Safe Dating Tips
Protect Your Personal Information
- Do not share your home
address, workplace address, or daily routine with someone you
have not met in person.
- Avoid sharing financial
information, including bank details, credit card numbers, or
your Social Security number.
- Use the in-app messaging
feature to communicate. Avoid moving to personal phone numbers,
email, or other platforms too quickly.
- Be cautious about
sharing your full name, social media handles, or other
identifying details early on.
Take Your Time
- Get to know someone through
the app before agreeing to meet in person.
- Pay attention to
how they communicate. Watch for inconsistencies in their stories
or details.
- Trust your instincts. If something feels off,
it probably is.
- Do not feel pressured to meet before you
are ready. A respectful person will understand.
Meet in Public
- Always choose a public,
well-lit location for your first few dates — coffee shops,
restaurants, parks, or other busy venues.
- Avoid meeting at
your home or your date's home until you feel completely
comfortable and have built trust.
- Consider choosing a place
you are familiar with so you feel more at ease.
Tell Someone Your Plans
- Let a friend or family member
know where you are going, who you are meeting, and when you
expect to be back.
- Share your live location with a trusted
contact using your phone's location-sharing feature.
-
Arrange to check in with someone during or after the date.
