1. Verify, and Premium switches on
Ananya sets her profile to woman and takes the quick selfie check. Once she is verified, Wrati's Premium turns on for her free — more likes, seeing who likes her, filters and calls — with no card and no plan to pick.
Her verified badge also tells the people she likes that she is who her photos say she is, which is exactly what she wants to see from them.
2. Say what she is here for
She sets her intention to dating and writes one honest line in her bio: “Looking for someone to try new cafés with — coffee first, everything else later.” People who want the same thing come up first, and people who want something very different are not competing for her attention.
3. The conversation starts when she wants it to
A man she matches with can send her one message. He cannot send another, or call her, until she replies. Ananya reads at her own pace and only answers the people who wrote something worth answering.
If anyone is rude or pushy, block and report are one tap away and never need a plan.
4. A call before the coffee
Before agreeing to meet, she has a short video call inside Wrati. Nobody's phone number changes hands, and ten minutes on a call says more than a week of messages. She keeps calls switched off for everyone else.
5. Coffee somewhere public, on her terms
She picks a busy café she knows, at a time that suits her, and makes her own way there and back. She tells a friend where she is going and who she is meeting, and keeps the first date short — one coffee. If it goes well, there will be a second.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real Wrati member's story?
No. Ananya is an illustrative example used to show how the features work. Real member stories appear on the Stories page only after the member has submitted and agreed to publish them.
Is a coffee date a good first date?
It is short, public and easy to end politely, which is why many women prefer it. A video call inside the app beforehand helps you decide whether to meet at all.
Do I have to share my phone number before meeting?
No. Chat and voice or video calls happen inside Wrati, so you can talk and plan the date without giving out your number.
