Single No More with Break The Ice App

I don’t believe in finding true love in clubs, when you’re probably too intoxicated to make out how the other party looks under dim lights. There are exceptions, of course. But I would think most people would want lifelong partners whom they can trust, and who have been vetted and approved by friends. And the Facebook-based Go Break The Ice app is working towards that goal.

The Singapore-based dating application helps you find your ideal partner through friends and the influence of your social networks. Singles are able to find love through Facebook connections and recommendations by friends, lowering the risk of encountering people with hyperpersonal or fake profiles, a problem prevalent in many online dating sites.

Alexander Wallestam, CEO and founder of Go Break The Ice, tells us that it aims to transform a regular social network into a place to find love.

I gave the Facebook app a shot, where I was asked to fill in my requirements on it (pictures below), along with my interests, and the city that I’m based. And then comes the top recommendation by the app:

Should you find the other party interesting, you can hit the “Go Break The Ice” button and start chatting. You can also become a matchmaker on this app, recommending friends whom you think are good candidates.

So if you’re either single or interested to become a matchmaker, you might want to give this app a try. And if you manage to hook up with someone and get married down the road, don’t forget to write in to tell us that the app works.
