Would you believe me if I said I hadn’t gone on a date in five months? Or that I scroll halfheartedly and flick between dating apps like Tinder and POF, because I am bored of the same predictable messages, where guys think that ‘Hi’ or ‘let’s fuck’ is an appropriate way to message someone? And don’t even get me started on trying to find guys at the bar; despite how I might appear online, I have never made any attempts to conceal how ‘socially awkward’ I am and when it comes to someone of the opposite sex trying to proposition me, I clam up and go full frontal ‘ice queen’. In short, I find it hard to get past the ‘second date club‘ and find myself often being the third wheel in clubs, bars and events because A. I am probably too fussy and don’t give people a chance, B. Find it hard to let my guard down for fear of rejection and C. have self confidence issues.
In fact the last date that I went on was with a guy who was not my usual type but who I ended up liking because he had a great personality. We ended up going on two dates and the second one was a super intense date at his house. And no we didn’t sleep together if that is what you are thinking; there was no chemistry but I did end up staying over because I missed the last train home. Queue an awkward morning after chat and an even more awkward text once I had gone, going into great expanses of detail as to why he was not attracted to me in any shape or form. Safe to say my pride was a little hurt but not because I liked him-although I thought I did- but because it was another case of someone ‘finding something wrong with me’. And while I have been asked out on other dates and have been using dating apps, I still haven’t found someone who I ‘click with’. Which is why when I found out that a ‘new dating app’ called pear (and yes no capital letters) was designed on the premise ‘ of science being able to find you your perfect match’, I was intrigued to say the least. Besides, I had nothing to lose and as long as I wouldn’t find any fuckwits who were just after one thing, I saw no harm in testing the app out.
Developed by Daniele Condorelli and David Petersen in May 2016, the company was born when Daniele,a researcher, and David, an entrepreneur, met in San Francisco, thanks to an AirBnB stay. Both Daniele and David had been mulling over whether mathematics and a Nobel-Prize-winning algorithm to create a dating app could potentially ‘change the dating game’ and thus ‘Algorithm Matching LTD’ (the company behind pear) was born. But how on earth would a new app like pear be able to differentiate itself from competitors like Tinder and POF? Well unlike Tinder ‘ there would not be a swipe right/left feature’, instead pear would use a comparison feature, which would allow you to choose between two accounts and by double clicking on the chosen account, you would ‘rank up’ their account. Plus another cool feature is that if you see an account that you are just not interested in or feel like it is a spam account you can either ‘report the account if it is spam’ and ‘hold and swipe right’ to take that account out, meaning that they will no longer come up in your comparison matches.
But just how well did pear perform in finding me true love? Well, I have to admit it is too soon to tell, as it was only officially launched a week ago, but from what I have seen so far, I would say that I much prefer the way it creates matches as opposed to Tinder or POF, who seems to match you with anyone, including that creepy neighbor you filed a restraining order against. Yes him, the one with the bushy mustache and the beady eyes. But all jests aside I found that there was a strange sort of satisfaction in watching the app use its award winning algorithm to ‘guess’ what my ideal type is. It was fascinating watching it bring up ‘my most ranked up profiles’ and having to think hard between two profiles that I really liked- a ‘game of dates’ as opposed to game of thrones, if you will. As a Libra we all know that I am terrible at making decisions, so having an app that can help me make the right choice and not go for the same f**kboys that I am used to falling for, is proving to be a welcome change. Lets just hope this fusspot aka me can find her Prince who is a naughty gentleman with a heart of gold and not a fuckboy who wants to just f**k.
As pear is new, you might find that you might not be able streamline age ranges, like you would on Tinder and POF, so you might be comparing ‘pears’ that might be older or younger than what you might normally go for, but I wouldn’t necessarily say that this is a bad thing and will most likely improve with time. Besides as someone who doesn’t usually date anyone younger than me and tends to go for men between 28-40- yes I like older men and not because I want to be ‘a sugar baby’, I just think that they are more mature- I might find that I match with someone who might be younger or older than I would go for on pear and find that it was the best decision that I could have ever made! Who knows it might even be a blessing in disguise and while I have high standards because I am not going to settle for any ol’ pear, maybe being a little more relaxed about my age requirements, might help me find the one.
