There is a newcomer in the vast scene of personal relationship Apps: Check&Love. We talked about this with the author.
To enhance true relationships between real people who see each other because they already know each other, or who must meet to truly get to know each other, as I like to say, in open social spaces.
Absolutely not! The inspiration is the opposite: no imaginary relationships between strangers, no fake profiles, but only authentic relationships with real people!
Exactly. Check&Love is a tool that allows you to interact with your friends and with all the people you meet and know. It gives you the possibility to put a Check on those you like, without revealing yourself, waiting to receive another Check and then go in Love.
The cell phone is the tool with which we do everything. Just observe friends when they are together: they talk, laugh, argue, eat, train in the gym, watch a movie, and always have a cell phone in their hands. It’s a continuous ringing, an orchestra of sounds, and, what’s saddest, smiles and solitary emotions—face to face with a screen instead of looking into the eyes of the person in front of you. With Check&Love, it’s true that people will still interact with their cell phones, but at least to build real relationships with real people who first get to know each other and then like each other!
Yes. But it is important to emphasize that Check&Love is only a tool for participation and sharing, and how you use it depends entirely on you, as I wrote in the Ethical Code. And the idea of writing it comes precisely from this awareness: I designed and created a social network with its own philosophy and rules that require you to play, as I said, in open social spaces. But despite this, you can look for the love of your life, or simply all the people you like a little; it’s entirely up to you.
Building relationships among people that know each other, avoiding facilitating casual encounters among unknown people. In short, More than friends with your contacts in the phone's address book and with those you truly meet in everyday places, but always letting them know who you are. And if we wanted to sum up the innovation of Check&Love in a slogan that also defines its credibility and reputation, I would say: Real people, not fake profiles!
