Questions, answered
Greenlight Date is built around specific date offers. These answers explain the current product, launch area, participation options, and safety approach without making promises the service cannot guarantee.
What is offer first dating?
Offer first dating begins with a proposed activity, day, time, and public location instead of a swipe queue. On Greenlight Date, the recipient can accept, send a counter offer with a different time or place, or decline privately, and messaging opens only after an offer is accepted.
Who can use Greenlight Date?
Greenlight Date is for eligible singles age 18 and older. Discovery is intended to serve eligible adults equally without narrowing participation to a particular gender, orientation, or age group above 18.
Is Greenlight Date free?
Yes. The free Red plan includes up to two date offers per day and full access to incoming offers. Paid plans are optional (Yellow is $9.99 per month for six offers per day and Green is $19.99 per month for 10 offers per day), optional offer packs add +1 offer for $1.99 or +3 offers for $4.99, and no purchase is required to join or publish a profile.
| Tier or Pack | Cost (USD) | Daily Offer Allowance | Core Capabilities |

| Red Plan | Free ($0/month) | Up to 2 offers/day | Full profile, respond to all incoming offers, send counter offers, daily picks, and live event check in |
| Yellow Plan | $9.99/month | Up to 6 offers/day | Advanced discovery filters (verified, height, interests, availability), profile views, and 12 hour refreshed picks |
| Green Plan | $19.99/month | Up to 10 offers/day | Priority offers pinned and highlighted in recipient inboxes plus unlimited Discover browsing |

Where is Greenlight Date available?
Greenlight Date is available in all five New York City boroughs, Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, and the four named New Jersey municipalities of Hoboken, Jersey City, Weehawken, and Newark.
What happens after an offer is accepted and after the date?
An accepted offer opens a focused chat, with up to 20 messages per person for that date cycle. Add the plan to Google Calendar or download an .ics file.
Both people reconfirm within the four hours before the scheduled start. Unconfirmed dates cancel automatically. Members who consistently confirm and keep their dates can earn the Shows up badge.
When the date ends, the chat closes. Both people can complete a private check-in with standout tags, optional date reviews, and a second-date choice. If both want to meet again, Greenlight Date reveals the mutual yes.
How do Greenlight Date live singles events work?
Scan the venue QR code or enter the six-character event code in Discover while check-in is open.
After you publish your profile and check in, an event tab shows checked-in members who match your preferences. Attendees on all tiers can use it regardless of home distance radius and send date offers within each member's daily offer limit.
Check-in also unlocks available venue perks and event raffle participation. See the singles-events guide for the full event flow.
Does verification guarantee that every member is safe?
No. Greenlight Date offers in app identity verification through Didit, moderates profile photos and video introductions before they become visible, and lets you share a private date safety link with a trusted friend showing your scheduled activity, time window, and public venue, but these controls cannot eliminate every risk. Members should protect personal information, meet in public, and follow the dating safety guidance.
Where can I use or download the Greenlight Date app?
Greenlight Date is live on the web at greenlightdate.com and available as an Android app on Google Play, with iOS coming soon. Greenlight Date is an independent offer first dating platform for adults age 18 and older and is not affiliated with any banking, debit card, or financial service.