Another redeeming quality that pear had to offer, was how there were no ‘long ass questionnaires’ that you had to fill in to find the one or even creepy messages from five billion men, who would either tell me crap like ‘ I wish I was invisible so I could watch you get undressed’ or tell me that they were looking for a f**kbuddy and I looked like the perfect woman for the ‘job’. Sorry mate not happening. So I was grateful that there were no losers who just wanted to get their dick wet, and while there might have been the ‘odd spam profile’, the majority of the users seemed to be pretty normal to me. And let me tell you that is high praise considering the loons I have been dealing with on POF and Tinder, so a big bravo and cheers to pear.
While I liked the simple user format, it was the concept of ‘pears’ – a play on words referring to pairs’ that appealed to me the most. Because unlike Tinder,where you are matched with so many people that it creates ‘congestion’, meaning that you are matched to so many people who are unlikely to message you back, by using a comparison feature where the mathematical formula analyzes patterns in your preferences, in the long run more meaningful matches will be created. So if there is someone on the app who really likes you and continues to rank your ‘profile’ as their first choice and you do the same in return, eventually pear will establish that a ‘pear-fect match’ will be created. Otherwise known as a deferred-acceptance algorithm, pear produces matches that are both ‘mathematically stable’ and attuned to what it has deemed to be your perfect match. Sadly for me, my prince still lies in slumber but despite not finding true love with pear yet, I remain optimistic that over time, as the app’s user pool increases, I will find that going on a date with someone who likes me as I am, will not be an impossible obstacle to overcome.
For now though, I’m so single that I don’t even know what a boy is anymore. I’m so single that looking at couples making out on the train makes me want to puke and don’t even get me started on ‘rom coms’ where the protagonist manages to find her ‘Prince Charming’ and they live happily ever after. Yet I can’t even get a guy to even ask me out on a date LOL. Now that is what real life looks like. So guys on pear, if you are after someone, who likes to think that she is ‘funny’, sees food as the way to her heart and would like nothing more than movies on the couch while we pig out on pizza and popcorn than I’m your gal. But if you’re after a girl who looks insta glam all the time, then sorry mate I don’t look like that all the time. In fact truth be told,9 times out of 10 I am make up free, have wild hair that looks like it has escaped from the zoo and like to burrow away in my woman cave, otherwise known as my room, where I can escape from humanity.

I’m absolutely loving this outfit! It’s fun, fresh and exciting. Love the sequin style. I too haven’t been on a date in ages! Have no idea where to start lol
Interesting. I’ve never heard of pear, but I’ll have to look into it. I’ve had my fair share of awkward dates for sure!
This looks like a cool app for people in the dating game. I am sure there will be more updates to the app to make the experience better for its users. Thank you for the honest review, and I wish you well in finding that one true Mr. Right who will love you as you are.
I think science can be great at finding a match, on OK Cupid they match you depending on answers to a questionnaire and me and my other half were a 95% match and that’s worked so far x
How long does it take to do that test though? I think science is great, but only does so much. I have been hesitant to try any app out.
Pare sounds like an interesting dating app that may just work! You will have to let us know if it eventually “pares” you up with mr perfect. To be honest there is something about dating apps that scares me which puts me off using them! At least you have intersting stories to tell from using them though!
Don’t worry about wanting to puke when you see couples all over each other on the train! I’m married and I still hate seeing that sort of stuff go on in front of me lol
i have not been in the dating world in so long, but I was so awkward when I was lol. I am lucky I found my husband because I hated dating lol I was always the girl who was too independent, too loud, too forward,… guys didn’t seem to like that much. This dating app you mentioned, pear, seems really interesting and I may have a friend who would want to hear about it!
thought I was the only one who frequent dating apps. its like a love hate relationship between me and it. i download today I meet awkward dates then I delete only to download again.
