Built around women's safety
Dating should never feel unsafe. Every feature below is live today — and our safety roadmap is guided by the women who use Nonna Picks. Inclusive for everyone, designed so women stay in control.
Talk before you share your number
Send in-app voice notes — hear someone's voice and get comfortable without ever giving out your phone number.
Selfie verification
Members can verify with a live selfie and earn a badge, so you know a real person is behind the profile.
One-tap block & report
Block or report from any profile or chat. Blocking is instant and mutual — they can't see you or contact you again.
Only matches can message you
No unsolicited DMs. You're only contacted by people you've matched with, and harassment-by-volume is rate-limited automatically.
Emergency contact
Add a trusted contact for real-world date safety — kept private and fully under your control.
Safety Center
Plain-English guidance for chatting, first dates, and spotting scams — written for how women actually date.

How Nonna works
Three steps from sign-up to your first real conversation.
Take Nonna's AI matching quiz
Three short sections across values, lifestyle, and personality. Stop after Part 1 — your matches already work.
See who you actually match with
Every profile shows your AI match score across seven dimensions, so you know why before you say hello.
Chat in-app or meet at an NYC event
Message your matches privately, or come to a local dinner, walk, or Match Night where they show up too.
Nonna Picks isn't for everyone
That's on purpose. The fastest way to know if this is your app: read both lists.
This is for you if
- You want a relationship, not a rotation.
- You'd rather read someone's values than guess from six photos.
- You want to see why you match — the actual score — before you say hello.
- You'd meet at a board-game night or a Sunday walk sooner than a 1am bar.
- You want verification, blocking, and message control on by default.Not sold back to you as a premium perk.
- You'd take five real conversations over fifty dead ones.
This probably isn't for you if
- You're looking for something casual tonight.
- Photos are the only thing you want to be matched on.
- You'd rather not answer a few honest questions about what you want.
- You expect to message people who never matched with you.You can't — and that's the point.
AI matches you can actually see
