				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="triberr_endorsement"></div><p>If you’re single, own a smartphone, and haven’t been living under a rock of obscurity chances are you have ventured into the dating app world of swipe right or swipe left. It’s hard not to get sucked into the world of dating apps whether it is out of curiosity or the desire to find that connection. Let’s face it dating is far from easy, but alas we keep doing it in hopes of finding the one.  Whether that one we find is a forever kind of love or short fling is entirely up to us.</p>
<p>With our smartphones basically being attached to us at all times it’s no wonder why apps like Tinder and Bumble have become so popular and common among people. So how does a new app like Flirtar set itself apart and stand out? Well by making themselves the world’s first augmented reality dating app.</p>
<p>Flirtar put the fun back in using a dating app by taking some of the interactive elements that people went crazy over when Pokémon Go came out, and put it in their app to create a truly unique experience.  The app uses state-of-the-art technology and smart algorithms to locate matches for you. It will also pin point nearby matches, while determining compatibility using a simple point of your mobile device by facial recognition. The app goes one step further and maps out exciting venues for you and your match to hang out.</p>
<p>Flirtar kicked off its launch party at Skybar at The Mondrian in Los Angeles. It was definitely a night full of fun and connecting with matches. Chloe Bridges and Brandi Cyrus were also in attendance proving that everyone is just looking for that perfect match. So forget about trying to get that invite to “Celebrity Tinder,” Raya it’s officially the age of Flirtar. Go out and catch all the dates you can like you did for countless nights with Pokémon Go.</p>

So it&#8217;s no surprise that dating these days lacks that certain b<img class="  wp-image-5505 alignright" src="http://hollywoodtimessquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/image-2-298x300.png" alt="image (2)" width="271" height="273" />it of romance, or even the slightest bit of substance or connection past generations once had. Despite our many advancements, dating is still an enigma that most people have yet to figure the magic recipe to. Especially nowadays, with more people shying away from commitment and just looking for no strings attached fun. Between the lack of commitment, and people straight up ghosting each other after seemingly perfect dates the question becomes how does a person find love or at the very least, a decent date in the 21st century? Well in the age of the cell phones one thing is clear dating apps are here to stay, which means there needs to be more to them than just swiping right or left if we want dating to go past just the hookup. Fortunately, for those of still holding out on finding a significant other BlindLove, a new app set to launch September 1st is shaking up the way people find connections on dating apps.</p>
<p>Like the name BlindLove is flipping the script, and actually having people get to know their matches before revealing what they actually look like. By putting a bit of mystery back into the dating app BlindLove is connecting people based on similar interests, personality traits and bringing them together with other like-minded singles based on compatibility. Although these concepts are nothing new we&#8217;ve somehow forgotten how important they when actually looking for a meaningful and dare I say it lasting relationship.</p>
<p><a href="http://hollywoodtimessquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/image-1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5504 alignleft" src="http://hollywoodtimessquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/image-1-300x280.png" alt="image (1)" width="300" height="280" /></a>The app is designed to give users a profile that is fun, yet easy to read with a short about me section, various interests tags, and up to five entertaining questions that reveal a bit about the individual and leave people wanting to know more. BlindLove&#8217;s in-app features also include voice messages, the option to ask for date suggestions, or to ask someone on a date, view users who visited their profile and of course privacy settings ensuring everyone’s information stays confidential. If you ask me dating using a dating app is about to get a little more interesting come this September.</p>
