A safer way to meet a stranger

There's a calculation everyone runs before meeting someone from the internet. Who is this person, really. Is the place public enough. Does anyone know where I'll be, and until when. It runs in the background, and it's heaviest for whoever's taking the most risk. Kissbait is built so those questions have answers before you leave the house.

You already know where you're meeting

Every match is built around an event, so the first meeting lands at a venue. A stadium in Kadıköy, the concert hall at Zorlu PSM, the open-air theatre in Harbiye, a cinema. Staffed, lit, full of people who came for the same reason. That takes away the worst part of meeting a stranger, which is the empty room where you're making up the whole evening, including where the exits are.

Verification and escrow carry the rest

• Profiles are verified with email, phone OTP, and an optional selfie check, so the person you matched with is the person who walks up to you at the gate.
• Ticket money sits in escrow until delivery is confirmed. Nobody hands cash to a stranger in a car park and hopes the QR code scans.
• Reporting and blocking are one tap away, and they do something. A report goes somewhere and gets acted on. It isn't a form that vanishes into a queue.
• Before a first meeting, the app shows venue tips and lets you share your location with someone you trust in one tap.

What happens when something does go wrong

Nothing's foolproof, so the real question is what a bad day looks like. If a ticket never arrives, the money was never released; it sat in escrow until you confirmed, so there's nothing to chase. If someone turns out to be a problem, you report them and you block them, and the block holds. And since you were always meeting at a public venue, the worst case is that you walk out of a crowded room. You're not stranded somewhere with no way back.

We work to KVKK and GDPR standards, with EU-grade data controls from the start, because trust isn't something you add later once you've got users. It has to be there first. On a good night the ticket is the only thing that changes hands, and you spend the evening thinking about the person, not the logistics.
