Roblox as a dating site—is that even possible? This surprising idea came from Roblox CEO David Baszucki himself, who recently suggested that adults might use the platform to form real relationships in the future.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s happening, what the CEO said, how Roblox currently handles dating, and why this idea has many people worried.

Explained: Roblox as a dating site

In July 2025, Roblox CEO David Baszucki said on a podcast that he sees Roblox as a possible solution to loneliness. He mentioned that adults aged 17+ could go on virtual dates through the platform—maybe watching a movie, attending a virtual concert, or hanging out in an online café.

His goal? To help people form connections online and possibly turn them into real-life relationships. This is part of a larger trend where Roblox is attempting to expand beyond just games for kids and become a comprehensive social platform, even for adults.

Current rules: Dating is NOT allowed on Roblox

Right now, online dating is not allowed on Roblox—for anyone. According to Roblox’s official Community Standards, any kind of romantic or sexual behavior between players is against the rules. This includes:

  • Trying to find a date or partner
  • Flirting with other users
  • Talking about romantic or sexual topics

Even pretending to date someone in the game is risky, especially if it seems real and not just part of a role-playing story.

Although Roblox bans dating, users still engage in it—especially in role-playing games. Some take conversations off-platform (e.g., to Discord or Snapchat), which increases risks. This has led to real-life abuse cases. That’s why many users are confused by the CEO’s recent comments.

Roblox’s new safety features in 2025

In response to safety concerns, Roblox launched several new protections in 2025:

  • Trusted Connections: Users who want more open chat features must prove their age by uploading a government ID or taking a selfie video (verified by AI).
  • Parental Controls: Parents can now limit screen time, track how much money is spent, and get activity alerts.
  • Better Moderation: Roblox is improving how it filters messages, checks content, and removes harmful players.

So, can Roblox really be a safe dating site?

Turning Roblox into a dating platform would be a big challenge. Here’s why:

  • Most people still think of Roblox as a kids’ game
  • Many children still play on the platform every day
  • Online predators could fake their age to join “adult-only” spaces
  • Moderating dating content is much harder than games

For now, Roblox says dating is not allowed. But if the CEO’s vision comes true, the company will need to build much stronger safety systems. With past cases of online grooming, loopholes in moderation, and a young user base, many people believe that Roblox should focus on improving safety first before launching any kind of dating features
