Ghosting isn’t just common—it’s expected. One day you’re texting someone, the next they’re gone. No explanation. No closure. And for most dating app users, it’s happened more than once.
Ghosting feels personal, but it’s often a symptom of the platform. When you can swipe endlessly, people stop seeing each other as real. Attention spans get shorter. Conversations stay shallow.
According to a 2025 report by Psychology Today, 82% of online daters say ghosting has made them more cynical about love. It doesn’t just hurt—it changes how we trust.
A 2024 study by the American Psychological Association found that ghosting can trigger feelings of anxiety, confusion, and rejection, especially when someone was emotionally invested.
Maroon is designed to make ghosting rare—not normal.
You won’t see hundreds of faces a day. You’ll see a handful of profiles worth paying attention to. That means fewer matches—but each one feels more real.
According to Harvard Business Review, slowing down the dating process improves emotional connection and long-term compatibility.
We ask questions that actually matter. So when you match, you already know something about the person. You’ve got something to talk about besides small talk.
Research from Stanford Digital Love Lab shows that authentic profile prompts and deeper questions increase match quality and lead to more lasting conversations.
No one likes starting from scratch. Maroon pulls in details from profiles to help you start and continue the conversation. It’s easier to stay engaged when the convo feels personal.
Knowing there’s a chance you’ll meet someone at a local Maroon event changes how you interact. It adds accountability—and a touch of real-world connection that most apps lack.
In a 2024 Eventbrite survey, 67% of users said in-person dating events helped them feel more comfortable, connected, and open to meaningful conversations.
Ghosting shouldn’t be normal. Dating shouldn’t feel disposable. At Maroon, we’re building something better. If you’re tired of disappearing acts and want something real, we’d love to have you.
Can any app really prevent ghosting?
No app can stop it entirely, but Maroon is built to reduce the common causes—like mindless swiping and lack of real connection.
Do Maroon users still ghost?
It happens less often. Our members are more intentional, and the structure of the app discourages it.
What if I get ghosted anyway?
We encourage users to close out conversations with honesty. And our app allows you to report repeat offenders.
Why limit how many profiles I see?
It helps you slow down and connect more deeply. More isn’t always better.
What’s different about Maroon events?
They’re casual, curated, and full of people you actually want to meet. It’s a safer, more intentional space to connect in person.
