Testimonials

Real Conversations. Real Dates.

Liam M, 32
“I’ve tried other apps but all I did was swipe, talk to people, and then nothing happened. On Wishful Thinking I used the flash date feature to plan a comedy show date and ended up matching with a girl who liked the same comedian! Honestly I don’t think we would’ve matched on one of the other apps. We had an awesome first date and many more after that!”
Eva B, 23
“Hands down the best dating app I’ve used so far. I’m tired of endless talking that goes nowhere or boring coffee chats. Very refreshing and super fun dates!”
Bryan C, 36
“What I love about this app is it cuts right to the chase. I’m pretty busy with my career so I love the flash date feature. I choose a fun event, maybe add an incentive as a gift to my date, and boom next thing you know I’m having a blast!”

FAQ

Most Common Questions.

How does the flash date system work?
You plan the date first and find your match second. Choose the time and date, length of date, what you'll be doing on the date, how long it should be visible to other users, and whether or not you want to include WT credits.

Activity categories include movies, restaurants, concerts, sports, and more! People can find your flash date in a separate feed and swipe on it if they are interested.*

*Only men can organize a flash date right now but the feature will soon be available to women as well.
How do the Wishful Thinking credits work?
Half of the credits are disbursed to you once the date is confirmed as started by both parties. Each party has the right to cancel within 45 minutes, effectively ending the date. If neither party cancels, then the other half of the credits are released. You can use these credits at one of the many highlighted establishments in our store.
Is it mandatory to verify my identity, income, job, and education?
Not mandatory but strongly recommended. Verified users get a blue checkmark which signals to app users that their information has been confirmed by us.
Where do the events or restaurants in the app come from?
Our app pulls events in real-time from all over. When you scroll through our curated list, you're looking at real events and activities that are actually happening near you!
