Stumblecrush

Have you ever met someone you really liked or immediately had a spark with but neither of you did anything to connect? Had a secret crush, but you never made your move? For whatever reason, whether too busy, too shy, or the fear of rejection got the better of you, and regretfully now, the moment is forever lost.

Missed connections and failure to follow through on everyday social encounters far too often lead to the loss of new potential love connections and other important social relationships. Many people are too shy or hesitant to approach those they come across in their everyday lives, even if they believe they could have a good connection with them. Although social networking apps are designed to foster connections, most focus primarily on strengthening relationships with people we already know. Furthermore, when it comes to dating apps, the majority require users to waste significant amounts of time filtering through profiles and starting a multitude of unavailing conversations that rarely end in a real-life date or encounter. Often, when people finally do meet in person, it is rare that their profile picture is a true reflection of them, which can be misleading. Whether it is due to Photoshop, an outdated photo, or a different haircut, the results are the same – people end up disappointed or feeling misled. Overall, when people meet by happenstance, where clearly there is a real mutual attraction between them, there tends to be a failure to make plans to meet again. Typically, neither party exchanges contact information or pursues the connection, leading to the loss of valuable connections and potential relationships.
