Editor's letter
Done with the apps?
So are we. There is nothing to swipe here, no inbox filling up, and no stranger browsing your photos tonight. LOVECOL is a private introduction service for women, and it is built around one rule: your yes comes first.
Every gentleman is verified before you ever see his name: identity, background, intent. When there is someone worth meeting, we tell you about him first. Nothing about you is shared until you say yes.
One introduction at a time, chosen by people who have met him. The rest of this issue is how it works.
The Editors
Act IApply.
Tell us who you are, and what you will not settle for. A person reads every word.
Two minutes to apply. Nothing public, ever.
Act IIVetted.
Every gentleman is verified before you ever see his name: identity, background, intent. If something does not add up, he is not introduced.
We meet him before you do.
Act IIIIntroduced.
When there is someone worth meeting, you hear about him first. Nothing about you is shared until you say yes.
Your yes, first. Always.
Chosen, not swiped.
We look at everyone. We introduce you to one. Every introduction is chosen by a person who has met you both.
Where to go.
The first date is arranged for you: booked, considered, and quietly handled. You only have to show up.
- 01
The chef's counter
Eight seats, one menu, and nobody waiting on a table. Conversation is the only course you choose.
- 02
After hours
A salon or a gallery, closed to everyone but the two of you, with a drink poured before you arrive.
- 03
On the water
A terrace above the harbour at the hour the light goes gold. No reason to check your phone.
- 04
The screening
A private room, a film you both pretend to have seen, and a long walk after.
- 05
The weekend
When it is going well: somewhere far, already arranged, the car outside at nine.

Apply
The Questionnaire.
Seven questions, in the tradition of the magazine back page. Answer honestly; a person reads every one.
Small print.
- Who reads my application?
- A person. Every application is read, and every gentleman is verified before any introduction.
- How are the gentlemen verified?
- Identity first, then a conversation. We confirm he is who he says he is, and that he is here for the right reasons.
- Will he see my profile first?
- No. Nothing about you is shared until you say yes to the introduction.
- What does it cost?
- Membership fees are discussed privately, once your application is accepted.
- Can I pause?
- Yes. Pause any time, for as long as you need.
