Safety First

Your safety and security are our top priorities. Learn how to protect yourself while finding meaningful connections.

Online Dating Safety

Online Dating Safety

  • Verify Before You Trust

    Always verify the identity of someone you meet online. Look for verified profiles and be cautious of accounts with limited information or suspicious behavior.

  • Take Your Time

    Don't rush into meeting someone in person. Take time to get to know them through messages and video calls first. Trust your instincts.

  • Research Your Match

    Do a quick online search to verify information they've shared. Look for consistency in their stories and social media presence.

Red Flags to Watch For

Be cautious if someone asks for money, avoids video calls, has inconsistent stories, or pressures you to meet immediately.

Protecting Personal Information

Personal Information Protection

  • Keep Personal Details Private

    Never share your full name, address, phone number, workplace, or financial information in your profile or early conversations.

  • Use a Separate Email

    Create a dedicated email address for online dating. This helps protect your primary email and personal information.

  • Be Careful with Social Media

    Don't connect your dating profile to social media accounts that reveal too much personal information about your location or lifestyle.

Never Share These Details

Your home address, work address, identification document number, bank account details, or any financial information should never be shared online.

Photo Safety & Privacy

Photo Safety

  • Use Recent, Clear Photos

    Upload recent photos that accurately represent how you look now. Avoid heavily filtered or misleading images.

  • Protect Your Location

    Don't share photos that reveal your home address, workplace, or other identifying locations. Check for street signs, landmarks, or house numbers.

  • Be Mindful of Metadata

    Photos contain metadata that can reveal your location and device information. Use photo editing tools to remove this data before sharing.

Safe Photo Practices

Use photos taken in public places, avoid revealing personal belongings, and never share intimate photos with someone you haven't met in person.

Safe Communication

Safe Communication

  • Stay on the Platform

    Keep conversations on SoloMeet until you've established trust. Don't move to external messaging apps too quickly.

  • Trust Your Instincts

    If something feels off in a conversation, trust your gut. It's okay to end the conversation or block someone who makes you uncomfortable.

  • Report Suspicious Behavior

    Use our reporting tools if someone asks for money, sends inappropriate messages, or behaves in a threatening manner.

Conversation Red Flags

Be wary of people who ask for money, avoid answering questions about themselves, or try to rush the relationship forward too quickly.

Meeting in Person

Meeting in Person

  • Meet in Public Places

    Always meet in a public, well-lit location like a coffee shop, restaurant, or park. Never meet at someone's home or invite them to yours on the first date.

  • Tell Someone Your Plans

    Share your date plans with a friend or family member, including where you're going, who you're meeting, and when you expect to return.

  • Arrange Your Own Transportation

    Drive yourself or use your own ride-sharing service. Don't rely on your date for transportation, especially on the first meeting.
