Dating

When dating starts on a screen: first-chat tips

Plenty of relationships now start with a chat between strangers. The first conversation isn't about impressing someone — it's about seeing whether talking feels easy.

Lead with curiosity, not compliments about looks

On Yapzy there are no photos, which is a good thing: you get to know someone's personality first. Ask about what they love doing and why.

Respect a "no"

If someone isn't interested, or doesn't want to share something, accept it gracefully. Respect is the most attractive thing in any chat.

Don't rush to move platforms

If you click, add each other as friends on Yapzy and keep chatting. There's no need to hand over numbers or social media early.

Be honest

Pretending to be someone else never ends well. Be yourself — the right people will like that person.

And always: never send money to someone you've only met online.
