Dating safety

AQARIYA is built so international dinner dates happen in real life, in public, with clear signals that both people showed up.

How invitations work

Inviting someone to dinner is free. The inviter chooses a restaurant, a day and a time, and the invitation is sent. The invited person accepts or declines within 24 hours — if it expires, nothing happens and nobody is charged. Dinner bills are between you and your date, settled at the restaurant like any normal dinner.

Check in at the venue

When the date time arrives, both of you check in from your phones within 150 metres of the restaurant. This confirms you both actually showed up — no-shows leave no doubt.

The phone handshake

When you meet in person, the invited guest shows a rotating six-digit code and the inviter enters it. That handshake confirms the date happened. Codes refresh every 60 seconds, so a screenshot is useless.

Chat opens when they accept

There is no endless texting before a date. Private chat unlocks the moment your invitation is accepted, so you can coordinate the evening — and it stays open afterwards.

Block or report anyone

From a profile card or a chat you can block someone — you disappear from each other's discovery and no messages or invitations can pass either way. Reports are private and go straight to the platform admin for review.

Verification and demo profiles

Members can submit a short selfie video for review; only profiles manually approved by the platform owner carry the blue verified badge. Profiles labeled Demo are fictional examples for exploring the map — they are not real members and cannot receive invitations or messages.

Always meet in a public place, tell a friend where you're going, and arrange your own transport. If someone makes you uncomfortable, block and report them — the admin reviews every report.
