Background checks ⓘ

Background checks can help make first dates safer by adding an extra screening step before meeting. Skip uses SSN verification, which helps reduce fraud risk compared with name-only screening.
✔ Require a match to pass a background check before the first date.
✔ Screening may include, where available, sex offender registries, global watchlists, and national records.
✔ Results are generally valid for 12 months, so there is no need to repeat for every date.
✔ Users can voluntarily complete one to earn a profile badge.
Deal Breakers ⓘ
Deal breakers help make first dates safer by setting expectations early, filtering out bad fits, and making red flags easier to recognize.
🛡️ Set Expectations Early: Use deal breakers to communicate what matters before the date, so you do not have to bring up important boundaries for the first time in an awkward or uncomfortable in-person moment.
🚫 Filter Out Bad Fits Early: On Skip, matches must pass your deal breakers at 100% in order to propose a date, helping filter out people who do not meet your standards before a first date.
🚩 Spot Red Flags: Setting clear boundary deal breakers upfront makes it easier to recognize when someone intentionally crosses a line, because your boundaries were already clearly communicated.
Profile Verification ⓘ
Profile verification helps make dating safer by helping confirm the person in the photos is the same person you would meet on the date.

🛠️ We verify authenticity to help prevent fakes.
✅ Earn a blue checkmark once confirmed.
Date Reviews ⓘ
Date reviews can help make first dates safer by adding accountability after the date. Users can leave private feedback to help surface red flags and support a safer community.
⭐ Private feedback: Users can leave anonymous ratings and reviews after each date to help surface positive or concerning behavior.
📍 Date tracking: Skip logs who, where, and when a date occurs, helping connect reviews to real dates and add accountability.
✅ Trust signals: Positive post-date compliments can appear on a profile and help provide added context for future users considering whether to like their profile.
❌ Removing Unsafe Users: Reviews help flag users who violate safety standards, making it easier for Skip to remove unsafe users.
Date Cards ⓘ
A safer way to turn an in-person connection into a date.
🤝 Share a Date Card: If you see someone in person and are interested in getting to know them, hand them a Date Card instead of sharing your number. This keeps your personal contact info private until you feel safe sharing it.
🛡️ Built-In Safety: Date Cards help turn an in-person connection into a safer first date by guiding the other person through your required safety and compatibility steps on Skip, like passing your background check and deal breakers, before you agree to go on a date.
No AI Chat Catfishing ⓘ
Skip helps make dating safer by preventing AI chat catfishing through completely removing in-app chat, so bots and scammers cannot hide behind fake conversations.
Without chat, scammers have fewer ways to ask for money, stay anonymous, or manipulate users remotely. Most will not agree to an in-person date, because it exposes their identity and makes scams much harder to pull off.

Skip helps make dating safer by making it easy to share your date details with friends and family.
📅 Share who you’re meeting, where, and when.
👥 Keep loved ones informed.
🛡️ Added transparency for safer first dates.
Contacts shared only after the first date, if desired ⓘ
Skip helps make dating safer by letting you decide after a first date if, when, or whether to share your contact details.
✅ Share contact info only if you choose and feel comfortable.
🔒 Avoid unwanted messages, harassment, and scams.
🛡️ Keep your personal details private until you are ready.
