A: Hey there, Yuki! Guess what I found out?
B: What is it, Ryan?

A: So, you know how we've been complaining about dating in Japan? Well, there's a new app called Cerca that might change things for us Gen Z folks.
B: Hmm, really? Tell me more!

A: Okay, so it connects people who are already in each other's social circles. That way, you don't have to worry about strangers anymore and there's less fear of rejection because likes are anonymous.
B: Oh, that sounds interesting! And how does it work exactly?

A: Well, users create a profile, sync their contacts, and only friends or friends-of-friends on the app appear as potential matches. Plus, it eliminates swiping fatigue by limiting users to four swipes per day.
B: That sounds like a more thoughtful approach. Do you think it'll work here in Japan?

A: Who knows? But they have around 60,000 users now, mostly in New York and universities. They're even participating in TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 later this month!
B: I'll keep an eye out for it then. Sounds like a promising solution to the dating scene struggles we both face.
