Safety
A safe first date: your checklist
Simple steps that let you relax and enjoy meeting someone new, from choosing the place to getting home.
Meeting someone you've been chatting with is exciting. A little planning means you can relax and focus on getting to know them.
Before you meet
- Keep chatting on Myparadise until you feel comfortable. You don't have to share your phone number straight away.
- Have a short video call first. It's the easiest way to confirm the person is who they say they are.
- Tell a friend or family member who you're meeting, where and when.
Choosing the place
Pick a busy, public place you know — a restaurant, café or mall during the day is ideal. Avoid meeting at either person's home, a hotel, or anywhere isolated for a first date.
Getting there and back
- Arrange your own transport both ways, so you can leave whenever you want.
- Keep your phone charged and your location shared with someone you trust.
- Don't leave your drink or belongings unattended.
During the date
Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, it's fine to end the date early — you don't owe anyone an explanation. A good match will respect your boundaries.
Money
Never send money to someone you met online, for any reason: emergencies, travel costs, investments or gifts. Nobody from Myparadise will ask you to pay into a personal account. If anyone asks you for money, report them from their profile.
