Twinkle – Great dates nearby

8 THOUSAND MATCHES! We've helped 8 thousand pairs of Twinklers match, chat and meet.

Tired of swiping in dating apps? Twinkle helps you connect with people you're interested in faster, thanks to our powerful search filters. We actually want you to spend less time using the app and get better results. Plus, you'll be able to see who liked you for free. Isn't that only fair?

Here's how it works. Your match queue is filled with users who match your search settings. Use Match Juice to send a Like; or save your Juice for someone else. After you send a Like, your crush will be notified, and can connect with you. Want to encourage your crush to like you? Write a Shout and it will be shown on your profile when your crush sees you.

Here are some more ways Twinkle works better:

Search more, swipe less

We all have our preferences. Give us yours, and we'll only show you people who match pretty well. Choose from 10+ search parameters. Rest assured that everyone in your queue is a two-way match: you also match their prefs! Use your Juice more effectively, and save yourself time.

Scout distant lands with Travel

Use Twinkle Travel to move your search to distant cities worldwide with the most users.

Share your intent

Make it obvious that you're looking for a long-term relationship, nonexclusive dating, or just want to meet people. Plus, filter other people based on their intent.

Stand out, write a shout

See someone you really like? Write them a short message (called a shout) that will appear when they see your photo or profile. Prove that you've read their profile, say why you're a good match, or send your best pickup line.

See who has liked you

We understand that you want to know how many people are waiting for you to decide yes or no. So we not only show you how many you have, we also show who they are. See someone you like in your Admirers list but don't want to wait until they appear in your match queue? Use Instant Match to connect with them right away.

No subscriptions

Use our special Stars to access premium features in Twinkle. We have no recurring monthly charges. Spend as much or as little as you like — starting at under $2 (USD).

Are these profiles even active?

Are you sick of your dating apps not showing you when their users were last on the app? We hear you! Just use Stars to enable Profile Activity, and you'll see, on each profile, the online indicator telling you roughly when they were last on Twinkle.

Add some social proof

Easily add Instagram to your profile. We'll show your latest image posts, and add a link to open your feed in Instagram.

Look beyond photos

We don't emphasize the main photo on profiles. The photos take up less than half of the profile screen. Make better choices by looking beyond pictures. Consider adding interests to your profile, and view the interests of your potential match.

Twinkle. Search the stars, find someone you like.