Gorgeous outfit, Ana! Here’s hoping Pear (love the name, too) works out for you! I know you’ve probably heard it a million times (I got sick of hearing it, too) but it will happen when you least expect it or aren’t actively looking for it! x
Such a lovely outfit, I haven’t been on a date for so long. eek. x
Pear sounds like a cool new platform and I hope it helps you find the love of your life!! I think the whole online/app dating thing sure has come a long way!
I like the play on words for the name Pear! Very clever! I think we are in a bit of a throw away sociaty where we want to find instant love the same way we find everything else, this is a possible reason apps do not work well. Best of luck with this new app and finding love, you seem very confident and are beautiful so I have no doubt the right guy will present himself when the timing si right 🙂
Never had heard pe ‘pear’ before, well not in this sense by any stretch:) But hope it turns out better than the scary and misleading Tinder.
I’m sending this post to all my single girlfriends, so they can get onto this app ASAP!
I’ve never heard of pear – I’m married, so not been on the dating scene for a long time!
I’m not single but if I was I would probably give Pear a go in the name of finding love! Looking fabulous as always x
Oh wow, Tinder is kinda sorta popular in India but there’s no dearth of such apps everywhere else, amirite haha!
All the best, I truly hope you find someone you like! You are awesome, pulling a Frida Kahlo look like this gets you all the brownie points, even if you find yourself nitpicking… It is okay.
Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us strangers on the internet!
I am so glad I am not dating in this day and age but it sounds interesting. We used to use maths for matching people up back in the 80’s & 90’s in a fun, childish way – very fond memories of working it all out 🙂 – Good Luck xx
I have to admit I’ve not heard of Pear, it definitely sounds like a different and interesting way to try and put people together, good luck with it.
The very first lesson I ever received while working in the music business:
Don’t look for love because you’ll never find it,it has to find you. That is absolutely true then and true today.
And there is nothing wrong for being fussy or having high standards….
Like any cyber matches, I think going in with no to low expectations is the best way to approach. Dating today has a different set of rules. Women should treat dating like a job interview with a beverage or a meal 🙂
Keep your head up! I couldn’t imagine being out in the dating world right now. Good luck, someone great will come along one of these days, and they will sweep you off your feet.
I hope you can get hope on love, you know when you find the right one! Also, let me just say that I loved your outfit, it’s such a cool play suit!
I hope Pear works out for you! I can’t imagine how stressful & annoying apps like Tinder can be at times! x
It’s an interesting dating app concept. I’ve had some friends have success with some lesser known apps
Good luck on your journey! That sounds more promising than the other apps out there. Plus, you rockin that outfit!
Best of luck with finding the right man for you. He’s out there, maybe right now thinking about trying a new dating app called pear!
I’m married, but my husband and I have this ridiculous urge to make online dating profiles one time and see if it would match us with each other. Lol. I hope pear works out for you! I see nothing wrong with using algorithms to match people up, men used to just basically sell off their daughters, so I’d say we’ve come a long way!
Ana you look amazing! I love that outfit. Dating apps really aren’t for me, I don’t think I’ll ever use them, because I hear such awful things from friends on Tinder and the like! The mathmatical algorithm of Pear sounds interesting though, I’ll let my single friends know about it!
Emily from http://emilyunderworld.co.uk ♡
Ana, I have no idea how you don’t have guys beating down your door to ask you on a date!! Not only are you exceptionally beautiful, but you are kind hearted and talented and a whole list of things that would make you the perfect partner. Pear sounds interesting, don’t give up on romance just yet. xxx
This sounds like an interesting concept and i love that they use maths to work out your matches. I have a single friend who might like to try this out considering it sounds so much better than tinder. I hope you find your Prince soon but stand your ground and don’t just settle.
I new math and algorithm can do a great many things but i’ll always prefer to let random do it’s thing and help me to find the one. Although I have already found it. I love your outfit!
Sounds really interesting and I will be curious to hear more about it and how well it works once it has been out longer. That being said, Im glad Im not in the dating pool anymore. LOL
Oh cool, this app sounds interesting. I imagine it can be difficult dating these days. I’m not sure if I’d have the patience for it.
I just love your outfit!
