Ever After Introduces Psychology-Driven Dating Platform Focused on Emotional Intelligence and Real-World Connection

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / February 8, 2026 /Ever After, a psychology-driven dating and events platform, has announced its continued development and early expansion as it works to address growing dissatisfaction with swipe-based dating culture. Founded in 2025 by entrepreneur and senior legal contract manager Teresa Waicekauskas, the platform integrates personality science, artificial intelligence, and curated in-person experiences to support more intentional relationship building.

Ever After was developed in response to the increasing emotional fatigue reported by many users of traditional dating applications. Waicekauskas, identified a need for a more structured and emotionally grounded approach to modern dating. Drawing on her background in contract negotiation and systems-based thinking, she designed Ever After around the proprietary personality framework with an integration of Hexaco psychology to emphasize compatibility, emotional intelligence, and long-term relationship potential. Based on data, the higher the compatibility, the higher the happiness.

"Dating has increasingly become transactional and time-intensive without delivering meaningful connection, "Teresa Waicekauskas said. "Ever After was created to reintroduce structure, purpose, romance and emotional awareness into how people meet and engage, both digitally and in real life. "

The platform combines AI-supported compatibility insights with curated social experiences designed to encourage authentic interaction. These curated experiences range from small, private gatherings to larger themed events, allowing participants to connect beyond digital profiles. The company 's long-term vision includes the development of an AI-supported dating and relationship coaching component focused on emotional wellness, romance and healthy communication.

Before founding Ever After, Waicekauskas built a career as a Senior Legal Contract Manager, overseeing complex agreements across state and federal government agencies, pharmaceutical organizations, and Fortune 500 companies. Her professional background informed Ever After 's operational structure and emphasis on integrity, accountability, and thoughtful design.

In addition to her professional work, Waicekauskas has been affiliated with several leadership and innovation organizations, including the FBI Citizens Academy Alumni program, WiSTEM 1871 Alumni in Chicago, the University of Chicago Innovation & Entrepreneurship program, and The 10th House Collective by Rebecca Minkoff. These affiliations reflect her ongoing involvement in community engagement, women-led innovation, and purpose-driven entrepreneurship.

In the near term, Ever After is focused on expanding its U.S. waitlist, growing a community of emotionally intelligent singles, and forming partnerships with organizations in the wellness, hospitality, and lifestyle sectors. Longer-term plans include international expansion into Canada, Asia, and Europe, as well as broader educational initiatives related to emotional intelligence and relationship wellness.

"At its core, Ever After is about building relationships with intention that will foster romance, and happiness, "Waicekauskas said. "Technology can support that process when it is designed around human values rather than speed or volume. "

Ever After operates at the intersection of psychology, technology, and real-world experience, contributing to broader conversations around emotional wellness, modern relationships, and human-centered innovation.
