About Us
Hi, we’re Carmen Hamman and Caitlin Mclaren
We’re best friends, hopeless romantics, and the hearts behind this little leap back into real life love.
Like so many others, we found ourselves tangled in the chaos of modern dating. Endless swiping, sudden ghosting and connections that barely scratched the surface left us feeling more discouraged than excited. And somewhere between “seen” and silence, we realised we couldn’t be the only ones craving something more meaningful.
So we decided to create it.
This venture is our way of slowing dating down, bringing intention back into the mix and reminding people that real connection still exists beyond a screen. It’s for those who believe chemistry is better felt than filtered, and that love is worth showing up for… properly. 💛✨
Meet Caitlin
I’m 30, never married and without kids, but that doesn’t mean I’ve escaped the emotional rollercoaster that comes with modern dating. I’ve felt the highs, the let downs and the confusion that seem to come standard with putting yourself out there these days.
I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it’s become to meet people authentically when so much of dating happens behind a screen. Swipes replace conversations, and real connection often gets lost in the process.

Deep down, I knew there had to be a better way. A way that brings people back to genuine interaction, real chemistry and meaningful connection, without the noise. And that belief became the spark behind creating something different.
Meet Carmen
At 37, I found myself newly single after a 17-year relationship and suddenly back in the dating world… which had changed a lot. Re-entering it felt overwhelming. Dating apps felt like a game I never signed up for, with rules I didn’t quite understand and prizes that rarely felt real.
It didn’t take long to realise how hard it had become to find genuine connection in a world that’s increasingly virtual. I wasn’t looking for endless swiping or surface level chats. I was craving something real. Real conversations. Real chemistry. Real people.

And I knew I wasn’t alone.
That longing for authenticity didn’t just spark a personal journey, it became the heart behind creating a space where meaningful connections can actually grow. Not just for me, but for anyone who’s tired of the noise and ready for something more intentional. 💛
Why We Started This
We’re best friends who met in the most unexpected way… on a popular television dating show, both bravely (and optimistically) trying to find love ourselves. While the romantic fairy tale didn’t quite unfold the way we imagined, something even better did: a genuine friendship, built on honesty, laughter and a shared understanding of how confusing modern dating can be.
Being on a dating show gave us a front- ow seat to the highs, the awkward moments and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with putting your heart out there. It also showed us just how important real connection, clear intentions and authenticity truly are.
That experience sparked the idea for this platform. We wanted to create a dating space that feels more human, more thoughtful and far less transactional. A place where people are encouraged to show up as themselves, where meaningful connections matter more than endless swiping, and where dating feels hopeful again.
We’re not relationship “gurus” or matchmakers sitting on the sidelines. We’ve lived the dating journey, learned from it, laughed at it and grown through it. This platform is our way of turning those lessons into something positive, supportive and genuinely exciting for others looking for love.
Welcome to a dating experience created by people who truly get it. 💛
