8. Happn
What sets apart Happn from the rest of the competition would certainly not work in small town, but New York City is just perfect for it. Happn matches you with the ones you bump into while commuting through the city. Not people you know, but people you see and pass you by every day in the city. Just think about the person you saw sitting on a train last night, and you thought to yourself he/she is rather hot! Well, if they had Happn installed, you could be able to get in touch with them. Without going through the hassle of doing some ice breaking if you were to take the initiative to talk first.
