and destined to become core memories

How to Fourplay

  • Young single woman smiling and flashing a peace sign at a party or nightclub, with a vibrant, colorful background.

  • A digital interface showing a dating app with profile of Rachel, who wants to team up. There is a prompt about being stranded on an island, a button to add a new team, and a message to team up with friends.

  • A social media dating app screen showing match profiles of Jon and Andrew, both 29 from New York, NY, with photos of friends laughing and enjoying social moments, and a message saying "like your team" and "Match with other pairs of friends."

  • Group chat on a smartphone screen with messages about a pickleball game and social plans, labeled 'Group chat and make a plan' at the bottom.

A letter from the
Fourplay founders

Hi Single Friends,

We’re Danielle and Julie, cofounders of Fourplay Social, healthcare providers (Danielle is a nurse practitioner and Julie is a physician associate), best friends from college (WE ARE Penn State), and yes, single. If that ever changes, someone please remind us to update this.

So, just know: WE GET IT.

We’re part of the ~80% of singles burnt out from dating apps. We know why they suck. The letdown when URL chemistry doesn’t translate IRL. The pressure. The ghosting. The safety concerns. The awkward moment when the check comes (flavorless, sugar-free icing on the dating app monotony cake). We’ve been through it all.


We built Fourplay because we believe singles deserve better. Better than superficial swipes. Better than, “prob won’t respond here, dm me @publichandlewithacheck.” Better than people who are “overly competitive about everything.” Better than the same stale experience, over and over again.

Single life should feel spontaneous, social, fulfilling, and safe. It should be full of unexpected plans, connections you didn’t see coming, and core memories with your favorite people. And if you happen to find love along the way, great. If you don’t, you’re still living your most authentic, dynamic life, and spending it with someone who always has your back. What’s better than that?

We’re not here to make you promises we can’t keep or to sell you on what your relationship status should be. We’re here because social connection is a fundamental human need, and we don’t ever want you to feel alone. Because you’re not.

Btw we’re also Fourplay users (let’s match?) so we wanna say:
to the lifelong friends we’ve met through Fourplay - we adore you,
to the guys we’ve dated through Fourplay who are forever part of our single life lore - we love you (even if you didn’t love us back... your loss, tbh),
and to the people we haven’t met yet but will because of Fourplay - we’re ready when you are.

Whether you’re already part of our community, just stumbled onto this site, or are the first to comment on our chaotic content, thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to keep writing it with you.

With love,


Danielle and Julie
