Dating Safety Tips

Everything you need to know about security in Dating Pro and in real life.

 

We have made a list of what you need to know about your security, and we have collected all the information here. Reach out here anytime you need advice or an answer.

 

Online Safety

  • Never Send Money or Share Financial Information
    Never send money, especially over wire transfer, even if the person claims to be in an emergency. Wiring money is like sending cash — it’s nearly impossible to reverse the transaction or trace where the money went. Never share information that could be used to access your financial accounts. If another user asks you for money, report it to us immediately.

  • Protect Your Personal Information
    Never share personal information, such as your social security number, home or work address, or details about your
  • daily routine (e.g., that you go to a certain gym every Monday) with people you don’t know. If you are a parent, limit the information that you share about your children on your profile and in early communications. Avoid sharing details such as your children’s names, where they go to school, or their ages or genders.

  • Stay on the Platform
    Keep conversations on the Dating Pro platform while you’re getting to know someone. Because users with bad intentions often try to move the conversation to text, messaging apps, email, or phone right away.

  • Be Wary of Long Distance and Overseas Relationships
    Watch out for scammers who claim to be from your country but stuck somewhere else, especially if they ask for financial help to return home. Be wary of anyone who will not meet in person or talk on a phone/video call—they may not be who they say they are. If someone is avoiding your questions or pushing for a serious relationship without meeting or getting to know you first — that’s a red flag.

  • Report All Suspicious and Offensive Behavior
    You know when someone’s crossed the line and when they do, we want to know about it. Block and report anyone that violates our terms. Here are some examples of violations:

    • Requests for money or donations

    • Underage users

    • Harassment, threats, and offensive messages

    • Inappropriate or harmful behavior during or after meeting in person

    • Fraudulent profiles

    • Spam or solicitation including links to commercial websites or attempts to sell products or services

  • Protect Your Account
    Be sure to pick a strong password, and always be careful when logging into your account from a public or shared computer. Dating Pro will never send you an email asking for your username and password information — if you receive an email asking for account information, report it immediately.

 

Meeting in Person

  • Don’t Be In A Rush
    Take your time and get to know the other person before agreeing to meet or chat off Dating Pro. Don’t be afraid to ask questions to screen for any red flags or personal dealbreakers. A phone or video call can be a useful screening tool before meeting.

  • Meet in Public and Stay in Public
    Meet for the first few times in a populated, public place — never at your home, your date’s home, or any other private location. If your date pressures you to go to a private location, end the date.

  • Tell Friends and Family About Your Plans
    Tell a friend or family member of your plans, including when and where you’re going. Have your cell phone charged and with you at all times.

  • Be in Control of Your Transportation
    We want you to be in control of how you get to and from your date so that you can leave whenever you want. If you’re driving yourself, it’s a good idea to have a backup plan such as a ride-share app or a friend to pick you up.

  • Know Your Limits
    Be aware of the effects of drugs or alcohol on you specifically — they can impair your judgment and your alertness. If your date tries to pressure you to use drugs or drink more than you’re comfortable with, hold your ground and end the date.

  • Don’t Leave Drinks or Personal Items Unattended
    Know where your drink comes from and know where it is at all times — only accept drinks poured or served directly from the
  • bartender or server. Many substances that are slipped into drinks to facilitate sexual assault are odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Also, keep your phone, purse, wallet, and anything containing personal information on you at all times.

  • If You Feel Uncomfortable, Leave
    It’s okay to end the date early if you’re feeling uncomfortable. In fact, it’s encouraged. And if your instincts are telling you something is off or you feel unsafe, ask the bartender or server for help.