This app looks different as you say and I love the fact it doesn’t randomly “pair you” off with just anyone. Tinder and Plenty of Fish are the big ones in Ireland. I’m sure its just a matter of time before Pear is up there and maybe be in the first place when it comes to choosing a dating site.
I think it certainly sounds interesting and I would love to give it a go. I was only on Tinder for a few weeks and I actually managed to avoid too many idiots or guys who just wanted one thing, but I think that finding a match based on an algorithm might help to pick better potential dates.
Idk … maybe dating apps on which we describe ourselves in a lengthy way is really no good altogether.
Guys like a mystery and a chase and deep in their hearts they might not want to know but very little about us before the date.
As of now they get “What’s on offer” all the time when logging in. Girls are auditioning for them. This system doesn’t seem to make the guys want anything monogamous.
I am tempted to write only a short mysterious presentation, and a profile pic with a big smile, and then i’m done.
“I only take date offers, I don’t answer any other texts”
Will they dare to ask a girl out right away, based only on a face photo and a little two-liner description?
And that is the beauty of pair. You don’t have to write a lengthy profile, so everything is kept mysterious, which means that you wont run out of things to talk about on the date. I actually like wordy profiles myself though as it shows a lot about their character and the type of person that they are 🙂
I used to be the ultimate ice queen, saying no immediately to any man who tried to approach -even if they approached my girlfriends XD. Now I’m celebrating my 5th year anniversary with my Hubby 🙂 So there is always hope, and as they say love finds you in the most unexpected moment.
I like the fact that pear seems to use a much better matching process than a site like Tinder. Hope the algorithm works for you and if I was single I would certainly be looking into joining for sure.
I haven’t heard of pear – I think dating is so hard these days isn’t it?
Having been married for so long I am far from on-line or any other dating. I think on-line is like most other dating and hit or miss. Hopefully you will find someone, you look great.
Pear sounds interesting and I hear what you’re saying about the troubles with dating. It can be so harsh and leave you feeling hopeless. I’ve been there – but then I met someone and somehow you forget about what it was like. Love your post – thanks for sharing.
Lovely outfit. I’ve not used a dating app but they do sound interesting.
Sounds like an interesting new concept. My latest attempt was Bumble. I’ve never heard of POF, maybe it’s just a UK thing? Let’s be real, all apps are just a so much work with such obnoxious men haha.
Hang in there! I met my husband online, but we both were looking for a committed relationship. Best of luck with pear!
Love this outfit, you look amazing. Love the way you accessorized and as always great photography.
I’ve never used any kind of dating app and I think this one’s so much better than the other apps that I’ve heard of. I hope it finally brings you love and not another guy that’s full of BS.
The only dates I’ve been on in years are with my hubby so I’m not familiar with the apps. I like the play on words with “pear” to. My best to you and all life has to offer.
I’d be totally lost now dating. However, this sounds like a much better option than the crap my friend is using where people are really only looking for one thing. I’ll pass this on to her in the hope I don’t have to hear anymore horror stories!
Seems like ages that I have dated and these apps look really cool for those who would love to. All the best, with pear! Further loved the sequin work on your outfit, just gave a great sense.
It’s not easy to find someone who meets all the qualities we need and want in someone. More so today, when most people tell you one thing and show you another. I believe you’ll find someone when you’re not looking. That’s how it usually happens 😉
I will have to tell my single friends about this app. I think you look amazing in this outfit. It is perfect for a date night.
You look absolutely stunning loves! I swear, you don’t need no help for this quest — it will happen in the right time. But science for matching sounds like a very interesting approach. Just so you know, you are amazing inside and out.
I wanted to see what all the craze was with dating apps but I never really tried them myself. I think it’s awesome that you stumbled upon this one. It sounds really great and promising too.
You look superb! I love how you’ve styled the floral dress with sparkly heel shoes, I could never pull that one off, I tend to go very boring with my colours 🙂
Whoa! this new platform will soon hit the gang. I have several friends that really into online match / dating thingy – I will not be surprised for them to like this, if I share your post. I am a fan of logic, algorithms, numbers and math stuff – so I think this new app is promising.
