Meet at the Mirror

Before this app, I spent many years without a social life as all the Christians I met just wanted to do Bible studies and worship nights. While I love both, I never had anyone to go to baseball, concerts, dinner, movies, kayaking, karoake, or dancing with unless I was on the dating apps & I got tired of those…thanks to Meet at the Mirror, my social calendar is now full! If you’re legalistic this crowd won’t be your vibe, but if you believe you can be in the world and not of it & have fun in moderation, you’ll love it. Some people drink, some don’t. Overall though, the community feels safe as hookup culture is unwelcome. Speaking of safe, one thing I really appreciate is how seriously the admins take safety. At a recent event, one member openly shared his derogatory, sexually & physically violent thoughts about women that led many to believe that he’s an unsafe individual. Countless folks including other males reported him to the app owners and he was quickly removed. He’s apparently very good at using ChatGPT to write things that make it sound like he’s the victim, but here’s the truth. Only con: The app itself is glitchy. I’ve had to reinstall it several times in order to see new messages. But honestly? I’m just grateful this community exists at all. Thank you for creating a much needed space for Christians to do life with in Austin! :)

What I love about The Mirror is that it feels like a community first and a dating app second. You can see plans people are posting around Austin and naturally meet others who share your values and interests. It’s such a healthier and more intentional way to connect than typical dating apps. I’ve already met some amazing people through the community, and it’s refreshing to see a space focused on meaningful relationships instead of superficial dating culture. If you’re a Christian in Austin who wants deeper friendships or intentional dating, this is such a great app to be part of. Highly recommend. 🙌🏼

The Mirror community has been an amazing way for me to meet locals who are intentionally dating and/or are interested in self-development. This is such a better alternative to dating apps and is rewarding even if you don’t find your person here. The app is also extremely easy to navigate, post your own plans, and communicate with other members. Highly recommend!
