Dating app in New York — M

Dating in NYC without the endless back-and-forth. M matches you on compatibility and plans the date — Bemelmans Bar, a Friday night at the Met, the High Line. Plus MSocial and MLife.

A couple walking through a city at night

New York has every dating app, every run club and every singles night there is — and still, according to the city's own health department, more than half of New Yorkers feel lonely at least some of the time. The problem isn't options. It's turning a match into a plan.

How M works in New York

  • MDate matches on compatibility — values, life plans, interests, education and work — and schedules the date at a place you both like.
  • Sunday Drops sets up a date for you on selected Sundays.
  • MSocial for friends and shared plans across the five boroughs.
  • MLife shows how busy bars and venues are tonight and matches you with people in the same place.
