Question 1

What is Rent Your Crush?

Accepted Answer

Rent Your Crush is a marketplace for booking verified, platonic companions for public outings — coffee, dinners, events, museums, gallery walks, and city tours. It is strictly companionship, never romance or private meetings.

Question 2

Is this a dating app?

Accepted Answer

No. Every booking is a paid, time-boxed, strictly platonic hangout in a public venue. No dating, no romantic expectations, no private meetups — ever.

Question 3

How do I book a companion?

Accepted Answer

Browse verified profiles, pick a companion, choose a date, time, and a public venue, and pay through our secure checkout. Your payment is held in escrow and only released to the companion after the hangout is complete.

Question 4

Are companions verified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every companion completes government-ID and selfie verification before they can be booked. Profiles that are not approved cannot appear in search or accept bookings.

Question 5

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Companions set their own hourly rate — most are between $60 and $150 per hour. A small service fee is added at checkout. Creating an account and browsing profiles is free.

Question 6

How does the platform make money?

Accepted Answer

Rent Your Crush takes a 15% commission on every completed booking. The remaining 85% is paid out to the companion after the hangout is marked complete.

Question 7

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All meetups happen in public venues only, every account is identity-verified, payments are escrow-protected, and every booking includes in-app messaging, reporting, blocking, and an emergency panic button.

Question 8

Can I cancel a booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancellations are made through the platform. If you cancel before the scheduled hangout, held funds are returned minus applicable platform fees. If a companion cancels, you're refunded in full.
