No paid tier
There is no premium plan, so nobody sees more than you do. Anyone can write first, see who liked them and use every filter.
A dating site that doesn't charge you to say hello
Most dating apps let you browse for free and then ask you to pay to reply. Here messages, likes and search filters are open to everyone.
What's different here
Photos checked before they appear
Every photo is reviewed before other members can see it. Phone numbers and links are held back in first messages, and any profile can be blocked or reported.
Nearby first
Search starts with people close to you, by distance, age and interests. You can also look around any other city.
You decide what's visible
Hide your distance or when you were last online, browse invisibly, or delete your account with all its data at once.
