a dating app that goes the extra mile

Great love doesn't have
a zip code.

Most apps limit your search to a radius, but more people than ever are open to where life takes them. Whatever's driving your openness, Longing was built for it. We match you with anyone whose location is compatible with yours — based on where each of you is willing to be.

How it works

Built with relationship experts, Longing starts with a real assessment — not to filter matches for you, but to understand you and who you're truly compatible with, beyond deal breakers and height preferences. Your results shape everything from your matches to your growth tools.

Built around
your openness

Match with anyone whose geography works for both of you — whether that means moving, staying, or somewhere between.

Curated matches,
no endless swiping

A larger pool means we can be more selective — and so can you. Quality over quantity, at every level.

Your partner
in the process

Tools to grow, reflect, and show up as your best self — from how you build your profile to the questions that deepen a connection.

Guides the distance,
if it comes to that

Switch the app to relationship mode when you find your person, and get tools to build a strong foundation while you're still in different places.

Who this is for

People who are ready for their great love, won't settle for less, and are willing to prioritize connection over convenience.

Staying put

Not open to relocating — but open to someone who is. You'll only ever see people whose location could genuinely work with yours.

Open to moving

Whether it's one city, a few, or anywhere — you'll be matched with people who are already there or open to the same thing.

Either way, every match you see is someone the geography could actually work with.
And your pool just got exponentially larger.

A note from the founder

I got lucky. I found the love of my life — but it took two dating apps because I accidentally ghosted him on the first due to burnout and trouble keeping track of conversations. Oops.

Thankfully my husband didn't take it personally when we matched on dating app #2. We recently celebrated our five year wedding anniversary and are kept busy by our two beautiful children. But I know how easily we could have missed each other entirely.

I spent years on dating apps feeling exhausted just opening them, wondering if my person was even on there. Watching my friends still going through the same thing, I have never been able to stop thinking that it could be better.

What if the app was actually designed to help you find your person and not keep you searching? Limiting yourself to who happens to live nearby feels like leaving the most important decision of your life to a zip code. Longing exists to change that.
