DearReal – Trustworthy Dating – safe, genuine and private

Overview

DearReal is a dating app focused on safe, genuine connections through a trusted network model. Users can only message if a friend has matched them or if two friends have vouched for them. The platform emphasizes privacy by letting users curate who can view their profile, using a human-insight approach to reduce fake content, and offering a matchmaking experience centered on real relationships rather than endless swiping. The app is free, GDPR-compliant, UK-based, and positions itself as a privacy-first dating solution where introductions and vouching come from trusted friends.
