Unfortunately, traditional dating apps aren’t necessarily built to grow and sustain trust between would-be couples. Most of their business model is to keep you on the platform. If their users find true love, they’re no longer users—that’s bad for business. Apps like those are built to satisfy your physical needs and give your brain a hit of serotonin every time you swipe or get a match.
Here’s where Ben and Lakeyia saw an opportunity. As an Industrial Specialized Professional (someone that looks at business models and identifies issues, and develops creative solutions), and a BSC holder in Business Management—the newlyweds began to deconstruct the traditional dating app model. Using their own lived and shared experiences as a guide, and with enough experience with traditional dating apps to know what does and doesn’t work, Ben and Lakeyia created DateGoal.
There was an unspoken pandemic running rampant within the pandemic. It’s something that many of us faced, but very few of us spoke about. This unseen plague was infidelity, broken homes, and strained relationships. It was during this unsettled and uncertain time that Ben Osagie met his future wife, Lakeyia.
During this time, trust was at an all-time low in the dating scene. Apps like Tinder and Bumble were the only outlet for many single people seeking love. Bars and restaurants were either closed or take out only—it became impossible to meet someone.
It was through this learning experience, through the difficulties of finding and holding onto true love during the pandemic, that they decided to create DateGoal. A place where everyone can find the kind of love that Ben and Lakeyia found.
Both Ben and Lakeyia had troubled, difficult pasts and were saddled with the scars of the traumas that came with them. However, despite the personal hurdles they faced, through deep conversation, they found a way to discuss the efforts that were needed to allow the relationship to blossom.
They decided that together, they’d be each other’s healing ground. They practiced self-therapy as a way to talk through some of the challenges they faced in their personal, and romantic lives. They created a safe space where they could acknowledge, work through, and ultimately move forward from the traumas of the past. It was this level of spiritual, and personal intimacy that allowed Ben and Lakeyia to become not only partners but best friends. After 10 months of dating, they got married—and have vowed to love and cherish one another for all time.
