From signup to first video date in minutes
Five simple steps stand between you and your next real connection.
Step 1 — Create your profile
Sign up free with your email or social account, then add 4–6 recent photos that show the real you. Write a short bio — two or three honest sentences are more powerful than a wall of text. Complete our quick selfie verification to earn your blue badge, which signals trust to every match you'll meet.
Step 2 — Set your preferences
Tell Lumora who you're looking for: age range, location radius, lifestyle, intent (casual, serious, or anything in between), and the qualities that genuinely matter to you. The more honest your preferences, the sharper our matches.
Step 3 — Browse curated matches
Our compatibility AI surfaces a fresh, curated selection of singles every day. See who's online right now, who's nearby, and who shares your interests. Like, pass, or send a thoughtful icebreaker — no infinite swiping required.
Step 4 — Start a live video chat
When you both feel ready, tap "Video Chat" to start a secure, mutually consented live call. Calls are encrypted in transit. You control your background, your camera, and the duration. Most first chats last 15 to 25 minutes — long enough to feel chemistry, short enough to leave both of you wanting more.
Step 5 — Build real connections
From there, the story is yours. Some members move to a second video date the same week. Some plan a coffee in their city. Some take a few weeks to text and call before they meet. Lumora is built to help you go at your own pace — safely, respectfully, and honestly.
