Serious dating: find the person to build a life with

What “serious” means on Serious Dating

No promise of guaranteed true love: simple tools so you don't waste time with someone who isn't looking for the same thing as you.

The relationship goal, in plain sight

It is part of the profile, just like the photos. Before you like a profile, you know whether the person wants a lasting relationship.

Real people

One selfie copying a gesture is all it takes to get the blue badge. You can even choose to see only verified profiles.

An app that sticks to what matters

No news feed, no stories: profiles, matches and conversations. Nothing that distracts from meeting someone.

A profile that truly says who you are

A serious relationship starts with an honest introduction. On Serious Dating, a profile brings together everything that helps you decide whether you want to go further.

  • Up to 5 photos, including one that clearly shows your face
  • Your relationship goal
  • The languages you speak and your interests
  • A few lines about yourself, and the city where you live

From the first like to the first real conversation

The app's features, also available on the website with the same account.

  1. Like, match, chat

    Tap the heart on the profiles you like. If the interest is mutual, it's a match: you can write to each other for free, with no message limit.

  2. Go back to a profile

    Swiped past a profile too fast? Rewind brings it back, for a few diamonds or without limit with Premium.

  3. The priority message

    Don't want to wait for a match? The priority message, paid in diamonds, goes straight to their inbox.

  4. The Connections tab

    Your matches and the people who liked your profile in one place, with a badge as soon as there is something new.

Five topics to discuss before you commit

No need to turn the first coffee into an interview. But these questions, asked over your first dates, save you from finding out too late that your plans point in different directions.

  1. Pace: how fast does each of you imagine the relationship moving?
  2. Children: do you want them, do you already have some?
  3. The role of family and friends in big decisions
  4. Work, money and work-life balance
  5. Where to live: stay, move, go abroad?

Date with confidence

Scammers also target people sincerely looking for love: a perfect profile, a quick declaration, then a request for money. Four habits are enough to protect yourself.

  • Never send moneyNo bank transfer, gift card or cryptocurrency to someone you have never met, whatever the emergency.
  • A video call firstBefore you get attached and before any date. Repeated refusals are a warning sign.
  • A first date in publicIn a busy place, during the day, and tell someone close to you. Get home on your own.
  • Report and blockIn two taps, from the profile or the conversation. The moderation team reviews every report.

Three steps to get started

Create your profile

Your photos, a few words about yourself and your relationship goal: a few minutes are enough, on the website or in the app.

Get it verified

As soon as the interest is mutual, the conversation opens, with no message limit. The rest is up to you.

One account, on the website and in the app

Your matches and conversations follow you: on your computer to write in peace, then on your phone with the Serious Dating app.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if someone is also looking for a serious relationship?

Every profile shows a relationship goal, chosen by the member at sign-up. Read it before liking a profile, then check in the conversation that your intentions match: a goal is no substitute for a few sincere conversations.

Is Serious Dating free?

Yes, for the essentials: sign-up, profile, likes and unlimited chat with each of your matches. Diamonds and the Premium subscription are optional: they help you go faster, not meet people.

Why is there no news feed?

Because Serious Dating is designed for meeting someone and nothing else. With no posts or stories to scroll through, your attention stays on profiles and on conversations with your matches.

What do you do about fake profiles and scams?

Photos are checked automatically, profiles can be verified by selfie and the moderation team reviews every report. On your side: never send money to someone you haven't met, suggest a video call and report any suspicious profile.

Can I choose which profiles I'm shown?

Yes, in your preferences: the gender you're looking for, the age range, the distance around you (up to the whole world) and, if you wish, verified profiles only. These settings are the same on the website and in the app.

How do I send a message to a member?

If you both like each other, the chat opens for free and without limit. To write without waiting for a match, the priority message, paid in diamonds (cheaper with Premium), goes straight to their inbox.
