Why the Datingbutton exists
Datingbutton.com was born out of a simple frustration: dating through apps feels more and more like work. Endless swiping, superficial chats that lead nowhere, and matches who live on the other side of the country. While the nicest encounters simply happen — at the supermarket, at a festival, over drinks.
The only thing missing is clarity. Because how do you know whether that lovely person next to you is single and open to a conversation? That is exactly the problem the Datingbutton solves: a small pin with a big message. Whoever wears it says, without words: “Yes, I’m single and you’re welcome to talk to me.”
No algorithms, no profiles, no filters. Just real people meeting in real life — in their own neighbourhood, at their own pace. We believe love isn’t inside your phone, but just around the corner.
What we stand for
Real over digital
A smile in real life says more than a hundred messages. The button brings people back to where it all starts: eye contact.
Local and low-key
For a few euros you’re in. No subscription, no account, no fine print — one button is all it takes.
Privacy first
No profile, no data hoarding. We only ask what we need to deliver your button — nothing more.
The story of Carla and Jan
Ten years ago, Jan was at a dance night. On the other side of the room: Carla. They had seen each other before — but neither of them knew whether the other was single. And that was (and still is) the tricky part: you can never tell from the outside. Nobody likes to risk being turned down by simply walking up to someone.
Jan hesitated all evening. Only at the last dance did he gather all his courage — and guess what? Carla was single too, and she had been hoping all night that he would come over. They have now been happily together for ten years, and they still dance.
“If we’d had a Datingbutton back then, we would have connected much sooner.”
— Carla, 10 years later
That is exactly why the Datingbutton exists: so you don’t have to guess, and so that one dance doesn’t have to remain a ten-year memory of “what if I had said something?”.
