Dating safety tips from us
- Don’t provide your contact information, credit/debit cards details in correspondence. Exchange contact information only with women you have communicated on the site for the essential time.
- After exchanging personal contact information, don’t send money or expensive gifts to members of the site at least before you meet in person.
- Try to communicate with members you have not a huge age difference with, not more than 10-15 years.
- We recommend using our video chat option, which is at least a 30-minute Skype call to make sure the member is real, is interested in you, and looks as in the profile pictures.
- Exchange photos during the process of your communication and ask personalized questions in letters. Ask as many details as possible, birthplace, pets names, questions about their families, friends, jobs, hobbies, etc.
- Avoid communicating with members who after some time of communication start telling you about their financial difficulties, their cars being crashed, urgent surgeries they need, uncles who died, being robbed, etc. and asking you for help. Also, if a lady says she wants to come and meet you and doesn’t have money to do it, avoid sending her money, arrange all the tickets and bookings yourself or without the help of our service.
