Safety
- Keep it real: Clear, honest ad. Say what you want (relationship, chat, casual) and what you don’t.
- Great headline: One sharp line + one hook. Example: “Berlin creative, dog dad — coffee + flea markets?”
- Be specific: Age range, city/area, schedule, languages, deal-breakers. Saves time for everyone.
- Photos that help: Recent, well-lit, no heavy filters. Skip faces if you need privacy; show vibe and style.
- Protect privacy: Never post your full name, home address, workplace, or daily routine.
- Use the platform chat first: Don’t jump to WhatsApp/Telegram until trust is built.
- Red-flag scan: Rushy behavior, sob stories, money asks, crypto/investment talk, “verify on this link”.
- No money, ever: Don’t send deposits, gift cards, or “verification” fees. Real people don’t ask.
- Video check: Quick live call before meeting. Confirms they’re real and aligned.
- First meetup rules: Public place, tell a friend, share live location, arrive/leave on your own.
- Boundaries & consent: Say limits early. “No” is final; pressure = instant block/report.
- Data hygiene: Use a separate email/username. Turn off photo metadata (EXIF/GPS) before uploading.
- Health & protection: Talk STI status and protection plainly. Bring your own supplies.
- Report & block: Fake profiles, harassment, or underage content — report immediately.
- Stay sober enough: Keep a clear head for decisions; watch your drink.
- Aftercare: Check in with yourself. If anything felt off, trust that feeling and step back.
