HOW IT WORKS
New users sign up on the sign up page by inserting their unique username, their real names and a password.
Users log in with their username and their password.
Once signed or logged in, the user is asked to input their user info, including: Age Bio Gender Preference Interests Picture
Users are matched by shared interests.
Users have the option of accepting, rejecting or leaving their matches pending.
When a match is accepted by both users, 3rd-Wheel suggests the top 5 locations for their date based on their shared interests and the locations rating.
Rejected matches will not be suggested again.
