Ep. 59 - Skip the Swipes: Dating by Doing with Plus 1 Founder Jeff Wulkan

Are dating apps making connection harder instead of easier?
In this episode of Dateless in Delray, Susan Shoer talks with Jeff Wulkan, founder of Plus 1, a platform designed to help people meet through shared experiences rather than endless swiping. Instead of matching profiles, Plus 1 encourages users to post plans—dinner, a concert, a workout, or an event—and choose someone to join them.
Jeff shares what inspired him to rethink the dating app model, the biggest frustrations singles face today, and why real-world interaction may be making a comeback. They also discuss dating burnout, ghosting culture, and how shifting the focus from profiles to experiences might create more meaningful connections.
If you’re tired of swiping and ready to rethink how people meet, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on the future of dating.
