Guide
Dating as a second-generation Iranian
Born in London, Toronto or LA to Iranian parents, you probably grew up switching cultures at the front door. Dating is where those two worlds meet.
The in-between
Your friends date freely; your parents hope you will meet someone nice, ideally Iranian, ideally soon. You might feel too Persian for some and not Persian enough for others. That in-between is common, and it is a shared experience on Dor Dor rather than something to explain.
Language and identity
Rusty Farsi is normal. Profiles show the languages people speak, and many second-generation members write in English or Finglish. Our guide to conversation starters helps if you want to try.
Family
Decide what you share and when. You can keep Dor Dor private, pause your profile when visiting family, and choose who sees you with Premium's incognito mode.
Mixed backgrounds
Half-Iranian, mixed-faith, mixed-generation: all welcome. Say as much or as little as you like on your profile.
Dor Dor is a dating app for Persians living outside Iran, in Persian and English, with every photo checked by a person. What Dor Dor is.
