Questions people ask before joining
These answers explain the practical details people usually check first, including cost, browser access, matching, privacy and account control.
Is me.you completely free?
Yes. Creating a profile, browsing, liking, matching, and messaging are all free. There is no paywall, no premium tier that hides the core experience, and no credit card required at any point.
Do I need to download an app?
No. me.you runs entirely in your browser. It works on desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile - And it's been designed to work well on all of them. There is no app to download, ever.
Who can create a me.you account?
me.you is for adults aged 18 and older. You must provide your date of birth, verify your email address, and follow the community guidelines to use the dating platform.
How does matching work?
When two people both like each other's profile, it becomes a mutual match. Only at that point does messaging open between them. Neither person is notified until it's mutual - There are no one-sided notifications.
Does email verification prove someone's identity?
No. Email verification confirms that a member controls the address used for the account. It does not prove their name, age, identity, or intentions. Keep conversations on the platform while trust develops and follow the safety guide before meeting.
Will I find matches near me?
That depends on how many active members fit your location, age range, relationship intent, and other filters. me.you cannot guarantee a match, reply, date, or relationship.
How private is my diary?
When you write a diary entry, you choose who sees it: private (only you), members-only (signed-in users), or public (anyone). Private entries are never accessible to anyone but you - Not even in search results.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. You can permanently delete your account from Settings. Your profile, photos, matches, messages, and diary entries are removed from the platform, subject to the limited safety and legal retention described in the privacy policy.
How does me.you handle safety and abuse?
Every account is email-verified before they can appear in discovery. You can block or report a user from their profile, and submitted reports enter the moderation queue. See the safety page for full details.
