About Us

Sick and tired of the endless time wasting swiping and messaging only then to be ghosted, catfished and disappointed. How many times your date is nothing like what you expected. 10 years older and 20kg heavier, or even their personality is different.
With MeetNC you can do away with all of these disappointments. MeetNC is a dating app that isn’t really a dating app. It is app that helps you find and meet your match when you are out and about living your life. MeetNC notifies you profiles when you are in close proximity to those who you have liked and those that have liked you. Only then can you notify them or they can notify you for an invite to meet. Not endless swiping and texting only then to be ghosted, catfished or disappointed. Get out and enjoy life. Enjoy the day at the beach you might receive a MeetNC invite. Do some shopping, go out for some lunch with friends. At anytime you may get that special invite to meet. On roam you have opportunities to meet your someone at anytime. Put your app on location either at the beach or at a venue and find out if you have matches on location. MeetNC is a more organic way to meet someone new. By meeting them in person you can find out if you have the connection you have been looking for. Are you better in person than online? Have you met someone who is better online than in person? MeetNC brings us back more on how we are supposed to meet and find our person.

But why choose MeetNC? For most of human history it was our family who dictated or introduced who we were to marry. In the western world as we expanded and our world became smaller, our friends, our work environments and community organisations gave us more options and choices for partners. Still often we had our friends, colleagues, acquaintances and still our families would help find our special someone, matching and even just telling you that someone likes you. But in today’s world we have a society that is so connected digitally but in a personal way, so very disconnected. It has become more difficult to find your someone organically when we have become socially isolated and disconnected. To approach someone you do not know is actually very scary and difficult. The reason why, because in reality it is unnatural, it is a new dynamic. Mixing in a sea of humans that we do not know on a daily basis is only a modern phenomenon. To then approach someone you do not know with added fear of rejection adds to the difficulty of connecting with someone. MeetNC helps you connect. It alleviates the fear of initial rejection by the invite to meet. MeetNC is the go between now. It is now the friend that once would tell you that such and such likes you. Often when I was single I wanted to go out on the town to see what might happen. Problem is most of the time I would be winging it on my own as all of my friends are married or in a relationship. Having at least a wing man to help would have been great. MeetNC is now that wing man. The bridge and go between. No more building up the courage to overcome fears to approach someone cold turkey. MeetNC becomes the first introduction to meet someone. Meet them and straight up and feel their energy, get to know them through face to face communication. They may be that person you are looking for, or maybe they are not, at least you know.

 My name is Andrew Ferguson. I am the creator and owner of MeetNC. MeetNC creation came about through my personal experience with dating apps and the same frustrations experienced by friends and acquaintances.
Through my life, only one of my few relationships I have had, was through a dating app. Ironically it is my current partner. In saying that I feel I was very lucky as I was about to unsubscribe in the app dating scene altogether.
What are the common experiences that I experienced and heard with dating apps?
Firstly, dating apps often cause users to obsess over and waste a great deal of time and anxiety, swiping profiles, waiting for matches, the endless messages to multiple matches only to be ghosted. Or to be frustrated by those who seem not to be interested in meeting up.
Sometimes after much angst, you meet someone only to find they look nothing like their profile pictures. This is a to common story in the app dating scene. MeetNC eliminates this by requiring the first two profile pictures to be app generated. ( they look like they’re photos)
They may even look like their profile pictures, but in person, their energy, personality and intentions are completely different. You feel frustrated in the moment but also frustrated about the time and energy you have invested in this date. Another problem with dating apps is what I call the dangling of the carrot.
Most dating apps are free to subscribe. It seems too good to be true, a service for free. And usually it is too good to be true. The shared experience is that you subscribe and swipe and get yourself ready for matches and action. Only then to be disappointed by the lack of matches and action. Oh but wait, if you pay extra you will get your profile out there to more people, and you receive more profiles. You receive maybe a little better result, but still you are frustrated and disappointed by little response. Oh but wait, if you spend this money at a specific time and spend extra more on a platinum subscription you will have more matches and action. On and on it goes dangling the carrot in front of you so that you spend more money.
These stories may resonate with you, along other frustrations.
It is almost like these apps do not want you to find your person. It could be described as a good business plan. A dating app that doesn’t really want to find you a date so that you continue with their subscription. ( I may be a little cynical). How did I come up MeetNC?
It came about by my own experience along with hearing similar experiences from friends and acquaintances. The same complaints over and over. I began  brain storming on how could a dating eliminate these issues. And how could it be fundamentally different to get people out and about and to be more active in life. Also to be more active in finding their someone.
My vision for MeetNC is for you to find your person as soon as possible. To create opportunities for you to meet your person while you are out and about, creating more organic ways to meet someone. Instead of staying home, swiping, waiting for matches and endless messaging, wasting time and feeling miserable.
Get out and be active in the world,
Go places and enjoy yourself with different activities and events. If you mutually liked someone your app will notify that you are in close proximity to meet. You, or they may then invite to meet. The ability to message is then opened on the app to organise where to meet, simple as that. See and feel how this person is really like. No hiding behind a phone giving digitally edited photos and clever messaging. Be more real in engaging with real people.
MeetNC also will be more engaged with subscribers notifying venues that are in collaboration with MeetNC, to bring subscribers together with intention to meet someone.
Even MeetNC events will be created along with venue collaboration launches. There may be a dance or music festival. It may be a beautiful sunny day, let’s MeetNC at a local beach.
Seeing that there was such a great lack of understanding of subscribers needs, I decided why not do something about it. I talked to a few friends and acquaintances about the concept.
The responses were overwhelmingly positive and encouraging. So the creation of MeetNC began. App creation, finding a marketing company and contacting different venues to collaborate with. I believe this app will widen and improve everyone’s opportunity to find their special someone.
