Meeting Your Match Safely

Choose Public Places

Always meet in busy, well-lit public locations like coffee shops, restaurants, or parks for first dates.

Tell a Friend

Share your plans, location, and who you're meeting with a trusted friend or family member.

Arrange Your Own Transport

Drive yourself or use your own transportation so you can leave whenever you feel uncomfortable.

Keep It Short

Plan a brief first meeting (30-60 minutes) to test the waters before committing to longer dates.

Protect Identity
Secured

Keep Your Identity Private

Don't Share Your Address

Keep your home and work addresses private until you've established significant trust over time.

Protect Financial Information

Never share bank details, credit card numbers, or send money to someone you've met online.

Use Platform Messaging

Keep conversations on DatePress initially. Moving off-platform too quickly can be risky.

Watch for Fake Profiles

Be cautious of profiles with limited photos, vague descriptions, or that seem too perfect.

Red Flags
Warning

Warning Signs to Watch For

Too Good to Be True

Be suspicious of profiles claiming instant love or perfect compatibility without getting to know you.

Requests for Money

Legitimate matches will never ask for money, gift cards, or financial help. This is a major red flag.

Avoids Video Calls

Someone who consistently refuses video calls or has excuses may not be who they claim to be.

Inconsistent Stories

Pay attention to contradictions in their stories about their life, work, or background.
