Do you trust them?

Listen, dating can be very tricky.

It’s hard to meet someone in real life these days, but also online dating is pretty terrifying.

There’s no winning!

Well, what if you entrusted your love life to your closest friends? Worth a try like.

There’s a new dating App called Ship, and it allows you to swipe for your mates, and your mates can swipe for you.

Fun, right?

And in fairness, your friends have your best interests at heart, so they may be the perfect people for this job.

The App was created by Betches, a popular media company.

Don’t worry though, you can still set your own preferences, so your pals can’t take the piss.

Betches founders said:

“As millennials, dating apps are a part of our collective experience, but the way we connect on these apps doesn’t mimic the real-life interaction that happens when people are out with friends.”

“That’s why we’re excited to announce our new dating app, Ship, built to bring social connection back to dating.”

“We build our lives around the connections and friendships that matter the most to us, and Ship allows us to be there for our friends as they navigate the world of dating.”

“You no longer have to get your friends to wear disguises and sit across the bar on your first date, because we have something even better.”

“Ship allows your friends to match for you, and you can send profiles in the in-app group chat before or after you match.”

“The chat makes it easy for your friends to discuss a match (and spot any red flags or hidden gems) before you commit to a date.”

“Ship brings friends together, even if they’re at different places in life. If you’re in a relationship, but love playing matchmaker for your single friends, now you can make your own account and choose on their behalf.”

Ship is in the very early stages, and is not yet available to download in Ireland.

It’s only a matter of time…
