Amour is the French word for love. In English it also means a love affair, often one that stays private. That is the meaning this site uses. A romance, a fling, and a longer private arrangement can all sit under that word. They are not the same thing, which is why a profile has to say which one you mean.
It is not a pet name. In French, calling someone "mon amour" means "my love". That is something you might say to a person you already know. It is not the site name, and it is not a way to open a first message to a stranger.
It is not a promise of a public relationship. Amour, in the English sense, is the affair itself: two adults who have agreed to keep it between them. If you want something you can introduce to friends, this is the wrong word, and this is the wrong site.
Private means the arrangement is not published. It does not mean you hide whether you are married. Say so. A secret that starts with a lie about being single is how someone gets hurt. The guide on what an affair means here is the practical version of that.
Your surname, your workplace, and your messages stay off the public page. A web search does not open your profile. The guide on how discretion works is the list of what else stays unsaid.
If that is the arrangement you want, say it in plain words. One sentence about what you can offer, and one about what you cannot, is enough. People who want the same thing can answer. People who wanted a different meaning of the word can look elsewhere.
