If you are still looking for a Valentine's date and don't feel brave enough to go up to your crush and ask them out, try the 'Would Love 2' [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app) dating app.

The app lets users discreetly choose contacts from their Facebook profiles who they would like to go out with. Only when two people pick each other do they get a notification, alerting them to their secret love for each other. The privacy aspect of this app makes it especially suitable for younger users who may be too shy to tell someone they like them out of [fear of rejection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crush-feelings).

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, the 'Would Love 2' Facebook dating app offers an easy, stress-free solution to finding a date without the risk of embarrassment or rejection.
