Tips for safe online dating

Online dating should feel fun, respectful, and safe. Taking a few simple precautions can help you protect yourself while getting to know someone new.

Before you move a conversation outside the app, take time to learn more about the person. Be careful if someone quickly asks for your phone number, social media, money, personal photos, or private information.

A few good habits:

1. Take your time before sharing personal details.
2. Watch out for inconsistent stories or pressure.
3. Be careful with links or files sent by someone you just met.
4. Do not send money, gift cards, crypto, or banking information.
5. Use the report feature if something feels suspicious.

Healthy conversations should feel respectful. If someone pressures you, insults you, threatens you, or ignores your boundaries, you can report or block them.
