Keep early chats on-platform
Do not rush to share your phone number, workplace, home address or financial details.
Safety / Read before you meet
Stay open. Stay in control.
Online dating can be exciting, but a good connection never needs pressure, secrecy or money. Use this checklist before moving a conversation offline.
Watch for money requests
A crisis story, investment opportunity or emergency loan request is a serious warning sign.
Make the first meeting public
Choose a busy café or public venue, arrange your own transport and tell a friend the plan.
Trust your exit instinct
You do not owe anyone more time, a second date or an explanation if something feels wrong.
If you feel unsafe: leave, block and report the profile. If there is an immediate threat, contact local emergency services or someone you trust.
