Game Theory App Solves Dating's Biggest Dilemma

Game Theory and Dating: App Solves 'Proximity Dilemma' Los Angeles, CA – May 16, 2025 – A new dating app, Mutual, is tackling the age-old problem of navigating romantic interest within a friendship circle. The app's creator, Josh Wolk, uses game theory to illustrate the "proximity dilemma," where the closer you are to someone, the greater the risk of ruining the friendship by revealing your feelings. Wolk explains, "The app lets you know if someone likes you back before you express your feelings, eliminating the risk of awkwardness or damaged friendships." Mutual's unique approach has already gained traction, with over 1600 views in just over 10 days. The app's innovative solution suggests a potential shift in how people approach dating in the digital age. It's a testament to the power of technology in addressing complex social dynamics.
