6.2 Safety Recommendations
For your safety and wellbeing, we strongly recommend following these practices:
- Take Time to Know the Person: Chat with your match through the app before meeting in person or sharing personal contact information.
- Meet in Public Places: For your first few meetings, choose public, well-populated locations like cafes, restaurants, or parks.
- Tell Someone About Your Plans: Let a trusted friend or family member know about your date plans, including who you're meeting, where, and when.
- Arrange Your Own Transportation: Maintain control over your arrival and departure. Avoid depending on your date for transportation.
- Stay Sober: Keep a clear head during initial meetings by limiting or avoiding alcohol consumption.
- Keep Personal Information Private: Be cautious about sharing your home address, workplace, financial information, or other sensitive details until you've established trust.
- Trust Your Instincts: If something feels wrong or uncomfortable, don't ignore that feeling. It's okay to end a date early or discontinue communication.
- Report Suspicious Behaviour: Help keep our community safe by reporting users who violate our guidelines or engage in concerning behaviour.
- Use Caution with External Links: Be wary of links to external websites sent by other users, as these may lead to scams or malware.
- Protect Your Financial Information: Never send money to someone you haven't met in person, and be suspicious of users who quickly ask for financial assistance.
