Our Story

100% made in Luxembourg. Built by people who believe dating should be about real connections, not endless swiping.

Our Mission

We're bringing back authentic connections in Luxembourg's dating scene. In a world of endless swiping and superficial matches, Crush.lu takes a different approach. We believe that real relationships start with real conversations, face-to-face.

Every profile is personally verified. Every event is thoughtfully organized. Every connection is meaningful. That's not an algorithm's promise - it's our commitment.

We're all on our phones, and we forget the human side of dating. We wanted to create something that brings people together in real life. — Wesley Hourdequin, Co-Founder

The Founders

Two friends who met while studying in Nimes, France, and shared a vision to reinvent dating in Luxembourg.

💼

Tom Sawyer

Founder

The strategic mind behind Crush.lu. Tom saw an opportunity to build something unique for Luxembourg's dating scene - a platform where quality and authenticity come first.

"Luxembourg is small enough that everyone knows everyone, but big enough that you can still miss the right person. We bridge that gap."

Wesley Hourdequin

Co-Founder & Crush Coach

The heart of the Crush Coach concept. Wesley personally reviews profiles and organizes events, ensuring every member gets an authentic, human experience.

"On other apps, you can be whoever you want. Here, you have to be yourself - and that's what makes the connections real."
