Safety Tips

Your safety is our top priority. Stay smart while dating.

Meeting new people is exciting, but safety always comes first. As a shift worker, you may be meeting dates at non-traditional hours or in unfamiliar areas. Here are our top tips for staying safe.

1

Verify Your Match

Look for the verified badge on profiles. Verified users have confirmed their identity with a photo check. If someone refuses to verify, proceed with caution.

2

Keep Personal Info Private

Don't share your home address, workplace details, or financial information with someone you haven't met in person. Use the in-app chat until you're comfortable.

3

Meet in Public Places

For first dates, always choose a public location — a coffee shop, restaurant, or park. Avoid inviting someone to your home or going to theirs until you've built trust.

4

Tell Someone Your Plans

Let a friend or family member know when and where you're meeting someone. Share your date's profile with them. Consider using a check-in system.

5

Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off, it probably is. You're never obligated to continue a date. It's okay to leave early, and it's okay to block someone who makes you uncomfortable.

6

Watch for Red Flags

Be wary of people who pressure you to move off the app quickly, ask for money, avoid video calls, or have inconsistent stories about their work schedule.

7

Arrange Your Own Transport

Drive yourself or use a rideshare service to get to and from your date. Don't rely on your date for transportation, especially for a first meeting.

8

Stay Sober and Alert

Keep your wits about you, especially on a first date. Watch your drink being made and don't leave it unattended. Know your limits.

In an Emergency

If you're in immediate danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number). You can also reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
