Are you ready to connect with other single parents? If you're a single mum or dad looking to date other single parents, Frolo Dating is the first dating app just for single parents, connecting people that just 'get it'. Here's everything you need to know...
What is Frolo Dating?
Frolo Dating is a safe, empowering and respectful dating experience exclusively for single parents where you know from day one that everyone has the same shared importance of family and gets it.
What’s different about Frolo Dating?
Well, a few things actually!
- We have a set of dating values in place that everyone has to get on board with to ensure that Frolo Dating is a respectful dating experience.
- Frolo Dating is a mindful online dating experience with a focus on shared relationship values and compatibility
- Our anti-ghosting feature means you're less likely to get left on read
- And of course, everyone on the app will be a single parent so your kids will never be seen as ‘baggage’.
How does it work?
You can access Frolo Dating through the existing Frolo app. When you log in you can choose between two modes, Frolo Community and Frolo Dating. It will look something like this:
Frolo Dating is designed to be user-friendly and effective so once your profile is set up it's easy to start making connections:
- Viewing Profiles: Browse through profiles and choose either 'Like' or 'Not my type.'
- Matching: When two users like each other's profiles, a match is formed.
- Messaging: Once matched, you can start messaging each other privately.
How does Frolo’s anti-ghosting feature work?
When you match with someone on Frolo Dating and have a conversation, after a couple of days without either party responding, the person whose turn it is to send a message will receive a pop-up. The message will say ‘nobody likes to be left hanging, let Sara know why you haven’t messaged back yet’. Because we know how busy single parents are, we’ve made this process as simple as possible.
There will be a selection of messages to choose from to make life easier. These will include options such as ‘I’m having a really busy week, but I’ll message you soon’ or ‘I’ve found a connection with someone else but I’ve really enjoyed chatting with you and I wish you the best of luck’. We will continue to develop these options based on feedback, but we hope that having a range of friendly, no-conflict options will encourage people to communicate clearly and avoid anyone being left feeling like they’re not good enough.
What if I live in a remote area?
All remote areas will be part of a larger geographical area and the distance filters on Frolo Dating go up to 250km – which you can use if you’re open to longer-distance matches. Also you can enter the postcode of your nearest big town as your location setting for maximum impact.
What if I don’t want to use the Dating function in the Frolo app?
No problem – just continue to use the Frolo Community as normal. Frolo Dating is a completely separate mode on the app so it won’t impact the way you use the Frolo Community.
Who can join?
Frolo Dating is open to everyone, as long as you are a single parent.
