Trust and safety
Dating safely across distance
Long-distance relationships deserve extra care. These habits protect you without spoiling the romance.
Take your time
There is no prize for moving fast. Someone who genuinely wants a future with you will be happy to wait while trust is built.
Keep early conversations on the platform
Our messaging keeps a record and allows us to act on reports. Move to private channels only once you genuinely trust someone.
Never send money
No genuine member will ask you for money, bank details, gift cards, cryptocurrency, travel money or visa fees. A request like this is the clearest warning sign there is.
- A sudden emergency that only money can solve
- A story about being stuck at an airport or in hospital
- A promise to repay you as soon as you meet
- Asking you to receive or forward money for them
Protect your information
Do not share your home address, workplace address, bank details, identification documents or intimate photographs.
Meeting in person
- Meet in a busy public place the first few times
- Arrange your own transport and accommodation
- Tell a friend or family member where you will be and when you expect to be back
- Keep your phone charged and share your location with someone you trust
If something feels wrong
Trust that feeling. Block the member, then report them. Reports are confidential and we review every one.
