Everyone deep down in their heart (or wherever their heart should be) has a fear of rejection. Sometimes it’s just something we can shake it off―shake it off like T-Swift.
Professionally, academically, recreationally, athletically, emotionally―this fear lingers somewhere in the corner of our mind, but it’s never more pronounced than when we’re dating. So we reach for that security blanket.
We call our friends looking for reassurance, we pump ourselves up in front of the mirror, we tell ourselves, “Just. Keep. The. Crazy. Under. Wraps,” ignoring the fact that there’s nothing crazier than what we just did right there.
Face it: we’re never going to be more relaxed than we are with our friends, so what if we could combine meeting people on dating apps with kickin’ it with our people? Say hello to Squad.
Squad is the incredible app that takes the pressure off of solo dates by helping you meet new people with the friends you already have. It's kind of like Tinder. For groups. Without the sleaze.
Squad is the long-awaited answer to the question we’d never thought to ask: What if our friends were there to help us find love? No, not like setting us up with Chuck in accounting; the whiskey enthusiast who "likes music."
We're talking a dating app that provides an authentic and organic experience without the fear of rejection.
Sure, dating apps have certainly allowed us to meet people, but up to this point they haven’t really allowed us to meet people in the best way that we could. It's a bit too formal, too staged, and too much pressure right away.
Squad is the ultimate solution for this. Think of it as a dating app 2.0 taking away all the weird, pressurized parts of dating away and replacing it with the ease of a good night out with your friends.
Mix in the possibility of making a genuine connection with a real human being? Night. Made.
It works like this: you and your friends form a squad on the app. It can be you and your guy friends, you and your girlfriends, or even a nice medley of both. You can swipe right or left on other squads around you, and, if matched, you can start a group chat.
From there, you can take the weirdness of dating apps out of the mix and meet up IRL. Sure, if you're possibly into one or two people in the opposite squad, you can pursue that in a reasonable―respectful (read: human) way you can approach them, but everybody's got someone who can hold them accountable.

And in that, Squad also immediately takes any sketchiness out of online dating. Sure, there’s safety in numbers (can we get an amen?!), but you are the company you keep.
No, you’re not only as good as the people you hang out with, but if the people you hang out are total assholes, then, by association (thanks, math!), you probably are too.
So, if you decide to meet up with another Squad, it's a total no-pressure situation.
It's just like dating, only not horrible. Hell, even if the other squad doesn't show up, you still have a night out with your friends. It's a total win-win. There's absolutely no pressure, and absolutely no way to get rejected.
When you’re with your friends, you’re expected to be yourself even especially if it gets weird. That’s what friends are for. They bring out the best and they’re there through the worst. So, make the most out of your love life by calling in back up to help you bring out the best.
You should never swipe right alone. So stop it already. Swipe with friends and download the Squad app right here.
