Tinder’s a snooze, Grindr scares us, Match/eHarmony cost too much, and don’t even get us started on OKCupid. Can anyone get the totally not awkward world of online dating right?

Well, a new app called Happn has come to switch things up, and it looks like they’ve figured out a thing or two about appealing to our egos.

1. You’ll know where to hang out

Since it’s all about who you Happn to come across (see what we did there?), you’ll get to see what parts of town have the hottest people.

If you find yourself liking more people after going to the mall, maybe start going to the mall more. If you get more attention when you go to a certain bar, maybe you should go there more often. If you match with more people after eating at McDonald's, maybe you should work on your priorities.

2. No more crosstown commutes to see people

Since you’ll be choosing from who you’ve Happned (get it yet?) to come across around you, you’ll probably meet people that are pretty close to you.

Gone are the days of burning through gas money for your life partner/night partner. No more traversing traffic to go on a lousy date with someone who’ll probably just stare at your crotch all night.

3. You can finally be the charmer you always knew you were

“Likes” are out! Happn knows you’re too cool to “like” someone, but also too cool to really tell someone know how you feel. Well, now you get to “charm” and send “crushes.”

It’s the perfect balance! Crushes only matter when they’re mutual. And while “charms” let them know you’re interested, it’ll feel like you’re checking them out at the bar. You’ll feel in control instead of begging for a match. Trust us, your self-esteem will thank you later.

4. You’ll only “charm” the best of the best

Now, don’t get carried away, please! To “charm” someone, you need credits. But, that’s a good thing. It’ll keep you from going around and charming people left and right.

With a limit, you’ll make sure to really check out their pictures and their profiles before you profess your love. No more strategically ignoring that person who wasn’t as hot as you first thought.

5. You’ll be able to choose people based on their job and education as well

If Tinder felt too ambiguous or made you feel shallow, well don’t you worry.

Along with pictures, Happn lets you specifically tell people what you do and where you went to school.

If you were feeling a little iffy about that guy with the hot body, maybe his bus boy job will help you decide. Or that girl with the weird nose but beautiful hair? Perhaps her Ivy League education will make the decision for you.

6. There will always be someone new to check out

You know that phrase about people going in and out of your life? Yeah, we can’t remember it either.

But, since people are always on the move, someone new will always Happn (it’s…it’s the app name) across your path.

Most apps get boring since they keep showing you the same people within several miles. Happn’ers go in and out of your feed all the time. As if you need another reason to stare at your phone even more often.

7. You’ll blush like a little kid again

When you’re feeling down on yourself, just look at your profile and see all the “crushes” and “charms” you’ve received.

Happn keeps track of each and every one, and when your matches don’t equal your crushes, maybe you’ll blush knowing someone somewhere out there likes you.

It may be the brony in the fedora, but, hey, you don’t have to tell yourself that, right?
