Online Dating is a great way to meet new people and find your match and whilst you
might want to jump in and meet someone straight away, it's always best to remember
to be safe. Check out our online dating safety tips to help you have fun and stay
safe along the way.
A Little Privacy Is Good!
It is advisable to keep your full name, telephone number, email address or any other
information that is linked to your identity private from another user until you
feel that you know and trust the user.
However if you do decide to give out your email address we'd advise you to create
a new email account that is just for online dating.
The System's Built For You!
So use it! As you know it's common sense not to give away any details about yourself
too soon, if however you do and something happens to make you think you don't want
to hear from the person again, there is not much you can do. However if you use
our email system, you can block, check and we can track any concerns you may have.
(Don't worry we don't check your mail unless you ask us to!)
Got Your Number?
So, you've emailed someone a couple of times and you've thought about giving your
phone number to the person... Double think or even Triple think... We'd advise you
don't give your number out straight away and ensure the conversation is heading
in a good direction before you do!
Fishing For Financial
Information
Never disclose your financial information, whether it be your card or bank details
with any other online user. We know this may sound like common sense but then again
if common sense was applied then we may not have identify theft.
"But I Believed Them..."
Everyone we meet is honest... right? Wrong, as much as we want to believe this,
unfortunately that may not always be the case, beware of the emotional scammer.
These individuals could build up your trust just to make you part with your cash.
They may tug at your heart strings with stories of job loss and financial difficulties.
If they genuinely like you then they would not ask you for any financial support.
It Was Love From The First Email
Err wrong! If another user declares their undying love for you within a very small
amount of time then it's unlikely to be the real deal! Use your common sense and
be wary.
Trust Your Gut Feeling
You have been emailing a particular user for a while but they are evading some of
your questions, their profile seems too good to be true, something is just not right...
then trust your gut feeling! 9 times out of 10 it is going to be right!
First Date Time?
Hmmm... where to go on the first date? There are a lot of things you can do on a
first date, but golden rule number 1, tell someone where you're going.
Number 2, make sure you meet in a public place, or why not meet in the best public place possible - At one of our events, which are safe and secure with the added benefit of being
fully staffed to ensure you have a great night out!
If In Doubt, Let Us Know
If you're unsure about the intentions of any individuals or just have some questions, don't hesitate to contact our friendly staff for advice.
