About Us

SwipeMeTees was born from a missed moment.

If you’ve tried dating apps, speed dating, blind dates, endless texting — you already know how exhausting it can be. Filtered photos. Vague intentions. People who say they’re “open” but aren’t really looking for anything serious.

Time. Energy. Money.

And still… single.

One day, I was out shopping with my daughter when we struck up a conversation with a genuinely lovely woman. My daughter whispered, “Ask her out, Dad.”

I didn’t.

Not because I wasn’t interested.
Because I wasn’t sure.
Was she single? Would it be awkward? Was I misreading it?

That moment stuck with me.

What if one of us had simply been wearing a shirt that said:
“I’m single.”

Clear. Honest. Obvious.

No guessing. No awkwardness. No missed opportunity.

SwipeMeTees exists to remove the ambiguity.

Each shirt signals availability and intention in the real world. It’s not about being loud. It’s about being clear.

It tells the right people:
“I’m open.”

And it tells the wrong people:
“Keep walking.”

It takes confidence to wear your relationship status.

That’s exactly why it works.

Still fancy that cute barista?
They might be just as nervous as you are.

Sometimes all it takes is making it obvious.
