🛡️ Safe dating rules
💸
Never send money to someone you met online — not even in an "emergency".
📍
Meet for the first time in a public place and tell someone close where you are going.
🔐
Do not share your home address, bank details or ID documents.
🏃
Be wary of people who rush to move the conversation off the site.
🚩
Report suspicious profiles — we act on every report.
🚫
Block a persistent user — they will no longer see you or message you.
🚩 Warning signs
- Declares strong feelings very fast, before you have even met.
- Photos look like a professional shoot while the profile itself is nearly empty.
- Wants to move to WhatsApp, Telegram or e-mail immediately.
- Claims to work abroad, on an oil rig or in the army, and can never meet.
- A sudden "emergency" appears together with a request for money, a payment code or a gift card.
- Offers an investment, crypto or a "guaranteed" way to make money.
- Avoids a video call with various excuses.
- Applies pressure, sulks when refused, tries to make you feel guilty.
If any of these match your conversation — stop. Do not send money, report the profile and block the contact. Reports go to moderation together with the IP address.
🤝 The first meeting
- Meet in a public place: a café, a park, the town centre.
- Tell someone close who you are meeting and where — you can share your location.
- Arrange your own transport both ways. Do not get into a stranger’s car.
- Never leave your drink unattended.
- Keep the first meeting short and in daylight. You can always extend it.
- Trust yourself. If something feels wrong, just leave — you owe nobody an explanation.
🆘 Where to get help
If you are in immediate danger, call the emergency number: 999 or 112 in the UK, 112 across the European Union.
Report financial fraud to your bank and the police. In the UK you can also report it to Action Fraud.
