Trust is a weird thing to expect from a dating app. Most platforms promise it, but the experience often tells a different story. Fake profiles, ghosting, harassment, and the endless cycle of superficial swiping have left a lot of people wondering if online dating can actually deliver on something as basic as feeling safe.
HundRoses, a dating platform currently in development, is trying to make trust more than just a marketing buzzword. The company’s approach is straightforward. If you want to send messages, you need a verified profile. If you’d rather browse without engaging, verification isn’t required. It’s a system that acknowledges people have different comfort levels and different reasons for being there.
The platform is targeting singles across Canada and the United States, positioning itself as an option for people tired of the usual dating app frustrations. Early access is open now, with VIP memberships available for those who want priority when the official launch happens. The details on what VIP perks include haven’t been fully outlined yet, but early adopters get first access to local matches.
What sets HundRoses apart is the emphasis on respect. That means verified communication for anyone who wants to send messages. It’s a concrete step toward creating accountability. The idea is simple. If someone has to verify their identity to talk to you, there’s less room for the kind of behavior that makes dating apps exhausting.
The company describes its mission as creating genuine matches and real connections through advanced matching algorithms designed for North American users. The platform is being built specifically with Canadian and American singles in mind, focusing on what those users need from their dating experience.
There’s a chicken-and-egg problem every new dating app faces. You need users to attract users. Nobody wants to sign up for a platform with only a handful of people in their city. HundRoses will have to build that critical mass while competing against apps that have been around for years and already have millions of active members.
The frustration with current options is real. A lot of people feel like online dating has become more about the app experience than actual dating. Endless swiping, conversations that go nowhere, profiles that don’t match the person who shows up. HundRoses is tapping into that frustration by offering something that feels more grounded.
The platform is still being developed, so there’s no firm launch date. Interested singles can sign up for early access through the company’s website, or follow updates on Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn.
What’s needed isn’t another dating app with better algorithms or flashier features. It’s a platform where people feel like they can show up as themselves without the games. HundRoses is building on the idea that respect and trust aren’t extras in online dating, they’re the foundation. That shift in priorities could change how people think about meeting someone online.
