Welcome to
Real-life connections, no apps required
Button Up for Love
TM
Hi, I’m Katie—the heart behind Button Up for Love™.
This whole thing started with a breakup, a gym crush, and one big question:
“Why is it so hard to meet people in real life anymore?”
So I did something about it.
Button Up for Love™ is a grassroots movement to bring back real-life
connection—no apps, no ghosting, no pressure. Just fun, wearable pins that
say, “Hey, I’m open to a conversation.”
Some are bold. Some are shy. All are honest. Because connection doesn’t
need to be complicated—it just needs a little signal. Like a button.
What started as a single idea has grown into a collection of conversation
starters, subtle signals, and quiet confidence—all designed to help people feel
seen, start talking, and maybe even spark something real.
Whether you're flirty, introverted, awkward, or wildly charismatic—
there's a button for you.
So go ahead.
Wear it. Share it. Start something real.
About Us!
Choose the button that speaks your truth — flirty,
friendly, introverted, or “handle with care.” Each
one is designed to signal something special:
🧡 I’m open to meeting people
💬 I love deep conversations
🐶 Ask me about my dog
😅 Socially awkward, but trying
Your vibe. Your pace. Your pin.
Pick your button pin
Clip it to your jacket, backpack, lanyard, gym bag —
wherever feels right. Your button is a quiet little
beacon. No pressure, no performance — just a
simple way to say:
“Hey, I’m open to connection.”
You might get a smile. A compliment. A brave “hi.”
That’s where the magic begins.
Wear it in the wild
When someone notices your button, they’ll know
it’s okay to start a conversation — or maybe you’ll
spot a button on someone else and feel bold enough
to make the first move.
No swipes. No algorithms. Just real humans, being
brave in small ways.

I got one of the flirty buttons as a
joke, but then someone actually
complimented it and we ended up
grabbing coffee. So now I have a
button and a crush. 10/10 would
wear again.”

I’m super shy, and dating apps are
the worst. But this button gave me a
way to say, ‘Hey, I’m open’ without
saying a word. It’s cute, low-
pressure, and honestly kind of
empowering.
