Meeting and talking
Meet people who fit
Daily match suggestions weigh things like location, age range, relationship goals, lifestyle habits and shared interests. When you know what you want, search lets you narrow things down.
Talk when you feel ready
Message members directly, or join the moderated live chat. Private chat groups let you talk with up to 50 people at once, and you never give out your phone number.
Community and care
Share a little of yourself
Post to the discovery feed, write in Articles and Spaces, and like and comment on what others share. It is an easy way to show who you are before you send a message.
Checks and support built in
Free ID verification puts a badge on your profile, explicit images are blurred until you choose to view them, and a report button sits on every profile. Customer support is on call around the clock.

Are Super Matches and Boosts included?
VIP and VIP+ include 3 free Super Matches and 1 free Boost every week. Free members get 1 free Super Match a week. Anyone can buy more in packs. Free Boosts do not build up, so you hold at most one at a time, and they end if your membership ends. Boosts you buy are yours to keep.
What are Super Matches and Boosts?
A Super Match lets you send a message to someone that they will always be able to read and reply to, and prioritises your profile to them for 24 hours. A Boost gives your profile priority placement across the app for 60 minutes.
