Safety

Date with confidence.

Practical tools and habits for chatting and meeting in person. Safety should feel like common sense, not a lecture.

Tools on the site

Use them early if something feels off. You do not have to explain yourself first.

1

Block

Stop someone from contacting you. If a conversation turns strange or unkind, you can end it and move on.

2

Report

Tell us about harassment, suspected scams, impersonation, or anything that breaks the rules. Include the profile and a short description of what happened.

3

Verification

Verification options help you tell more about a profile. They are a useful signal, not a guarantee. Still take your time.

While you’re chatting

  • Keep early conversations on the site, until you both feel ready to meet or swap another way to talk.
  • Be careful with personal details — your address, workplace, or daily routine — until you know someone better.
  • Never send money, gift cards, crypto or banking details to someone you have only met online. Requests like that are a warning sign, not a test of trust.
  • If a story feels rushed, inconsistent or too dramatic, pause. You can block and report, and tell us what you saw.
  • Trust your pace. A good match can wait while you get comfortable.

When you decide to meet

A first date should feel like a date: public, straightforward, and easy to leave if you want to.

  • Meet in a public place you are happy with. Tell a friend where you are going and when you expect to be back.
  • Make your own travel plans, and have a way to get home that does not depend on the other person.
  • If access, lighting, noise, seating or travel will affect your day, say so when you plan the date. It is ordinary, not awkward.
  • Stay sober enough to keep your judgement, and do not leave drinks or belongings unattended.
  • You can end a date early. You do not owe anyone the rest of the evening.

Support is not an emergency service

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services: 911 in the US, or 999 / 112 in the UK and the EU. Do not wait for a reply from us.
