Consent and respect on dates

Clear, ongoing consent makes dating better for everyone. Here is what it looks like in practice.

01Consent is clear and enthusiastic

A clear 'yes' matters. Silence, hesitation or being unsure is not a yes.

02It can change at any time

Anyone can change their mind, at any point, about anything. Respect it straight away.

03Alcohol affects consent

Someone who is intoxicated cannot give meaningful consent.

04Ask, do not assume

Checking in, such as 'Is this okay?', is respectful and attractive.

05Report harassment

If someone crosses a line, report them on Riven. We review every report and ban people who break our Community Guidelines.

Date with verified people

Every Riven member verifies a government ID and a live face scan.
