FAQ
Is this a dating app or a healing app?
This is a dating app but we believe that dating is a process. We help you with the past so you can build real connection again — no swiping while you’re still hurting.
What is the ERS?
The Emotional Readiness Score is your private rating (out of 100) that tracks how emotionally prepared you are to date again. Based on your reflections, behaviors, and coaching feedback.
Can I match with someone right away?
If you’re ready, then sure. If not then... we have some work to do. You’ll start with healing, pacing, and support. Smart Match unlocks only when you pass the readiness threshold.
Is this therapy?
No. Paceful is a dating tool. Not a therapist. But it’s designed to support your healing process and help you find the right person (or people!) to date.