Dating and relationships are quite complicated, and I find it amazing how quickly we have adapted to swiping through hundreds of potential partners while half-watching Netflix. Indeed, dating has primarily moved online and into phones now.
This sounds like such a great alternative to the likes of Tinder/POF. I’ve never used either myself but heard such awful things about the messages people get sent. I really like the idea of science helping you find “the one”.
Ami xxx
I’ve never tried a dating website, they’ve just never appealed to me. Maybe in the future I will? Who knows. Good luck with finding love x
Loved reading your cute story about your love dates. This app sounds something different and new. Havent checked it before. I just love your outfit. Looks very pretty and gorgeous.
You will definitely found your man soon. I found my amore from a dating app, and yeah never change for who you are.
It seems like this is a cool app for dating.Finding a matching guy can be difficult.Anyway,I love reading such stories from your blog.Lovely outfit too..
This sounds interesting, I like that they are matching you a little better than randomly giving you everyone in a 20 mile radius x
Haha! Oh my gosh, it’s scary how much I can relate! I’ve been single for the longest time too, but dating apps have always kinda scared me (I’m definitely not looking for a F*ckboy either!) pear sounds like a breath of fresh air though – and I’m super picky too, so I’d be interested to see who it matched me with! xx
I have never thought of finding a true love. But my friends do and they also try to date online. Maybe I should tell them about this app. Anyway, thanks for sharing your story.
You and me are in the same position, I can go as far as saying i am staying off dating apps. I met someone who is different from everyone I have ever dated, went on 5 dates had an amazing time and the he says ‘friends’ anyway long story short I am off the radar until 2018. I will consider pear in 2018
Firstly, our little jumpsuit is #totesadorbs! Secondly, I am SO glad I am married! Dating was SO much easier when I was in my 20’s!! No apps, still using land line phones and pagers! haha
I haven’t done any online dating so I am afraid I don’t know much on this subject. What’s wrong with “Hi” as a starting point? lol I am a dork!
Pear sounds like a great app. I found it online the other day. The dating world can be tiring.
You’re so photogenic! Once again, a great post x
Never heard of Pear but sounds interesting. And might I say, you look gorgeous, as per!
Looking gorgeous as ever. I met my hubby through Yahoo personals and we’ve been together 12 years. Try a different dating platform. Not everyone is just out for a s**g xxx
I’ve never heard of Pear! There’s so many dating apps out there I can’t keep up lol. I never did get to try any of these because they became popular after I met my boyfriend. I feel ancient and I’m only 22! lol
Dating is something you shouldn’t force yourself to do. You go out with someone when you feel like it and there’s not always time for that. It will happen when it happens.
Oooh I am exploring the murky waters of online dating at the moment – I am going to look at pear, I haven’t heard of it before, thank you. Kaz
I absolutely adore this outfit! I missed out on the whole Tinder generation as I met my partner just before everyone started using it and I’ve never, ever heard of pear before! I like the play on the name with the word ‘pair’ though!
I have heard so many horror stories about Tinder & POF. I hope that Pear proves to be better regulated.

Sounds like a great app.. I like the idea of using Science to match up pairs.
5 months? I have you beat by a mile. 😉 It can be challenging finding a good person that can handle a strong woman. Love this look. Your style is always stunning.
Wow, I am sure going to have to check out this Pear app, sounds like it is completely different from the other dating apps out there. Great post! Thanks for sharing!
I have to admit, I am so glad not to have to date anymore. I am glad I never tried a dating app or service. I would have sucked at it!
Honestly I would have never believe that you were “socially awkward” or had trouble meeting guys! You are absolutely stunning and come across so confident and outgoing. This app sounds great though, good luck with future dates and hope you find someone nice x
I think age and romance don’t necessarily go hand in hand. Also love your outfit
I am 100% in favour of using online methods and apps to help in the search for love, good luck! I think this sounds way better than tinder
You should very much like how I would be if I were single. I haven’t ever dated. I just had boyfriends pretty much and then got married.
