SAFETY ADVICE FOR ONLINE DATING

We have made online dating both enjoyable and safe for you by providing a high level of privacy and security at our website. While the vast majority of people you meet online can be trusted, you must be aware of predators, scammers and online liars. There have been cases when online dating services have been used for wrong purposes. For instance, some users join the site but aren't looking for dating. Instead they may use your personal details to send unwanted advertisements or ask for money (which is known as a scam). Coming across such people should be especially avoided in your case as it prevents your privacy from being 100% intact. That’s why in order to help you avoid undesirable contacts we have compiled a list of safety tips. See them below.

Trust Your Instincts

Our instincts are always trying to tell us something. Learn to trust them. Too many of us don't trust our instincts and ignore them, sometimes to our own detriment. Watch out for anyone who seems too good to be true. Begin by communicating solely via this dating site, and look for odd behavior or inconsistencies in their profile or conversation or actions. The person at the other end may not be who or what he or she says they are.

Keep Your Personal Information to Yourself

Avoid giving out your full name, home address, telephone number or any other sensitive personal information unless you know who you're dealing with. Armed with just your home phone number, a person can easily gain access to your income information, home address, and even learn the value of your home. BeDiscreet works using an anonymous email system where all your online personal information is hidden from other members thus preserving your privacy none of your online personal information is made available to other members. Make sure you send and receive emails via our onsite email system. Take your time getting to know people better and develop a trusting relationship before you share any personal information with them.

Be cautious

Never let your guard down. Some people take advantage of those looking for adult fun by befriending people and trying to scam them. These scams range from illegal advertisements, redirection to other websites where you have to pay or by asking for credit card details or money. Be cautious of members whose profiles state they are from one country but the person tells you they are from another. Most commonly, the dating site female scammer will describe herself as "real, sincere, loving, genuine" (From expression following words are so-called cleaned ‘god fearing' ‘honest‘). If you believe the person contacting you fits the descriptions listed above and looks too-good-to-be-true, ignore them and DO report them to us straight away using our scammer reporting option. Make sure you know how to save copies of your online dating conversations.

Meet somewhere safe

We really want our female members enjoy their internet dating experience therefore would like to give you a piece of advice on how to protect yourself from possible abuse or harassments on offsite dating. You can reduce your risk if you meet your dates in a busy, well-lit public place. Arrange the meeting with a person whom you know well and on whom you can definitely rely. You may also want to consider going out with a female friend, or arrange a double date. Let someone know where you are going, how you are getting there, when you are expected to arrive and when you are expected home. Tell them where you are at regular intervals on your date.
On your date drink responsibly and keep your wits about you. Always carry a cellular phone if you have one. If you feel uncomfortable or a little nervous at any point, excuse yourself to the bathroom and call for back up! Put together an instant, "accidental" meeting with a friend. Remember to always be in public with others around in case you should become uneasy. If he is a true gentleman, he will totally understand your feelings.

Enjoy your first date and have fun!
