Dating Safety

Protect your privacy and use sensible precautions when meeting someone new.

Before meeting

Avoid sharing sensitive financial information, passwords, home access details, or other information that could be misused. Be cautious when someone quickly asks for money or creates an urgent financial story.

Meet in public

For an early date, choose a public location, arrange your own transportation, and consider telling a friend where you will be.

Trust evidence over pressure

If someone’s identity, stories, or behavior do not add up, slow down. You do not owe a stranger continued access to you.
