Safer Dating

Although there will be wonderful people in the dating world there will also be scammers so it's best to be cautious. Here are some dating tips...

1. Make sure you meet in a public place, a restaurant, cafe or bar - this is also part of our Rules and our conditions of use.

2. Make sure that you tell a trusted friend that you are going on a date and perhaps arrange for them to call you during the date.

3. Set an end time for the first date so that you can end it then if you want.

4. Keep your personal identification well guarded as you have just met this person. This includes not disclosing your workplace or revealing your home address, or any other personally identifiable information.

Tip: Take advantage of CitySwoon's meeting up software to set a date and then message each other at the venue to meet up.

5. After your date you will be able to contact each other through the CitySwoon message system so there is no need to give out your personal information. This is for hosted Events or online dates you set up with other members.

6. If the person doesn't seem trustworthy, or is abusive or rude in any way leave the date immediately, block them on the CitySwoon messaging system and report them to CitySwoon immediately.

7. The usual dating precautions apply, never send, lend or give money to the person on the date and be aware of people asking for your bank or personal details. Report any instances of this to CitySwoon for us to investigate at AdminContact@CitySwoon.com
