DateStLouis is built specifically for St. Louis singles.

The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.

Photo verification ensures all profiles are real people. When you upload photos, we ask you to take a quick selfie in a specific pose. Our system compares this to your profile photos to verify you're the person in the pictures. Verified profiles get a blue checkmark and see more matches!

Absolutely! You can update your profile anytime from your account settings. Change photos, update your bio, adjust your preferences, or add new interests. We recommend keeping your profile fresh to increase your visibility to potential matches.

We hope you find love and won't need to delete your account! But if you do, go to Settings > Account > Delete Account. You can also pause your account if you're taking a break. Note that deleting your account removes all your data, matches, and messages permanently.

Our smart algorithm considers multiple factors: location proximity, shared interests, relationship goals, and activity patterns. You'll receive daily match suggestions tailored to your preferences. Mutual likes create a match, allowing you to start messaging. Best of all, everyone gets unlimited likes and can see who liked them first - all completely FREE!
