SinglesAroundMe (S.A.M.)

At SinglesAroundMe (S.A.M.), our focus has always been on building a great local dating app that helps you discover and connect with singles nearby.

Since our initial launch in 2010 as the world’s first location-based GPS dating app, we’ve continuously evolved the platform and connected millions of local singles around the globe—bringing people together through real-world proximity, chance encounters, and shared moments.

A Major Next-Generation Update

We’ve just released a major upgrade to SinglesAroundMe, completely rebuilding the app and introducing new social features that make dating feel more natural, lively, and real.

You can now:
• Follow other users
• Post updates to a shared social feed
• Like and comment on posts
• Engage organically with people who interest you

These features are inspired by familiar social platforms like Instagram—while still keeping SinglesAroundMe true to its roots as a dating and meet-up app for singles.

A Personal Note from the Founder

My name is Chris Klotz, and I created SinglesAroundMe for people like you.

I met my wife by chance while skiing with the University of Cambridge ski team in the French Alps. That experience taught me how powerful serendipity can be—and how unexpected encounters can lead to great happiness, love, and even lifelong partnerships.

Dating always involves a bit of luck. My hope is that SinglesAroundMe helps create those moments of chance by connecting you with like-minded singles who are genuinely nearby.
