WHAT IS DATEDISH? Datedish is a dating safety and verification utility designed to support people who use any dating app. Instead of matching or swiping, Datedish helps you verify profiles, understand trust signals, and create transparency before and after dates. Datedish adds a new layer of safety to online dating, something missing from major dating platforms. WHY DATEDISH? Clarity Before Connection View trust indicators, verification details, and behavioral signals to feel confident before engaging with anyone from any dating platform. A Transparency Resource for the Dating Community Datedish elevates the online dating space by bringing safety, accountability, and clarity to a process that often lacks all three. Mutual Reflections, Not Public Reviews After a date, both people can share private reflections visible only to each other, never public, never searchable. Emotionally Intelligent Insights Trust Badges, such as Respectful, Emotionally Aware, or Clear Communicator, help you understand how someone shows up in real-world connections. Clean Endings or Clear Continuations If both people choose to move forward, communication opens naturally. If not, the connection closes respectfully, reducing ghosting and uncertainty. FEATURES • Trust Score™ A multi-factor safety score that helps you understand how someone communicates, behaves, and shows up before you invest your time or energy. • Dish™ Reflections A private, mutual post-date reflection tool that encourages honesty without pressure or judgment. • Trust Badges Emotional intelligence indicators earned through real interactions, not profiles. • Profile Verification & Wingman Validation™ Confirm someone’s identity through direct verification or by having trusted contacts validate them. Some features may require a subscription. WHO IS DATEDISH FOR? • People frustrated with unsafe or inconsistent dating experiences • People who want clarity instead of mixed signals • People who value emotional maturity and communication • People seeking transparency and accountability across all dating apps • Anyone who wants greater confidence before meeting new people WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT With Datedish, dating becomes safer, clearer, and more grounded.
