Does the Thursday Dating App Work in the USA?

Yes. Thursday has run in American cities. Reporting on the company has named Austin, Chicago, Miami, New York and San Francisco. It is the dating app you can only use on Thursdays, and the company also runs singles events through a separate app. Whether it works for you comes down to one thing you can check in a few minutes: whether your own city is on its list.

TechCrunch reported that Thursday launched in several markets, and the United States was one of them. Its American cities included Austin, Chicago, Miami and New York. TechCrunch later reported the app expanding to San Francisco, which puts that city on the list too.

Cities get added, and a list written some time ago may be out of date by the time you read it. Treat any list, this one included, as a place to start. The reliable check is the app itself and the company's own website.

Open Thursday and see whether it lets you in for your area. Then look at the company's website, which leans on events and shows where it holds them.

The two can differ. The dating side may be offered in one city while the events run in another, so check both before you decide the answer for your city is no.

The app limits when you can use it. TechCrunch described it as a dating app you can only use on Thursdays, and at midnight all your matches disappear. The reasoning behind it is simple. A one-day window pushes people to arrange a real meeting soon, instead of collecting matches and trading messages for weeks.

Separately, the company runs in-person singles events through an app called Thursday Events. Its website mostly promotes those events, so a man who arrives expecting only a swipe app may find the events are the bigger part of what it sells.

A match that disappears at midnight punishes the slow. The men who do well on it send a specific first line the same hour, ask for a plan within a few messages, and name a place before the day runs out.

That is the habit that works on every dating app. a dating coach's own conversations reach a phone number within a handful of messages. A woman who is enjoying a chat on Tuesday is a cooler one by the following week. Thursday just puts a deadline on the habit.

If you are the type who lets a good conversation sit for a few days, this app will cost you your matches. If you are the type who suggests coffee on the second day, it will suit you.

Treat a missing city as unknown until you have checked. Still, notice that every city named in the reporting is a large one. If you live somewhere smaller, you may find it is not offered.

The events app is worth a separate look, since it is a different product from the Thursday-only dating app. It may reach a city before the dating side does, or the other way round. Check it on its own instead of assuming one tells you about the other.

That does not leave you stuck. Use a swipe app for matching, and watch the company's events in case they reach you later. A man in a smaller town gets more from one steady plan than from waiting on a particular app.

Decide in advance what you will say and what you will propose. Pick one or two places near you that are easy to meet at, and keep your weekday and evening free for the first date.

Write your first lines around something specific on each woman's page, not a greeting she has read ten times that day. My rule of thumb is shorter is better, and a comment on something she wrote reads as more genuine than a comment on her looks.

Then count what happens. My one lesson he repeats is to test, tweak and test again. Note how many matches you got, how many replied and how many agreed to meet. If the numbers are thin after a few Thursdays, the app is rarely the problem. The usual fix is in your photos and your first message, and both are worth looking at before you decide Thursday does not work.
