Dating well
Build trust at a comfortable pace.
Practical privacy habits, from the first message to meeting in person.
Protect the details of your life
Keep your home address, financial information, identification documents and exact workplace out of your public profile. Never send identity documents or money to another member.
A badge is not a guarantee
Profile checks and background checks are different. Read what a service actually verifies. A profile label cannot establish someone’s intentions or guarantee future behaviour.
Make a first meeting easy to leave
Choose a busy, staffed venue. Arrange your own transport, tell a trusted person where you will be and keep your phone charged. You can leave whenever you feel uncomfortable.
