What’s Crush or Flush™?
Crush or Flush is a fun, safe, and easy way to meet people, chat, and stay in contact with friends using your cell phone or your computer (PC or Mac). Getting started is a no-brainer. First, upload your face pic, add a description, and create some tags that describe who you are (ex. booty shaking, being awesome, or kung fu master). Get creative, express yourself. Second, let us know if you are looking for a woman, a man (or both). That’s it, you’re profile is done and you can start Crushin’ and Flushin’ people.
I don’t want to chat with anyone I’m not into
We hear you. That’s the beauty of Crush or Flush™ - you’ll only chat with people you have Crushed… whether they are for friends or more. Of course, if they haven’t Crushed you then you’re out of luck.
What’s a Crush?
A Crush is what it sounds like - you like someone, think their cool, want to hang out, be friends, hook up… you get it. If you like them, hit Crush.
What’s a Flush?
A Flush is the opposite of a Crush. If you don’t like someone, hit Flush. They’ll never know you flushed them so no hard feelings.
Is it safe?
Privacy and safety are built in. Unlike traditional sites where members can hide behind multiple profiles tied to different e-mail addresses, on Crush or Flush™ you can only have one profile that is tied to your cell phone number. During the sign-up process, your cell number is used to verify that you are a real person, and there can only be one profile per number. If someone harasses you or causes a problem, we will block his number and that person will permanently disappear.
I don’t want anyone to know my personal 411
We’re with you - no one ever gets your real name, cell phone number, or e-mail address. Later on, if you want to exchange digits on your own, that’s your deal. Ball’s always in your court. People can only see your profile which you create. When you and someone else have a Mutual Crush, you text chat anonymously. Keeping your personal 411 private is important to us. Crush or Flush™ will never share or sell your phone number to anyone. We work hard to keep our service safe and secure for you.
Who can use Crush or Flush™?
If you are 18 or older, you can use Crush or Flush™ - regardless of your sex, race, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and religion. We are creating an environment that is inclusive and safe for everyone.
Why do I have to be at least 18 years old?
Because we are a place for adults to meet, chat, and hang out with friends. We don’t want creepy adults viewing profiles of underage people – that’s wrong.
What if I want to meet people who are into booty shakin’, Ben and Jerry’s and snuggling?
They’re up on Crush or Flush™ - check’em out. The cool thing is that you can find people with similar interests to you. If you find the tag ‘fiesta animal’ you can click on it and browse other people’s pictures who share the tag ‘fiesta animal’.
How do I find and chat with people who have a crush on me?
Easy. Click 'Find & Filter' from the main menu and then click 'Who Crushed Me.' You'll see a small checked box at the top of your screen telling you that you are now browsing everyone that has a Crush on you. Same deal - if you like them you can Crush them back and chat, if not, Flush them and they'll never know. It's that simple.
Where does it work?
Right now Crush or Flush is in the US, UK, China, and Brazil. We're also expanding rapidly so stay tuned!
Will this work on my phone?
Yes. Crush or Flush™ works on all cell phones and all carriers across the U.S. Still don’t believe us? Ask us for help. If it doesn’t work on your phone here are some tips:
How do I get it on my phone?
Send a text message to CRUSH (27874) and you’ll get a text back that gives you the 411. Or, click I can't sign in under the Sign in button and we’ll send a text to your phone. Once you get it, click the link to start Crush or Flush™. Some phones allow you to directly click on links and other phones make you use a menu. Once Crush or Flush™ loads up you should probably create a bookmark so it is easy to get to next time. Not sure how? Ask us for help.
How do I create an account?
On this website, just click Sign up on the right bar. Using your phone, click Create profile and follow directions. Or, on your cell, send a text message to CRUSH (27874) and you’ll get a text back that gives you the 411.
How do I log in?
What's my nickname?
Whatever name you want to call yourself - it's that simple.
How do I add/change my photo?
If you already have a photo, click My Profile and then remove your current picture. Once you remove your photo, add a new one using either your computer or your phone by going to My Profile and following the instructions.
Your photo will appear as soon as it is approved, within 24 hours. Pick your best and most recent photo … you’re not fooling anyone. Choose a face shot that shows your eyes well. Remember, people are going to be checking you out from their cell phone screens. If someone else is in your pic, make sure to use photo editing software to draw an arrow or something to let us know which one’s you so we can crop them out. Otherwise, just send us a pic of you alone.
How can I add a photo using my camera phone?
Send them to photo@crushorflush.com
The steps are a little different on every phone - look for an option like ‘Messages’, ‘Email’, ‘Picture Messaging’, ‘MMS’ or ‘Multimedia Messages’. Then look for an option to insert a picture. You can also use your phone’s camera menu. Look for something like ‘View photos’ and pick the photo you want to send. Then find an option like ‘Send in Message’.
Any pic restrictions?
Not really. Send us a gif, jpg or png - less than 3MB. Photo too big? Open it using a photo editor and crop your pic so it so just your face shows. We’ll do the rest to make you look good.
What do the numbers mean next to the words?
When you're Crushin' and Flushin', you’ll find shortkeys next to text links. Press the number on your phone’s keypad instead of clicking the link … whatever's easier. 1 for Crush, 2 for Flush. 3 for Tell a Friend. Got it?
How does chat work and how do I check my messages?
Chat works like e-mail and IM. You can send messages back and forth without being online and you’ll see a running conversation with each Mutual Crush so you know where you left off last. This means no more tellin' the same joke twice.
Crushin' and Flushin' is easy … just give it a try or get more info.

Yes, but only you can see this. Go to My Profile, or hit 6 on your phone key pad. Scroll down and you will see your recent Crushes and Flushes.
How do I hook up my friends?
Easy. Use Tell a Friend to send a text message to your own phone. Then use your phone to forward it to whomever you want. It’s similar to forwarding e-mail. Your friend will get a text message and can then Crush or Flush™ the person - even if she isn’t signed up yet.
What if I want to hook up all my friends?
Easy. Use Tell a Friend to send a text message to your own phone. Then use your phone to forward it to everyone you want. Most phones allow you to send the message to many people at once.
How do I pimp It?
You can pimp your MySpace, Xanga, hi5, or tag your friend’s online profiles by grabbing one of our images. Use them wherever you want.