You always look so pretty!! I love this look! I recall being set up with an online dating profile as a teen but never used it, I just seemed to get messages from creepy guys. I think love is love and age doesn’t always matter. X
This sounds so interesting. I never heard of Pear before. But, best of luck as it works to find you true love!
Good luck with dating. I am glad to hear that this new service seems to be better. Dating should be fun but it can be stressful.
Interesting! Let’s just say I’m so glad I’m married and over with that dreaded dating phase. 😉 The only dating “website” I used was tinder.
http://www.therookiewife.com
I haven’t heard of Pear before, I wish you the best of luck with it… I’m in the dating scene as well and I’m realizing how much I love being in a relationship (yes, even with its hard times!) dating is more work and you’re more vulnerable. I have my guard up too! I really just hate the games men like to play with emotionally, and that’s why I tend to gravitate towards older men too!
Take care and know you’re amazing 😉
Hmmmmmm, this sounds like an interesting way to match people. I’m also tired of all the dating apps like bumble and tinder so this might be a good alternative. I might give it a shot.
Pear seems like a one of a kind dating app that will smash all dating apps due to its algorithm. so many dating apps are just for hooking up which gets old. i’m glad these guys are making something that focuses on love 🙂
I haven’t heard of pear but I met my husband off of EHarmony, which also has an algorithm. I like them much better than the needle in a haystack Approach. Hang in there love, it only takes one!
I read somewhere that when couples getting married today were asked how they met, the overwhelming majority said “online” So amazing to me how far it’s all come. I can still remember my first boyfriend having to call me on my parent’s home phone and I had to make sure they’d truly hung up on the other extension. I have no idea what I’d have done with all of today’s apps. x
This outfit is amazing. I have to say I am glad I don’t have to date anymore. I met my husband before the apps got big and I would probably be horrible at using them.
Good to know there’s another dating app similar to Tinder. It’s absolutely hard to find a man that is a perfect match for you. Gladly I found one that doesn’t totally click with me but the understanding level is extra. Definitely recommending Pear to my friends as they’re big fans of Tinder haha!
I haven’t tried that new dating app. I got curious about your post. Love your Pretty Little Liar dress btw. Chic and fun at the same time.
I have never really notice dating apps before being married but I know my 2 eldest boys have used them before. I wish you look in searching for someone special Ana. You look great, lovely outfit 🙂
What a great read!! You always have such an honest way with writing and a unique flare. Everything you said about dating is very true. However, You look awesome in that outfit and maybe in time the app will find someone who you deserve :)x
I’ve got to say that I appreciated reading along about your escapades, despite the fact that the initial date there didn’t turn out as you would have liked. I appreciate your writing style and ability to convey your story so that you feel as if you’re right there with you. Good luck with Pear, it sounds intriguing!
First, I just have to say that your outfit is great! Second, I have never heard of this app. I wouldn’t use it since I”m married, but I would recommend it to my single friends.
Wow listening to your dating adventures is interesting! I’m so glad that dating was more simple when I was dating, although this new app sounds like it might have hope!
Ana I’m loving your fit. Black is one of my favorite colors, so I can definitely see myself wearing this. As per the Pear App, I’ve never heard of,but ive heard of Tender and and match. It seems pretty interesting so I’ll definitely be sharing this with my two besties who are working their butts off in the corporate world hahahaha. Good luck on finding love !
I haven’t also been on a date for so long. I really don’t even attempt to use dating sites but this app does sound like a good fix. Wishing you all the best.
Pear definitely sounds more interesting than Tinder. I have to say though that I’m glad I’ve never had to experience modern day dating. It sounds like a total minefield!
You are so gorgeous, smart and sexy (and I mean that in the most complimentary way) that any time you doubt yourself you need to forget that BS, because you are all that and more. Hold out. I dated a stream of LOSERS for 10 years before I met my now husband on PeopletoPeople which is now match. We have been married for 15 years this November. Not boasting or bragging or trying to make you feel bad, just want to let you know that your mate is out there. And you are exactly perfect the way you are with all of your insecurities, social awkwardness and self consciousness. You are beautiful. It just might be that your love isn’t ready for you yet.
