next one. The product is fast. The experience is exhausting. Most people we know are tired of it.
How it works
A short questionnaire about how you actually want to date. Not hobbies — priorities. The answers shape who you meet.
One to three matches a day. No feed, no infinite scroll. Each match is the result of two questionnaires lining up — not luck of the draw.
Before any photo, you get a short note about what the two of you might have in common. If it lands, you choose to see them.
Every conversation runs on a 24-hour timer. Propose a date and the timer pauses. If the clock runs out, the match closes.
What makes Eros different
Every match arrives as a silhouette. You read a short note before you see anything else. When you tap Show me, the photos come into focus — once, and only after both people have chosen to look. It puts the face in context, not first.
The note is short. It draws on both questionnaires and points at something the two of you might have in common — a value, a way of spending a Sunday, an answer that surprised us. No compatibility score. No five-star rating. Just a reason to begin.
Every conversation runs against a 24-hour clock. The timer keeps the exchange honest: you talk like the moment matters, because it does. Propose a date and the clock pauses. Let it run out and the match closes — cleanly, without ghosting.
Who Eros is for
Eros is small on purpose. The questions take time. The matches are few. The conversations end if you let them drift. It will not be the app that fills your evening, and that is the point. If you want to meet one person well, this is for you. If you want a feed, there are faster places to find one.
A note from us
The apps that came before us optimised away every moment of thought. Easier swipes. Faster matches. Photos first, words later, if at all. The result was a dating experience that felt like scrolling through a magazine of strangers.
We made the opposite bet. A questionnaire that takes time. Matches that arrive one at a time. A conversation that has to go somewhere before midnight. None of this is friction by accident. It is the product asking you to mean it.
Eros is dating that asks you to slow down. And then to show up.
Frequently asked
No. The questionnaire asks how you want to date, including whether you are looking for something monogamous, open, or undefined for now. The matching engine uses your answer; we do not treat any one shape of relationship as the default.
Eros is free at launch. We plan a paid tier later for people who want more matches per day, and we will say so clearly before anything changes. No surprise charges, no auto-renewing trial.
The note draws on both questionnaires. It looks for a value, a way of spending time, or an answer you both gave that fits together. It does not score you against each other and it does not tell you who to pick. It is a starting line, not a verdict.
The match closes. The person stays in the pool, and the two of you can be matched again later if the system thinks the fit still holds. The 24-hour clock is a constraint, not a punishment.
Looks matter. We just want them to land in context, not as the first signal. By the time you see a face on Eros, you have already read something a person wrote about themselves. The order changes how you read the photo.
Propose a date and the timer pauses. The clock is there to keep conversations moving toward meeting, not to penalise a busy week. The vast majority of dating-app conversations that drift past the first day never become anything else; the timer is our way of being honest about that.
Your questionnaire answers are used to match you and to write the note. They are not sold and not shared with advertisers. Read our privacy policy for the full picture.
