Finally: A dating app with marriage in mind.
Timeline Dating exists to solve multiple painful problems in modern dating:
Whether you've been burned before or you're simply tired of the games, whether you've dated for years or you're just starting your search for something real, you deserve better. You deserve to know if someone wants the same future you do before investing your time and heart.
That's why Timeline Dating shows you their marriage timeline, family goals, and relationship milestones before you even match. No more guessing. No more "eventually." Clarity from day one.
My motivation for building Timeline Dating is both personal and research-backed. I know what it's like to realize later in life that marriage and family matter deeply to you, whether that's a new clarity or something you've wanted all along. I met my husband at 31, married a few years later, and we have a baby on the way. It can work out, even when it feels late.
I also know people who've been ready for years but couldn't find anyone equally serious. People who never wanted to waste time on "maybe" relationships but kept running into the same ambiguity on every dating app. People who watched their friends make compromises or settle, and thought, "There has to be a better way."
The heartbreak isn't just about lost time, it's about never finding the right starting point. It's about being ready for forever and not being able to find others who feel the same way.
Research confirms what we intuitively know: couples who discuss relationship goals and timelines early report higher satisfaction, stronger commitment, and faster progress toward serious partnerships. Early clarity reduces ambiguity and builds trust—and it works whether you're starting fresh or starting over.
Timeline Dating is for those who are:
Whether you've never found someone serious enough to build with, or you've wasted years on people who weren't ready, Timeline Dating is for you. This is for anyone who wants to start with clarity, not hope and guesswork.
Timeline Dating is simple:
We reject the culture of ambiguity, contrived "pacing," and mixed signals. On Timeline Dating, you know exactly what someone wants before you invest a single conversation. No more decoding texts or wondering where things are going.
Your time is the most valuable thing you have. We refuse to let you waste it on people who aren't ready or don't want what you want. Every match is a real opportunity, not a maybe.
Success on Timeline Dating starts with knowing yourself. This value is inspired by the Latin maxim nosce te ipsum, know thyself, a reminder that clarity about who you are comes before finding who you're meant to be with. We encourage deep introspection about what you truly want, not what you think you should want, or what worked for someone else. The clearer you are about your own values and non-negotiables, the better matches you'll attract. Advocating for your true desires isn't selfish; it's the foundation of a healthy, lasting relationship.
We believe that knowing what you want, and being willing to say it out loud, is a strength, not a flaw. Timeline Dating empowers you to own your timeline without apology. Whether you want to be engaged in a year or take three years to build a foundation, your path is valid. The key is being honest with yourself first, then finding someone who honors and shares that path.
We're not building what's trendy. We're building what works. Our approach is grounded in relationship science that shows early transparency leads to stronger, more satisfying partnerships.