I think technology is amazing and I love seeing how inventors improve and develop existing ideas. I think it is good that someone has put time into developing a program that helps you choose rather than just a massive database.
(hubby helping out)
I know you will find someone right for you. You are too good a person not to. I haven’t heard of Pear just yet. And I am willing to try any app at least once. I will be curious to see how the app develops and what things about it work best for people and which don’t. Thanks for the heads up about this new app Ana. If you ever come stateside in California, I will definitely have to take you to my favorite pizza joint here.
I’ve never used a dating app, I’ve been with my boyfriend for a while now. A lot my friends use Tinder and I think it’s crazy how people rely on it to find love and so many do! It is great that pear is even more accurate with matches. Also, I must add that your outfit is awesome! You are totaly rocking it!
xoxo,
Gabi
Love your honesty! I’m so glad I’m out of the dating game now. Christ on a bike! My bedheads are enough to scare anybody off first thing 😂 My hubby puts up with some shit lol. Looking fab as always matey x
Cool app! I also used tried using Tinder before. I think it’s one way of boosting your self confidence. I feel special whenever people super like my profile. 😂
I have to say I’m a bit skeptical on an algorithm finding me true love. I know many sites use some type of matching algorithm but I often wonder what they were thinking when my matches come up. That being said, I would still try this new app as I’m curious to see if it works better than the others I tried.
I really like that you can remove profiles period in this certain app. That has got to be super helpful!
I’m so glad I don’t have to date, god help me if I do, let’s hope I have found my forever man, almost 6 years next month. I have heard of some dating apps but never Pear mind you!
Girl…last paragraph of the post made me giggle so hard that my daughter sleeping beside me woke up. I can relate to it so much! I have never heard of Pears before but I am going to share it with my friends who are looking for a companion. Love your style in the photos you’ve shared. 🙂
Don’t know anything about Pear, but if it helps you find love, then brilliant. Good luck.
Dating was nearly impossible for me in my twenties and I cannot imagine how hard it would be for me now. This app sounds much better than Tinder (I have heard crazy stories about that one)! You look beautiful in these photos 🙂
i am happily married so the dating app wouldn’t be for me, but it actually sounds good and easy to use. I would like to add, you look beautiful in your outfit and don’t let anyone try to take your shine away!
“I’m so single I don’t even know what a boy is”. Bahahahaha. This is why I love you. I feel the same way, but in a more complicated way. This app though, on a serious note, looks intriguing because I haven’t even thought about how or when I am going to put myself officially back on the market yet. Thanks for the review and I will check it out!
I met my husband when we were in our teens so I think I’d be useless on a date these days! Good luck with it all
I never heard of Pear, not even in passing, which is strange, but I am glad that they came up with an alternative to the other major apps out there. Every time I hear you say about yourself, that you have self-confidence issues, I want to send you a hug. You are such a pretty woman, and obviously intelligent, I hope you will be able to see that in yourself at one point.
Blessings!
Oh dating is such a minefield isn’t it? Your experience with the text sounds awful and unecessary. Love the sound of Pear, good to hear of new products trying to shake things up a bit.
I have not gone on a date for a LONG time, but this sounds like a good app.
Ofcourse as you know I completely missed the days of online dating! I’ve heard stories though and have friends that regularly date using Tinder and POF so its great that pear is a new one on the market!! Pear sounds so different than the others and I like that it uses science to make matches!!
Darling, what the hell you have been holding out on me! it is a good thing I am seeing you tomorrow, as I am downloading pear on my phone as I type this, and signing up tomorrow and you can show me how to use it. xx
Tinder, Pear…my mummy can’t keep up. She met my daddy waaaaay before the online dating onslaught but its great there are alternatively ways these days to met a partner x Sounds interesting x
Loving the outfit, you look amazing. I have been in a relationship for almost 3 years so haven’t been dating etc for so long. It’s good that there are more apps to help out now though 🙂
I’m really intrigued by this app, it sounds really interesting and I think I’m going to have to download it. I’m like you, single as they come losing interest in Tinder and POF, and I’m also looking for that man who is happy with the wild crazed hair look
Dating can definitely be hard these days. I met my husband on POF and I definitely think I got lucky because there are plenty of crap fish out there. Pear definitely sounds like a great app!
