Chapter 2 Dating Hits 25,000 Users
Chapter 2 Dating, a niche dating app created specifically for widows and widowers, has grown to 25,000 users since its launch. The platform operates alongside its sister app, WidowsFire, which focuses on casual intimacy rather than long-term relationships.
Founder Nicky Wake, a widow from the UK, launched the apps after struggling to find suitable dating options following the death of her husband Andy in 2020. After trying mainstream apps like Tinder, she identified a gap in the market for platforms that understand the unique challenges of dating after bereavement. Chapter 2 emphasizes serious relationships, while WidowsFire addresses physical connection and intimacy needs, often referred to as “widow’s fire.”
