REDDI is a groundbreaking matchmaking app that sets itself apart by utilising attachment style theory. Developed by the acclaimed mental health clinician and performance coach, Stacy Thomson, 44, from St Albans, REDDI is positioned as a serious and no-nonsense platform catering to individuals seeking meaningful connections beyond the casual encounters prevalent on other dating apps.

Stacy Thomson said: “Since we launched REDDI last year it’s evolved into a platform and community, focussed on matchmaking with an emphasis on quality over quantity. As a mental health clinician I’m acutely aware of the impact of the addiction driven dopamine design of most dating apps.

“We’re the antitheses of AI, matchmaking through a personality and psychology approach with a human touch which results in quality opportunities and deeper connections for our members”.

This psychological framework – attachment style, originating from the 1950s, categorises individuals into three main attachment styles: secure, anxious and avoidant. REDDI’s innovative approach not only enhances the dating experience but also fosters a deeper understanding between potential partners.

The Landscape of Modern Dating

In 2022, there were over 366 million online dating service users. By 2027, it is estimated that there will be 440 million people seeking love through online platforms. However, the overwhelming abundance of choices often leads to frustration and burnout, resulting in less fulfilling dating experiences.  

Stacy Thomson said “ I understand the challenges singles face and the need for a strategic approach to navigating the online dating landscape. What we do is dating done differently as we’re focussed on matchmaking and the psychology of matching people, on a local and global scale.

The Dating App Dilemma: Common Pitfalls and Solutions

Before delving into the unique features of REDDI, let’s address six common mistakes many individuals make on dating apps, along with tips to overcome them. The abundance of options has led to an overwhelming and often unsatisfying journey for many single men and women. REDDI steps into this dynamic scene with a focus on quality over quantity. 

Online Dating Tips: Navigating the REDDI Way by Stacy Thomson

1. Focus on One or Two Dating Apps

The misconception that more dating apps equate to higher odds is dispelled. Instead, REDDI, with its unique approach rooted in attachment theory, provides a refreshing alternative for those seeking a more tailored dating experience.

2. Reject the Numbers Game Mentality

Contrary to the belief that more dates increase the likelihood of finding a relationship, adopt a “for the few, not the many” mindset. REDDI’s commitment to quality over quantity aligns perfectly with this approach, offering users a more curated selection of potential matches.

3. Limit Swiping and Messaging Time

Acknowledging the addictive nature of constant swiping, REDDI’s emphasis on intentional connections and meaningful conversations aligns with the recommendation to use the app for a set period daily, ensuring a more focused and empowered dating experience.

4. Engage in Purposeful Conversations

REDDI’s foundation in attachment theory ensures that conversations on the platform are more likely to lead to deep, soulful connections. Meaningful conversations are the way forward, and at the back of your mind should be leading with positive intent.

5. Set a Messaging Cut-off Point

Messaging endlessly without progressing towards a date is a common pitfall. Stacy Thomson suggests setting a cutoff point to either ask someone out or gracefully exit the conversation. REDDI’s commitment to helping users find genuine connections aligns with this strategy, ensuring that interactions on the app lead to real-world connections.

6. Treat Dating Apps as an Opportunity, Not the Sole Solution

REDDI’s innovative approach aligns with this perspective, offering users an opportunity to not just find love online but also develop the skills and confidence to navigate in-person interactions.

7. Determine Dopamine Drivers

It’s easy to get a hit from a dating app, notice when you’re triggered and be mindful of when you’re on apps. We spend an inordinate amount of time on our phones, so try and spend quality, focussed time on dating apps.

Attachment Style and REDDI: A Match Made in Heaven

Attachment style, the foundation of REDDI’s matchmaking algorithm and human touch, explores the emotional bonds formed in childhood and their impact on adult relationships. REDDI categorises users into secure, anxious and  avoidant attachment styles, offering a more nuanced approach to matchmaking.

The Three Styles of Attachment:

• Secure Attachment: Individuals comfortable with intimacy, independence, and clear boundaries.
• Anxious Attachment: Individuals seeking constant reassurance, often struggling with trust and independence.
• Avoidant Attachment: Independent individuals uncomfortable with intimacy, often fearing commitment.

REDDI’s Vetting Process and Exclusivity

REDDI has already gained prominence for its exclusive, members-only community. The app boasts a stringent vetting process, minimising the risk of catfishing and ensuring a genuine user base.

By integrating attachment style  into its matchmaking process, REDDI not only simplifies the complexity of human relationships but also provides a platform for individuals to connect authentically.

This means you have a sustainable, successful matchmaking service in the palm of your hand and our commitment to fostering understanding between users based on their attachment styles sets the stage for a new era in online dating.
