1. Create your profile
Photos and a few words about you. The strongest profiles are specific rather than impressive — a detail someone can reply to beats a list of adjectives. There is a guide on exactly this.
2. Set your intentions
Dating, love, a relationship or marriage — set on day one, as a field rather than a hint buried in a bio, so nobody has to guess and nobody wastes a month finding out.
You also set three separate places: where you live, where you are from, and where you are open to meeting. They are different things, and treating them as one is why most apps cannot help someone whose life spans two countries.
3. Get RealMe verified
A government ID and a live selfie, matched against your photos. About four minutes, and nobody can message you until it is done — including you. Everyone you talk to has been through the same check.
4. Turn on Ready
Ready is how you say you are genuinely open to meeting someone right now, rather than browsing. It lasts seven days and then switches itself off unless you turn it on again.
The expiry is the point. A permanent “looking for something serious” flag drifts out of date the moment life gets busy; a seven-day one is only ever on because someone actively said so this week.
For You
Introductions are picked for compatibility and shown with the reasons attached — both want a serious relationship, similar family values, both open to distance — and with the dimensions where you do not already agree shown as open questions rather than hidden.
There is no percentage and no ranking by who paid. A score implies a precision the model does not have, and it invites people to read a number as a verdict on a person.
Sending an introduction
You do not have to match before you can talk. Send an introduction: a short note saying why you would like to meet. If they are interested too, the conversation opens.
