ID Verification (Blue Tick)
Optional government ID verification with visible badge.
How it protects you: Confirms users are genuine and reduces catfishing risk.
Safety
Your safety comes first. Profiles and photos can be reported and are reviewed, and you can block anyone at any time.
Anything that worries you can be reported for review, and blocking someone takes effect whenever you choose. From our unique user rating system to identity verification and instant blocking, everything we build is designed to help you date with confidence and peace of mind.

Safer first meets
Verification and blocking help on the site. The meet still belongs to you. Stay in a public place for the first time. Pay for your own drink. Do not share your exact address until you have a reason to trust them. Tell someone the plan. If the person in the room does not match the profile, leave. You do not owe an explanation to someone who lied.
