Let me shout this louder for people in the back. Italki is not a dating site! Members on the discussion board should be honest about what they are looking for. If you want a tutor or teacher or free language exchange. That's one thing. Or even casual friendship. That's what is allowed on Italki. Please don't ask members through private message for links to dating sites. Be truthful with people that you message. Don't mislead them and say you're just looking for a casual friend, then suddenly switch gears and ask for a link to dating sites. Strangers aren't on here to help someone find a partner/spouse.
