Our story
From a dorm-room idea to a dating revolution.
“People keep dating the same person with a different face.”
So we decided to flip the script entirely.
The name
notmyex.com registered
A sprint back to the dorm room, fingers flying across the keyboard. The domain was secured, and the journey began.
The problem
Why dating apps fail
Mainstream apps keep finding you with the same type. The cycle repeats. The heartbreak continues. Something had to change.
The solution
Flip the script
Instead of finding what you think you want, find the opposite of what you know you don't want.
The revolution
NOT MY EX is born
A dating experience that's intentional, fun, and uniquely personal. Because sometimes you don't know what you want, but you know what you don't want.
What we're building instead.
