The anti-dating app that works like real life. No algorithms, no endless swiping, just one glance at a time.
Dating should feel as natural as meeting someone across a crowded room.
You're at a café and see someone interesting. You glance. If they're interested, they glance back. No pressure, no "swiping"—just a shared moment.
You notice the basics: age, smoker/non, kids. The "vitals" you'd see or learn in the first 30 seconds of meeting someone in real life.
If the connection is there, you chat and see private photos. From there, it's out of the app and into the real world for coffee or a drink.
We don't store credit card info because we don't ask for it. You provide only the basics, keeping your personal data where it belongs—with you.
No "online now" pressure. No "last seen" anxiety. Everyone is treated as an equal, just like a chance encounter in real life.
Designed as a tool for your phone. Quick glances, real connections, and then getting back to living your actual life.
Other dating sites are backwards. They reveal too much personal information before you even decide if you'd like someone. Real life beats all dating sites so why not use reality as a guide? Only a glance mimics the experience you have in meeting somebody at a café. You glance, they glance back, you chate, they sit down at your table and learn about them and you go from there.
Most apps are designed to keep you scrolling and clicking so they can show you more ads or sell you "boosts." OnlyAGlance is different. The goal here isn't to keep you on the app—it's to help you find a spark and get you off the app as quickly as possible.
We value your privacy. We don't use complex algorithms to "match" you based on data-mining. We simply provide the space for you to find someone who catches your eye, just like you would in a coffee shop or a bookstore.
