Only The One
Matchmaking for serious relationships
A free, non-profit platform created to help you find true love, not keep you searching.
Tired of toxic dating apps? So are we
Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Happn, Match.com...
We've tried them all, only to realize their goal isn’t to help you find love - it’s to keep you paying every month.
Bots, scammers, and influencers seeking followers are widespread.
Women get overwhelmed with irrelevant profiles, while men struggle to get matches.
We’re different.
Find your soulmate
Advanced search
Define 60+ criteria on personality, lifestyle, values, spirituality, looks and more to connect you with truly compatible matches.
The right fit
A match means that both fit each other's preferences at least 75%. Your profile is shown only to people you actually fit with.
Curated matches
No bots, no scams, no fake profiles. Only The One is for real people looking for a long term relationship, period.
Take it slow
Skip the serial daters by chatting with just one match at a time. Exclusive one-on-one conversations let you focus on building real connections.
Healthy
We notify you when you have a new match. No false hope, no time wasted, no toxicity. Your mental health is precious.
Privacy first
We value your privacy. Your match sees only your first name and photo, and we never share data with third parties.
“True love is the only thing that gives life real meaning”
Nicholas Sparks
At Only The One, our purpose is simple: to help people find true, lasting love. We are not here to sell your data, make money through ads or keep you searching endlessly. Unlike most dating apps, our platform is entirely free and non-profit, created with one genuine goal: to connect people who are truly compatible and ready for a serious relationship.
Love should never be treated as a business. It should be shared, celebrated, and made accessible to everyone.
How it works
Setup
Create your profile in 5 minutes and define your preferences honestly and clearly. The more you share, the better your matches. Nothing will be visible from them.
Daily Matches
Each day, we’ll notify you of a potential match - someone who meets at least 75% of your criteria (and vice versa). No endless swiping: just 24 hours to accept or decline, with a new match suggested the next day.
Chat
When there’s a mutual match, our AI-powered coach helps you break the ice and keep the conversation flowing in a respectful and meaningful way, so you can focus on building a real connection.
FAQ
Yes, we know. You're too picky, but our community is still small. So please spread the word, invite your friends, and tell them to do the same. They might bring The One for you.
Our mission is to help you find love, not to encourage addictive behavior.
We value your time - so in Only The One, there’s no swiping.
Everything is accessible from the start, with no paywalls:
- All criteria are available to everyone.
- No "boosts" or "spotlights" - you're always visible.
- No "super crush" or "super likes" - every match is genuine.
Yes, 100%. There is no locked criteria, no time limit, no subscription. No paywall, no boost, no super like , no spotlight.
Traditional dating apps rely on monthly subscriptions to retain users and increase profit, rather than helping them find their perfect match.
Our mission is different - we want you to find love as soon as possible, not stay stuck in an endless search.
We don’t. This project has always been driven by volunteers, no one has ever been paid. Our aim isn’t to make money, but to create love stories. That’s the real reward.
We created Only The One to help you find someone who truly matches your criterias, no matter your country, culture, or values.
You can focus your search on specific cities or countries - or keep it open to the whole world.
Because love knows no borders.
Your safety is our top priority. If someone behaves inappropriately - whether in the app or in real life - please report them.
We will investigate right away. Three reports lead to a permanent ban.
We take privacy very seriously.
First, only your photo is visible from your matches - yes, only one photo.
Second, your data is only used by our matchmaking algorithm. We don't sell it. We don't share it. And everything is protected by GDPR.
Our mission is to help you find love, nothing else.
We're a small team of individuals who have felt the frustration of traditional dating apps - but still believe in true love. Psychologists, dating coaches, tech and altruist people.
Our mission is to create a safe, effective platform for those seeking real, meaningful connections.
Completely independent, we have no ties to Match Group or any corporation and have never received external funding.
