While we work hard to create a safe environment, meeting people online always requires caution. Follow these guidelines to protect yourself while finding your bashert.
Stay Safe
Follow these tips for a safe dating experience
1. Video Chat First
Before meeting in person, have at least one video call. This helps verify identity and build comfort before taking the next step.
2. Verify Their Identity
Check their profile details. Ask mutual friends or family. Use social media to verify they are who they say they are.
3. Exchange Numbers Safely
Wait until you feel comfortable before sharing your phone number. Use the app's messaging feature until you're ready.
4. Meet in Public
Always meet for the first time in a public place like a cafe or restaurant. Tell a friend or family member your plans.
5. Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off, trust your gut. It's always okay to end a conversation or leave a date early if you're uncomfortable.
6. Report Issues
If someone makes you uncomfortable or behaves inappropriately, report them immediately. We take all reports seriously.
Additional Safety Tips
- Never send money or financial information to someone you haven't met in person.
- Use your own transportation to and from the first few dates.
- Keep personal details like your home address private until you know someone well.
- Share your date plans with a trusted friend or family member.
- Stay sober and alert during first meetings.