After my divorce, I decided to can the dating scene and focus on my selfcare and my kids. I’d be curious to hear more about your escapades with Pear … it sounds interesting. As always, your outfits rock! 😉
Good luck you look fab I will tell my friends about pear I think they would enjoy it.
I do hope you find your true soul mate when it’s the right time, and meanwhile, maintain your high standards! I happened to eventually find my true love and soul mate through online dating (at LoveAccess.com) – after many sub-standard attempts to communicate and date the usual types you mentioned.
Since I’m much older than you (I think my kids are even older than you!), I should clarify that I had been married twice before. The first time only lasted a few months, and he was abusive and cheated on me; second time lasted nearly 20 years, but with a very controlling man who eventually told me out of the blue that he didn’t love me any more and actually never did! So when I went about “looking for true love” through online dating after that marriage failed, I was very disheartened to find out men my age and older (40s and up) weren’t much different than men half their age – now they were just dirty OLD men!
When Dave and I finally virtually met in December 2002, we communicated nearly every day online. While he is younger than I am (by 13 years!), we immediately connected by virtue of being able to TALK and really communicate on many levels before we ever met in person a month later. After weekend dates back and forth between our two states for several months, I finally moved to his house in 2003 – things went well, and we married in 2006 … we’re still doing well today!
All of that to say… it CAN happen for you, too, when the time and circumstances are right!
I love how witty the whole “Pear” play on words is. You look absolutely beautiful and I’m sure that you won’t be single for long.
I love this romper! It’s light and flirty but sequined! Perfect for all those dates you’re about to score on Pear. Sounds like a great app to help you find a good match.
Loving the outfit! Gorgeous. I will have to recommend the app to my single friends x x
I say enjoy the freedom! Soon you will meet someone and you will miss those days 🙂 Fab boots!!!
I love your outfit, especially the shoes! I haven’t heard of Pear before, probably because it just came out recently, but I hope it works well for you and anyone that tries it out!
I got with my partner before thelikes of tinder but for my friends who use it it only seems to attract *that kind of guy. Pear sounds interesting as an alternative!
What a fun and fabulous look! And actually…every single outfit you model has such a beautiful, unique vibe to it. Pear sounds like a great new way to meet people. Your special guy is out there waiting for you. It’s just all about timing, and your time will come – keep the faith!
This app looks interesting. I got some friends that I know will be interested. Will share this to them.
Wow I’m surprised you haven’t gone on a date in 5 months. But honestly… I think if it’s not the right time for you, there’s no need to force it. I personally don’t go on dates often as well… I once went YEARSSSS without it. I typically don’t agree unless I see potential. Good luck on finding your Mr. Right.
Pear sounds like a great app! I need to try it out.
Absolutely adore your outfit! And it’s a love & hate relationship watching watching cute couples in public… I feel you girl!
I still need to think about the apps you have talked about here. To be honest, it may be a little while before I start using them. But who knows, right?
This is super interesting and I know what you mean when it comes to being like an ice queen. I like that this app can match people up and it sounds promising. I met my husband online… not on an app but in a group for singles and it was the best thing I did.
That’s good of you to share.
Searching for love is hard. However, being awkward will not make it easier.
We can all be awkward, but instead of accepting it perhaps try to change. Not all at once, but slowly. Try to be more open to a situation and people will reciprocate. If you approach it with a negative attitude then only the creeps will find you. Your awkward body language and persona will tell “normal” people that you’re not interested.
You get back what you put in to anything and finding a partner is no exception. If you make an attempt to change for the better I promise it will work out. My partner has made sacrafices in the way they behave and I have with her. A perfect match is rare but we try because we love each other.
I hope one day you feel the same way.
Thanks,
Wow! That outfit really looks good on you. My daughter will love this. I had tried using tinder, tagged, scout before but some guys are really so pervert. I really hate this guys and just looks for sex.
