Laila: First Date App

Love this concept and network of people they have on the app, feels like something NYC dating has been missing for a while! It’s also great to see what types of dates people enjoy, great way to filter out if you’re a match early on!!

Laila focuses on what dating is all about - going on a date! This is what Laila makes a priority, putting experiences forward and converting an online encounter into a real life activity that is not necessarily another drink. It fills this gap that was there in other apps, and gives the opportunity to introduce yourself in person, on your own terms, rather than through a few photos and a one liner.

I recently tried out Laila and I have to say, it’s a game-changer in the world of dating apps! Instead of just swiping through endless profiles, this app lets you swipe through actual date ideas – how cool is that? You get to post activities you’d like to do, whether it’s hiking, cooking classes, or trying a new restaurant, and then match with people who are interested in the same experiences. It takes the guesswork out of what to do on a first date and helps you connect over shared interests right from the start. The layout is super easy to use, and I love how it puts more focus on the fun activities you’ll actually enjoy, rather than just looks. If you’re tired of the usual dating apps and want to find someone who shares your vibe and activity interests, this is the app for you. Can’t wait to see where it goes!
