## Facts
- Is it free? Joining, making a profile and browsing are free. You need a membership to read and reply to messages, and you see the options before you pay.
- How do I know people are real? Every photo is checked by a person. Members who pass an ID check carry a Verified badge, so you can see who has been checked.
- How do I find someone who wants a serious relationship? Say clearly what you want on your profile, look for people who say the same, and ask early. Meeting in places with regular routines, like classes and clubs, helps too.
- Is it okay to say I want marriage on my profile? Yes. Saying you want a long-term partner or would like to marry one day helps the right people find you. Keep it warm, not a list of demands.
- How do I know if someone is just looking for fun? Ask them. Then watch whether their actions match their words over time: do they make plans, follow through and introduce you to friends?
- What if someone wants to commit very fast? Be careful. Intense declarations in the first weeks and pressure to commit can be signs of love bombing. Real interest is steady and lets you set the pace.
