That proton idea actually made me laugh because dating does feel like unstable particles sometimes. I tried the regular apps for two years and learned the hard way that fake dating sites drain your energy fast. Three times I matched with someone who seemed wonderful until they started asking money before we could even plan a real date. That is when I shifted to more structured services. For example, https://ukreine.com/ works differently because profiles get verified and the whole approach focuses on serious connection rather than endless swiping. What helped me most was deciding to treat dating like a weekly habit instead of a daily obsession. One evening for messages, one for video calls, and the rest of the week for my actual life. Scammers hate patience because they need speed. A proton dating service for secure minded people would probably succeed just by slowing everything down and demanding real identity checks.

This would be a great way to make sure that the first time the average person hears about proton, it's from from the creepiest person they know.
