Orthodate at a glance

What is Orthodate?

How it works

Three steps, nothing complicated.

  1. Step 1

    Make a profile

    A few photos, and as many questions as you feel like answering. Skip the rest.

  2. Step 2

    Like something specific

    Reply to a photo or an answer instead of swiping, so there is something real to talk about.

  3. Step 3

    Meet in person

    When it clicks, plan a safe public meeting and decide together what the next step should be.

Safety and privacy

Useful safeguards, honest limits.

Orthodate confirms email addresses and, where enabled, mobile numbers before a profile appears in discovery, shows only approximate distance and provides block and report controls. These safeguards add friction for misuse; they cannot prove a person’s identity, intentions, relationship status or safety.

Verification with limits
Confirmation makes disposable accounts harder to create, but every member should still verify trust gradually.
Less precise location
Members may see an approximate distance. Exact coordinates, email addresses and phone numbers are not shown.
Control the connection
Private chat requires a mutual match, and members can block or report unwanted or concerning conduct.
Clear deletion controls
Account deletion removes profile data from live systems promptly; limited backups or legally required records may remain as explained in the Privacy Policy.

No dating service can guarantee a match or a person’s safety. Keep early personal and financial information private, meet in public and leave any situation that feels wrong.

All questions

What is Orthodate?

Orthodate is an online dating app for Orthodox Christians. It helps Orthodox singles meet other believers near them who share the same faith, values and intentions, with profiles built around real questions instead of endless swiping.

Who is Orthodate for?

Orthodate is for single Orthodox Christians aged 18 and over, including practising and returning Christians, converts and people raised in the Church. During setup, members can choose marriage and family or Orthodox friendship, and should discuss intentions directly.

How does Orthodate work?

You create a profile with a few photos and answer as many faith and lifestyle questions as you like. Orthodate then shows you compatible people nearby. Instead of swiping, you reply to a specific photo or answer, so a conversation starts with something real. When you both like each other, you can chat and take it offline.

Which Orthodox jurisdictions and traditions are welcome?

Profile options include Eastern Orthodox jurisdictions and Oriental Orthodox churches, including Greek, Antiochian, OCA, Russian, Serbian, Romanian, Ukrainian, Coptic, Armenian, Ethiopian and other traditions. Members can describe their actual parish connection and practice on their profile.

Where is Orthodate available?

Orthodate is a web app open to eligible adults worldwide. The number of matching profiles depends on location, preferences and when people join, so a wider but genuinely workable distance can help in a small Orthodox community.

How much does Orthodate cost?

Orthodate has a free tier and two paid ones. A free account includes 3 profiles a day, matching and unlimited messaging with everyone you match with. Orthodate+ and OrthodateX add things like unlimited likes, seeing everyone who has already liked you, searching a whole country instead of a radius, and filtering by height, education, languages and verified profiles only; they start at $11.99 a month on the six-month plan. The full price is shown before anything is charged, subscriptions renew until you cancel, and you can cancel in Settings at any time. There is no advertising anywhere in Orthodate.

What does account verification mean?

An account confirms an email address and, where mobile verification is enabled, a phone number before its profile appears in discovery. Confirmation adds friction for fake or abusive accounts, but it cannot guarantee identity, intentions, character or safety.

How does Orthodate keep members safe?

Email addresses and, where enabled, mobile numbers are confirmed before a profile appears in discovery. Members can block or report others, exact addresses are not shown and private chat opens after a mutual match. These measures reduce some misuse but cannot guarantee identity, intentions or safety.

Have a look around.

No ads, clear account controls and a profile you can remove from Settings.
