Making A Safe Dating Profile
Limit The Details You Share – Your personal details, including your home address, place of work, and favorite local hang-outs should remain a mystery. All personal financial information should remain private and never shared.
Original Photos – Use different photos for your dating profile than your social profiles. It’s easy to do a reverse image search with Google. If your dating profile has a photo that also shows up on your Instagram or Facebook account, it will be easy for someone to find you on social media. Also, avoid using photos that make places that you and your friends frequent too obvious. Remember, not all first meet-ups are a perfect match, and privacy is key to moving on.
Verified For Comfort – ID verification is the quickest and easiest way to ensure the person you’re chatting up is exactly who they say they are. Verify your account and don’t hesitate to ask your potential date to get their profile verified too. Your personal information is never shared with one another but verification will give you the extra confidence to go out & meet in person. Still in doubt? A quick phone call or video chat is an additional, simple way to verify your date is who they say they are before you meet in person. Making sure that both you and your potential match are verified is a great way to filter out potential doubts.
Are You Ready to Date Safely?
our personal safety is Seeking Forever’s top priority—and it should be yours too. As we continue to enhance our safety features, we also want to empower you to feel confident and secure when planning an in-person date. Here are a few essential tips to help you prepare for your first meeting:
1. Personal Research Isn’t Creeping
It’s smart to do a little background research before meeting someone new. Checking social media or other online profiles can help confirm that your potential match is who they say they are, giving you peace of mind.
2. Always Meet in a Public Place
For your first in-person date, always choose a public location. If someone pressures you to meet in private, insist on public settings for your safety. If they continue to push, reconsider meeting them and possibly end the conversation.
3. Share Your Plans with Someone You Trust
Let a trusted friend or family member know your plans, including the location, time, and any relevant details about your date. Sharing these details ensures someone is aware of your whereabouts.
4. Keep Personal Information Private
While getting to know someone can be exciting, avoid sharing personal details like your last name, address, social media handles, or frequent hangout spots during the early stages. Build trust gradually before revealing more about yourself.
5. Monitor Your Food and Drinks
Never leave your food or drinks unattended. If you step away, cover your plate with a napkin, and if you notice anything suspicious, don’t hesitate to request a new drink. Prioritize your safety over any social discomfort.
6. Ensure Your Phone is Fully Charged
Make sure your phone is charged and your location settings are turned on before your date. This ensures you can stay connected with friends or family if needed. Consider carrying a rechargeable battery pack for extra preparedness.
7. Report Suspicious or Offensive Behavior
If you experience uncomfortable or disrespectful behavior—whether online or in person—report it through the appropriate channels. On Seeking Forever, you can report members directly from their profile by selecting the reason for your report and providing a clear description. You can also block users to prevent further contact. Our 24/7 Customer Support team is always available to assist with any concerns.
Your safety is a partnership, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Follow these guidelines to ensure your dating experience remains enjoyable and secure.
Navigating Your First Date with Confidence and Respect
Dating Honestly and With Respect
Life is too short to settle. At Seeking Forever, we encourage our members to pursue relationships that align with their personal goals and dreams. Honesty and open communication are at the heart of everything we do, helping you build meaningful connections.
Dating Safely and Comfortably
Meeting someone new can be exciting, but it’s natural to feel nervous—your date likely feels the same way! Before meeting in person, discuss any health or safety concerns to ensure you’re both comfortable. While pandemic restrictions may be easing in some areas, some people may still prefer outdoor or masked dates. Respect these preferences and plan accordingly.
Consider planning a social, non-alcoholic activity like visiting a park, exploring a museum, or going roller skating. This provides a relaxed environment without the pressure to drink. If you do choose to drink, always keep an eye on your drink and order a fresh one if you’ve left it unattended.
During the First Date
Treat your first date as an opportunity to learn about the other person rather than focusing on specific expectations. Be kind, stay positive, and aim to enjoy the experience—this helps both of you feel at ease.
Remember, you’re in control of how the date progresses. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, prioritize your well-being and don’t hesitate to leave. It’s important to understand that neither party owes the other anything, regardless of who covers the bill.
If you feel uneasy, discreetly ask a waiter or bartender for assistance. They can help create an exit plan, ensure you get home safely, or alert their management if the situation is serious.
