Now live in Houston, Texas

The dating app for meeting people in Houston — in person.

Houston is huge, and a match 40 minutes away isn't a date — it's a commute. The Wild shows you which matches are out near you right now, so you spend the night meeting people instead of driving.

How The Wild works in Houston

  1. Tell us who you're looking for. Your answers power a match score on every pin.
  2. Go online when you head out. You appear as an anonymous pin; your photos stay hidden unless you choose to show them.
  3. Read the map and go. See which part of Houston has the most matches tonight, wave to someone you like, and say hi in person.

Where Houston goes out

The map shows wherever members actually are, but these are some of the areas where nights out in Houston tend to happen:

Montrose

Cocktail bars, patios and late-night spots in Houston's most walkable nightlife area.

Midtown

Bar-hopping territory with a younger crowd on weekends.

The Heights

Breweries, wine bars and patios with a neighborhood feel.

Washington Avenue & EaDo

Big weekend crowds, rooftops and pre-game spots near the stadiums.

Covering greater Houston

Membership covers about 50 miles around Houston, including Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pearland, Cypress, Spring, Pasadena, League City and Kingwood. Messaging is limited to matches nearby, so every chat is with someone you could actually go meet.

Private by design

Pins are anonymous, locations update on a delay rather than live, the app pauses while you're driving or walking, and you can set private areas like home and work where you never appear.
