The basic idea is that people sign up and answer questions about what they are and what they're looking for.

The app then uses your answers to find the most compatible matches. The more compatible answers a user provides, the more strongly they'll match.

It seems to us that the profit motive of dating apps is to keep you on the app as long as possible, and to get you to pay for features. This is not a good way to find love. GoodDate is free and non-profit, and our goal is to help you find love as quickly as possible (partly to save money on hosting, but mostly because we want you to be happy).

There can be a lot of reasons this might be the case.

• As of 5/01/25 the platform is brand new and more users need to join — tell your friends please!
• You may have very specific criteria, and the app does not show users who don't match your criteria.
• You may have an answer that very few users accept.

You both need to like eachother to send a message. If this occurred after talking, it's possible that user has unliked or hidden you, has deleted or deactivated their account, or was banned.

Nope! It could be a bit of a power imbalance / weird for the creator to use the site.

Yes, eventually. This is not a priority at the moment.

In the event that GoodDate closes down, we'd prioritize this and release the (very imperfect) code.

The short answers is that only a small percentage of legitimate users actually change their email address.

The longer answer is that it's a security measure to reduce the amount of scammers and bot accounts using temporary addresses and changing them after signup. If you really need to change the email address associated with your account, e.g you use social login and the email from the social provider has changed, please contact us and we can help you out after some verification.
