In a world where meeting someone online is the new norm, the demand for more niche dating sites has only risen since the first online dating forum, Match.com, was created in 1995. Now there is everything from sites based on algorithms analyzing a person's character traits to selecting a date solely based on their musical tastes. An unlikely new player has joined the online dating game - MeetMindful- for those who are looking for dating, friendship, long term potentials and relationships that are spiritually enlightened and accepting of one another's feelings while living in the present.
While those who identify with this New Age package are perhaps those who would shy away from dating sites in general, MeetMindful is actually pretty inviting in its own way. Signing on, potential users are instantly asked to choose two of several tabs that may be of interest: from personal growth and buying local to meditation and travel. Users are also asked a handful of intimate questions that defy your typical profile fodder; questions specifically designed for truth, that prompt users to dig deeper. Ranging from "Imperfections I am working on changing" to "What is your mantra?" and "How do your friends describe you?" the questions open up potential discussions between strangers to new heights, thus creating a feeling of familiarity, honesty and authenticity - which is often missing most from ubiquitous matchmaking sites.
And if vegans, workaholics, or cat haters aren’t your thing, it's okay to put that out there right away, too - but MeetMindful is not scared to ask you why those are deal breakers. It looks like meeting like-minded individuals may not be so challenging after all.
