Your safety comes first
We've built findrealfriends to feel like a community, not a marketplace. Here's how we keep it that way — and how you can help.
What we do
Verified profiles
Every member confirms their email and can opt into photo verification, so you know you're meeting real people.
Reporting & blocking
One tap to report or block anyone who makes you uncomfortable. Reports go to a real human, not a queue.
Community guidelines
Clear, enforced rules: be kind, be honest, no harassment, no spam, no romantic pressure on platonic connections.
Private by default
Your location and contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. Conversations are encrypted in transit.
Tips for meeting in person
- 1
Meet somewhere public the first time
A coffee shop, park, or group event is great. Avoid private homes until you know each other.
- 2
Tell a friend where you'll be
Share the place, the time, and the name of who you're meeting. A quick text — that's it.
- 3
Trust your gut
If something feels off in the chat or in person, you don't owe anyone an explanation. Leave, and tell us.

Report anything sketchy
Reports help everyone. Even if you're not sure — we'd rather hear it and look into it.
