A calmer way to meet someone

Dating at the speed of a real conversation

Five introductions a day, chosen with care. You start by replying to something a person actually said — not by deciding in half a second whether to keep their face.

  • Photo verification built in
  • 18+ only, every account age-checked
  • Free to join — Soula+ is optional

How it works

Three steps, then it is just two people talking

  1. Say who you actually are

    Six minutes, five prompts, answered in text or in your own voice. Verify with a quick selfie and you get a blue badge that stays out of your way.

    Photos, prompts, intent, and what you are hoping for. No personality quiz.

  2. Meet five people a day

    Your Daily 5 arrives each morning — chosen for compatibility, not for how long you will keep scrolling. Nearby, Out & About and Moments are there when you want more.

    Five is the number because five is what a person can actually consider.

  3. Start with something specific

    Reply to a prompt, a photo or a Moment. They accept, chat opens, and you have 72 hours to say the first thing. No unanswered openers sitting there for weeks.

    Likes stay private. Nobody gets pinged just because you looked twice.

A look at who is here

Profiles lead with an answer, not a selfie. This is what a card looks like before you have said a word to each other.

Bread that takes three days. I will talk you through the whole schedule.

My ideal Sunday looks like

Long walk, short nap, someone reading next to me who talks to the book.

I'll know it's a good connection if

We lose the thread of the conversation and neither of us minds.

Bring me a playlist with a reason attached to every track.

On weekends you will find me

In the cheap seats at the theatre, then arguing about it over noodles.

I learned Portuguese to read one poet properly. Worth it.

My idea of a perfect first date

Ninety minutes, one coffee, no phones. If it works, we extend it.

Trust and safety

Safety you can see working

Most of this is quiet by design. It is still the part we spend the most time on.

Photo verification

A live selfie in a pose we prompt on screen, matched against your photos. Change your main photo and it re-verifies. It confirms the photos are you — it is not an ID check, and we say so.

Reports read by people

Report from a profile, a message, a prompt, a Moment or a post. Most reports are reviewed within 24 hours, and anything involving risk to a person jumps the queue.

Blocking that is quiet

Blocking works both ways, takes effect immediately and is never announced. You do not owe anyone an explanation for leaving a conversation.

Private things stay private

Your date of birth, exact location, filters and deal breakers are never shown to anyone. Every optional field on your profile has its own visibility switch.

Read the Safety Centre or theCommunity Guidelines.

In their words

What people say when it works

  • Five people a day sounded restrictive until I realised I was actually reading profiles again instead of thumbing past them.

  • The prompt reply is the whole thing for me. Someone answered the one about my grandmother’s recipes and we were three messages deep before either of us thought about a photo.

    AdeLondon · joined the beta

  • I liked that verification was a two-minute selfie and then never mentioned again. It just quietly made the whole app feel calmer.
