Designed for Deeper Connection
Profiles That Tell Your Story
Move beyond a list of stats. Our profiles are designed with rich prompts and photo layouts that encourage you to share who you really are—your humor, your ambitions, and what you’re passionate about.
Better Conversation Starters
Say goodbye to awkward intros. On OtterHalf, you start a conversation by commenting directly on a specific photo or prompt answer that caught your eye. It’s a more natural way to show your interest and find common ground from the very first message.
Your Privacy, Protected
Your comfort is our priority. Easily block your phone or email contacts to ensure you won't see them, and they won't see you. Now you can explore connections with complete peace of mind.
A Matchmaking Model Focused on You
Our unique model learns your preferences and priorities to introduce you to the people you’re most likely to have a real connection with. We focus on long-term compatibility, not just fleeting popularity.
Cultural Filters That Understand Nuance
We know that true compatibility goes deep. Our unique cultural filters help you find people who share your values, background, and specific life goals—the nuances that make a relationship work.
Likes with Intention
To encourage thoughtful connections, your likes are limited. This keeps you focused on the profiles that truly resonate, making each match more meaningful.
Know Who’s Interested
No more guessing games. We provide a clear, single view of who has liked your profile, so you can focus your energy on connections that are mutual and promising from the start.
Chat That Flows Naturally
Keep the conversation going with a seamless chat experience. Featuring GIFs, reactions, and the ability to delete individual messages, our chat is designed to feel comfortable, modern, and safe.
Show You're Serious with a Flower
Really interested in someone? Send a Flower to let them know they’ve caught your eye. Your profile will be shown to them first, highlighting your genuine interest.
Built on Trust
We believe in a straightforward experience. From seeing who likes you to our clear subscription model, our promise is to always be upfront. Your focus should be on connection, not on navigating hidden costs or confusing rules.
Make Your First Move Count
We've replaced the mindless swipe with a more thoughtful way to connect. On OtterHalf, you show interest by engaging directly with someone's profile. Find a specific photo or prompt answer that resonates with you, and send a like with a comment to start a conversation that's personal from the very first word.

See Exactly Who's Interested
Dating should be exciting, not a mystery. We bring everyone who has liked you into a dedicated space for you to review, one by one. This allows you to give each potential match your focused attention, see their opening line, and decide if the connection is right before you ever have to match.
