Why The Date Post Exists

We built a dating app that only shows people free for a date today, in your city, who want to meet in person, somewhere public.

We built it to help people find friendships and love — the kind that start with a real plan, in a real place, on a real day. We believe technology should bring people closer together, not keep them scrolling forever.

Let's break the cycle of loneliness — one date at a time.

How It Works

Three steps. Sixty seconds. Possibly a date.

The whole product, end to end. We've kept the moving parts down on purpose.

1.

Verify once

Optional, and it takes about a minute: government ID + selfie, handled by Stripe Identity on Stripe's own secure page. Verify and you earn the ✓ badge other users trust most. Stripe does the match and sends us back only the result — your government ID never touches our servers.

✓ Optional — earns you the verified badge
2.

Open your Day Pass — $6.99

Browsing is always free. Your first ask or listing opens a 24-hour Day Pass for $6.99 — and for those 24 hours you can ask anyone who's free (once each) and post your own listing. One price, full access.

⏱ 24 hours of full access — ask and list
3.

Match, then meet in public

When you both say yes, it's a match — you swap contact details and arrange the date yourselves. We're the introduction, not a chaperone: pick a public spot and keep it public. Verified profiles, screened bios, and one-tap reporting are there to back you up.

Pricing

One price. That's it.

No tiers. No boosts. No "premium" upsells. No subscription. $6.99 opens a 24-hour Day Pass — the same price for everyone, every city, every time.

The Pact

The promises we make to ourselves before we make them to you.

A list of things The Date Post will not do, ever, written down so we have to mean it.

We will never become an escort marketplace. Solicitation is screened pre-publish, reviewed by humans, and grounds for a permanent ban. The platform is the introduction, not a transaction.
We will never sell your data. Not to advertisers, not to brokers, not to third-party "matching" services. Your ID and card details never even reach us — Stripe handles those. What we do keep, like your email and account, stays encrypted and is used only to run The Date Post and keep you safe.
We will never add boosts or premium tiers. The moment we add "boost to top of page" we've recreated Tinder and lost the differentiator. Revenue grows from venue partnerships, not user upsells.
We will never auto-renew a listing. Stale listings — people who listed at noon and forgot — break the trust premise. Re-listing is always a deliberate, paid action.
FAQ

Things everyone asks.

Tinder and Hinge optimize for the swipe — a low-commitment, low-cost game where most matches never meet. The Date Post inverts that: a $6.99 Day Pass filters out people who aren't serious about meeting today. Listings and asks live for 24 hours, so the page is always people who are actually free right now, never a graveyard of half-interested profiles.
Three reasons. First, it filters. People who pay $6.99 are serious about meeting today — bots, catfish, and tire-kickers self-deselect. Second, it funds the platform — ID verification, moderation, and keeping everyone safe all cost money, and the Day Pass pays for them. Third, it lets us never sell your data. Free apps make money by selling you; paid apps don't have to.
No, and we've designed every part of the platform against becoming one. Bios are screened pre-publish for solicitation language. Reports of compensated arrangements are reviewed and result in a permanent ban. The pricing is symmetric — askers also pay — so it doesn't function as a directory of paid availability. The pact above is a real commitment, not marketing copy.
Either party can report a no-show within 60 minutes of the agreed meet time. The other side has 30 minutes to respond. If confirmed, we make it right with a free Day Pass and the no-shower gets a strike. Three strikes = 90-day ban. Strikes expire individually after 30 days. False reports are also reviewed and penalized.
Government ID (passport, driver's license, or provincial ID) plus a selfie — checked by Stripe Identity on Stripe's own secure page. Stripe matches the selfie to the ID and sends us back only the result, so your government ID never touches our servers. Verifying is optional (you can list, ask, and browse without it), but it earns you the ✓ badge most people weigh heavily when deciding who to meet. Payments work the same way: cards go through Stripe, so we never see or store your card number either.
A Day Pass is a flat $6.99 for the day, so there's no automatic refund — but the pass isn't just one listing. For a full 24 hours you can also ask anyone who's free, so a quiet listing doesn't strand you: you can go ask instead. And if something genuinely goes wrong — a confirmed no-show or a problem we need to make right — we'll hand you a free Day Pass so you're not out of pocket. We keep it to passes rather than cash refunds to keep chargebacks simple.
One active listing at a time, tied to your account. You can change cities between listings, but you can't appear in two cities at once. This keeps the page honest — every listing is "yes, I'm actually free in this city today."
The Date Post is built for every city in the picker at the top of the page. Each city opens once it passes our readiness checks. Until then, your city's waitlist captures interest. The cities with the strongest waitlist signal get prioritized for the readiness work. We won't promise specific dates — we'd rather open later than open badly.

Be on the page today.

Tell us your city. We'll let you know the day we open it, plus offer a first-week Day Pass on the house. The cities with the strongest waitlist signal get our readiness work first.
