Creating a Safe Profile
- Use recent, clear photos that show your face
- Avoid sharing personal details like your home address or workplace in your bio
- Keep contact information private until you feel comfortable
- Complete verification to increase trust with others
During Online Conversations
When chatting with new matches:
- Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it probably is
- Be cautious of profiles that seem too good to be true
- Never share financial information or send money
- Report suspicious behavior immediately
- Keep conversations within the platform until you establish trust
Meeting In Person
If you decide to meet someone offline:
- Always choose a public place for your first meeting
- Inform a friend or family member where you're going
- Provide your own transportation to and from the meeting
- Keep your phone charged and with you at all times
- Don't accept rides or go to private residences on first dates
- Stay sober and maintain clear judgment
Red Flags to Watch For
Be cautious if someone:
- Refuses to video chat or meet in person after extended messaging
- Asks for money or financial assistance
- Pressures you for personal information too quickly
- Has inconsistent stories or evasive answers
- Uses overly romantic language too soon
- Claims to be from another country and needs help with expenses

- Use the Report feature on any profile or message
- Block users who make you uncomfortable
- Contact our support team for serious concerns
- Preserve screenshots if needed for investigation
