I built a dating app that only works if you show up in real life. Would you use it?

Not sure if anyone else here feels this — but after years of swiping, flaking, and breadcrumbing, I just got burned out.

So I started working on something different. A new app that lets people check in to real places (like bars, cafés, events), show what they’re actually looking for (flirt, friends, date, etc.), and play simple in-person games to break the ice. No swiping. No pressure.

It’s called Bente, and we’re about to launch it in a few cities.

Curious — would any of you actually try something like this? Or is it too late for real-life dating to make a comeback?
