FAQ

What does Skip Dating do?

Skip Dating is designed to make first dates safer and more accountable. It allows users to require potential matches to pass background checks and meet custom deal breakers before meeting in person. The app aims to reduce wasted time and increase user confidence.

How does Skip Dating ensure safety?

Safety is enhanced through several features. Users can mandate background checks, set specific deal breakers to identify red flags, and leave anonymous date reviews for accountability. Profile verification and the absence of in-app chat also help prevent scams and unwanted interactions.

Is Skip Dating free to use?

The app is free to use, with optional add-ons available. While core features like setting deal breakers are free, background checks may be an optional purchase or requirement depending on user settings and match types.

What kind of background checks are performed?

Background checks are partnered with Checkr and may include SSN verification, sex offender registry searches across all states, global watchlist searches, and national criminal searches. These checks help reduce fraud risk and provide a more comprehensive screening.
