Flirtu: meet people in Telegram

Tired of dating apps that need a separate download and a long questionnaire? Flirtu lives inside Telegram. Press start, answer a few questions and you are looking at profiles of people nearby.

By audience size it is one of the more visible dating bots on the platform: more than a hundred thousand people open it every month 💝

Profiles, likes and matches

The idea will be familiar. You browse profiles, mark the ones you like and wait for a like in return. If it is mutual, the bot tells you about the match and you can start talking.

The bot's command list shows how it is built:

• /profiles opens the feed of profiles.
• /likes_you shows people who liked you.
• /matches keeps your mutual likes.
• /settings lets you edit your details.
• /help and /paysupport lead to support and payment help.

Which language to use

The welcome text is written in several languages at once: English, Russian, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. That helps if you want to meet people beyond your own city, including in other countries.

If you write in a second language, do not worry about mistakes. A short, warm line about yourself beats a long, perfect paragraph.

What costs money

The command list includes /buy, labeled as VIP and coins. So the bot sells part of its features: a VIP subscription and an in-app currency. Check exact prices and what each pack contains inside the bot before you pay, since they can change.

A simple approach is to try the free part first and see if the feed suits you. Decide on paid access after that. If a charge goes wrong, the /paysupport command is there for that.

Filling in a profile people answer

1. Use a real photo. A clear face in good light beats group shots and pictures from the internet.
2. Write two lines about yourself. Hobbies, city, what you do. Specifics catch the eye more than "I love life".
3. Open with a question. A bare "hi" rarely gets a reply, while a question about a shared interest starts a conversation.

Stay careful when you meet people online

Users fill in their own profiles, and the bot cannot vouch for each of them. Stolen photos, invented stories and requests for money show up on every dating service.

• Never send money to someone you only know from chat, however convincing the reason sounds.
• Do not share codes from messages or follow links to unfamiliar sites.
• Before meeting, pick a public place and tell a friend where you are going.
• Unsure about someone? Ask for a short video call.

If a person rushes you, asks you to leave the bot for another messenger and brings up money early, stop there. The bot is meant for adults, so share personal details deliberately.
