Skip Dating - Safer 1st Dates

SKIP DATING, INC.

About this app

A safer way to plan a first date, no matter where you met.
- On another dating app
- Social media
- Through friends
- In person

Never go on another first date without knowing they've passed a background check and your deal breakers.

Choose how you connect through Skip:

DIGITAL DATE CARD
Already talking to someone? Send them a customizable Digital Date Card by text, DM, link, or QR code. They’ll receive a personalized Skip Date Invite where they can view your profile and like you if they’re interested.

PHYSICAL DATE CARD
See someone in person you’re interested in getting to know? Hand them a Physical Date Card instead of immediately asking for or sharing a phone number. It’s a simple, low-pressure way to show interest without putting them on the spot. They can check out your Skip profile on their own time.

ALREADY ON SKIP
If they’re already on Skip, simply like their profile. If they like you back, it’s a match.

HOW SKIP WORKS
1. Set Your Deal Breakers
Set custom deal breakers to know your match is compatible before the first date.

2. Meet someone you’re interested in
A connection can start anywhere.

3. Connect through Skip
Send a Digital Date Card, hand them a Physical Date Card in person, or like their profile if they’re already on Skip.

4. Match
If you both like each other, it’s a match.

5. Complete your screening
They’ll need to pass any deal breaker and background check requirements you’ve enabled before they can propose a date.

6. Plan the date
Align on a date, time, and place using each other’s availability and date location preferences.

7. Confirm & check in
Confirm your plans, share your ETA, and check in when you arrive.

8. Enjoy your date
Meet up and see if there’s a spark.

9. Review & decide what’s next
Review each other after the date. If you’d like to keep the connection going, exchange contact details.

HOW SKIP HELPS MAKE DATING SAFER
- Date Cards bring connections onto Skip’s platform for safety and compatibility screening before you meet.
- Require a match to pass a background check* before the first date.
- Set custom deal breakers that help communicate boundaries and spot red flags before meeting.
- Date reviews help add accountability and identify potential safety concerns.
- Profile verification helps confirm the person in the profile photos is the same person you would meet.
- No in-app chat helps prevent bots, scams, unsolicited pics, and AI chatfishing.
- You decide after a first date if, when, or whether to share your contact details.

BACKGROUND CHECKS
- Require a match to complete a background check before the first date.
- Results valid for 12 months, no need to repeat for every date.
- Users who complete a check receive a profile badge.

Skip partners with Checkr to offer background checks. These checks require SSN verification, helping reduce fraud risk compared with name-only screening. Screening may include, where available:
- Sex offender registry
- Global watchlist search
- National criminal search

Skip has already helped people go from a first date to real relationships, including marriage.

*NOTE ON BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIREMENTS
- Who can require a background check depends on match type, selected experience, and user settings. In women seeking men matches, women may require men to complete a background check before proposing a date. In other match types, the feature is available to users who choose the “screen others” experience.
- Background checks help reduce risk but do not verify identity or guarantee safety.

Ratings and reviews

I can't find the deal-breakers. The photos zoom and crop too much. No option to contact technical support on the app. If you are going to match without messaging you need much more than just six interests and at least 500 characters for the profile prompts. Should be more than four profile prompts. I'm not going to meet with someone because we both like movies and the beach

1/9/2024: Really looked forward to using this app! I like the concept but won't let me log in with my number. I click "next" and nothing happens. I uninstalled and installed the app a few times and still doesn't work for me. Update (1/11/2024): I reached out to customer service and was able to get the app working. Scott, was very helpful! Giving 3 stars for now since the profiles have r launched yet. Looking forward to seeing how this app works!

If you like a profile you swipe left to view more. If you don't like it, you swipe up to reject; unless you've first swiped left, in which case by swiping up you'll view the full profile. The problem? The up swipe/scroll is not a 1-to-1 function: it does different things depending on whether you've swiped left first. In a digital world where swiping left has become synonym of rejection, and scrolling up/down is constantly done w/ news and social media, Skip comes as highly counterintuitive.
