Scrush:The New Dating App

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Colgate chapter.

   

 

 

     If you thought the launch of Tinder last year was your ticket to love but were sadly let down by the harsh reality of never actually meeting up with strange creepos or awkwardly chatting with people you sorta-kinda-maybe know from Colgate, then Scrush is the app for you. “Scrush” stands for secret crush, this new app allows you to meet (like, in real life) with your actual crush, who you pressumably already sorta-kinda know due to our small campus bubble. It has the perfect combination of virtual app and reality. Similar to Tinder, you will only know if you have a match if that person has also “scrushed” you. Now, instead of seeking out strangers within a 20 mile radius (because things with “28 year-old Dennis from Oneida” probably didn’t work out last March) Scrush lets you match with other users at the same school, party or bar! Her Campus Colgate has the inside scoop, Scrush will be launching at Colgate very soon! Here is the blurb from the app creators. For more information check out scrushapp.com

 

                                                                              Scrush: verb. To secretly express interest in someone

Scrush is a brand new app for your iPhone that lets you anonymously match with your secret crush on campus.  You might be thinking that sounds a lot like Tinder, or one of the endless other dating apps.  Nope. The difference is, scrush is all about meeting your matches in real life.

Scrush has all the great potential of a convenient dating app combined with the real world interaction of, well, real life. Scrush (secret crush) connects you to potential matches who are going to the same party, class or bar that you’re already headed to tonight. Swipe right on your crushes before hitting the party, get matches when the feeling’s mutual, and save yourself the embarrassment of that cheesy pick up line you’ve been rehearsing. With scrush, you’ll break the ice, discover matches in your social circles, and easily take a virtual flirtation into the real world.

Versus Tinder, which is, let’s face it, a game.  People “play” Tinder, get matched and have fun messaging when they’re bored.  But do you really feel comfortable meeting up with these random strangers? Scrush is built around real world events.  Instead of creating random digital interactions and hoping you’ll move them offline, we’re taking real world events and the places you already go, and giving you a tool for meeting people at those events and in those places.
