Safer dating & address verification
Online dating offers lots of choice opportunities. But we know there are risks, too. And since the get-go, we chose to set the standard in terms of quality and security. We watch out for you. How do we do it? For example, we insist on verifying the postal address of all new registered members from the first day onward. Do we love bureaucracy? No. We only love truth. (And beauty.) We want to be sure that only genuine users join Flirt.com.
Why have the best online dating platform there is if we can't ferret out the fakers? Our data show that only one out of three prospective members is willing to let his or her data be verified. The others are asked to leave. Politely. And that's the way we want to keep it. Remember: If you aren't real, no deal.
|
3.
Safe and anonymous approach
Anonymity is one of the big advantages of online dating. We take responsibility for providing Flirt.com members with a completely safe and reliable playing field. We're not just a friendly interface. Flirt.com was built by top-notch experts in the technical field. You can expect that anonymity and security at Flirt.com meet the highest standards.
|
4.
Contacts via cell phone und text message
Our goal has always been to make online dating fully available to you, whether you're in Cancun or Timbuktu. That's where your cell phone comes in handy. Using your mobile phone, in conjunction with Flirt.com's technology, means your anonymity is always protected. You don't even need to be a subscriber. All you need is your user name and we do the rest.
|
5.
Your personal friendship network
Have you ever thought about getting all your online friends together in one cozy place? We did. And as a result, we created the "Circle of Friends". It's a brand new Flirt.com feature. Here's how it works. When you invite a friend to join your Circle of Friends, you get to meet your friend's friends, too. It.s the perfect way to keep all your friends and acquaintances within reach. It's a great way to meet new people, too. Maybe your perfect match is closer than you thought. Do the math. The more people you meet, the luckier you might be, right?
|
6.
Chat rooms and ID-checked users
Everyone likes to chat online with terrific people, but no one wants to be harassed. With more than 10 years of experience, Flirt.com knows that unpleasant things do occasionally happen. Our goal is to take away the worry. Only people who have passed our strict verification procedure are allowed to chat online at Flirt.com. No exceptions.
|
7.
Free Software and Goodies
Life gets boring. And sometime an Internet browser is just not enough to fully enjoy a chat or flirtation. That's why we developed innovative software add-ons. When your chat session leaves you wanting more, you can take advantage of our unique messenger, for example. Use it for speedier chats and simple data transfer. Or would you like to watch relevant partner suggestions on your computer screensaver? Our photo zapping screensaver makes it possible. And don't forget, the Flirt.com single radar connects you over your cell phone with the best singles in your area.

| Profiles |
1.
So how do I create my profile?
Simple! Register for free and get ready to create your personal profile. Your profile will reflect a small part of what makes you truly unique, so share a little bit of yourself with Flirt.com. Your anonymity is protected at all times, so you can be 100% yourself. Check out our Privacy policy.
|
2.
Who gets to see my profile?
Only registered members can take a peek at your full profile. Non-registered users can view basic profile data only.
|
3.
Hey, why do some profiles not have a photo?
So you've found a cool prospect on Flirt.com and there's no photo? When you register with Flirt.com, you can upload as many photos as you like. It's up to you. It's not required. But remember, a profile with a photo is a lot more appealing, and it increases your chances of being discovered by someone special. Didn't you like the books with pictures best when you were a kid? A first impression is always important, but there's more to it than that. Just keep in mind that honesty is the best policy. Enough said.
|
4.
How many details do I have to list?
Your registration requires that you complete our basic data profile. After that, it's up to you. You can list all the details you want about your interests, appearance, lifestyle, and partnership preferences. Should you suddenly remember that you forgot to mention your affinity for the kazoo, you can edit or update your profile any time via SETTINGS. But here, the same conditions apply as with your photo: The better you describe yourself, the higher your chances are of finding just the right fun or flirt partner.
|
5.
What does the activity barometer on my profile mean?
The activity barometer shows the frequency of Flirt.com use. There's a barometer displayed on each user's profile. The scale ranges from one point for a moderate to active member, up to five points for a highly active user.

Help! Flirt.com-Mail, Flirt.com-mobile text messages or ICONY-Messenger.Which should I use and when?
So many choices! The online-status on a member's profile allows you to see if that person is online when you are.

You can send and receive Flirt.com-Messages via MESSAGES in your personal message box. On each profile, you can look to see if communication is available via MESSAGES and/or SMS.

Flirt.com-Mail from other members can be found at MESSAGES, your personal messagebox. You can send out a message (e-mail) from the same place. If you decide to send mail to a Flirt.com non-member, one message gets written off from your Flirt.com account. The recipient, however, can reply for free. Members can send e-mail to other member for free, no limits.
Flirt.com-Messages: Flirt.com-SMS
All Flirt.com subscribers can contact other members using cell phone text messaging. When you send a Flirt.com mobile text message, we deduct your Flirt.com account by one message. But the recipient of the Flirt.com mobile text message always receives a copy of the message to the personal message box and can decide to reply via Flirt.com-SMS or Flirt.com-Mail. Replying via Flirt.com-Mail is free, and the sender of the Flirt.com-mobile text message can be activated for unlimited Flirt.com-mailing.
