FAQ

How does Skip make first dates safer?

Skip enhances safety by requiring matches to pass background checks and custom deal breakers before a first date. It also uses profile verification and date reviews to add accountability and prevent issues like bots or scams.

What are Skip's 'deal breakers'?

Deal breakers are custom criteria you set within Skip to ensure a match meets your essential compatibility requirements before you agree to a first date. Your match must pass 100% of your set deal breakers.

Can I chat with someone before a date on Skip?

No, Skip intentionally does not have an in-app chat feature. This design choice aims to prevent bots, scams, unsolicited pictures, and AI chatfishing, encouraging direct in-person connections.

Digital Date Cards can be sent via text, DM, or link, inviting someone to view your Skip profile and like you if interested. Physical Date Cards can be handed to someone in person as a low-pressure way to share your profile.
